Against a deep violet lit backdrop, several Trinity Irish Dance Company performers hover over the ground, feet flexed, arms straight against their sides. Their blue costumes with v necks, cut off sleeves, and knee length skirts create a uniformed look.

Any dance group, program, or department within an institution of higher education (two-year and four-year institutions) is eligible for membership, and benefits extend to all continuing employees of the organization.

A performer leans back on one leg as the other extends up and out, chest up. Against the outdoor stage's lively green hilled backdrop, the dancer wears a vibrant blue flowing fabric.
