Celtic fiddler Claire Pettit is a gifted instrumentalist, composer, singer, and dancer.

Accomplished on both the violin and viola, she has studied traditional fiddling with several of Cape Breton Island’s legendary masters.

Her performances in western and eastern Canada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Massachusetts, and across California have earned her rave reviews by music critics.

Claire Pettit plays the fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, and Cape Breton.

Enjoy traditional slow airs and marches as well as jubilant jigs and reels that are guaranteed to keep your feet tapping.

The Whyte School of Irish Step Dancing located in Natick draws students of various ages and abilities from over ten towns.

Students learn not only the cultural aspects of traditional Irish step solo dances such as reels and jigs, but they also learn ceilis or group dances.

We plan to perform some traditional set dances such as St.

Patrick's Day Set or Jockey to the Fair danced in the hard or treble jig shoes by our older students.

Some of the younger students will dance in their ghillies or soft shoes beginner reels and light jigs.

We look forward to sharing our joy of Irish dance this St.

Patrick's Day season with you!
