Overview
The StepCrew is a virtuosic and joyous journey through three styles of percussive dance: Irish, tap, and Ottawa Valley step dancing. Created and performed by Cara Butler and the Pilatzke Brothers, Jon and Nathan Pilatzke—longtime touring members of the Chieftains—these champion dancers and fiddlers unite with a five-piece band to take you from a house party in an old Irish cottage, to a lamplit sidewalk in New York City, to a French Canadian lumber camp in Quebec, in our boisterous St. Patrick’s Eve celebration.
