Velocity Irish Dance, the next generation in Irish tap, is an expressive, free, fast-paced and edgy performance driven by passion and pride, and they are bringing the energy to NPAC on March 22 at 7:30 p.m.
Led by five-time world champion Irish dancer David Geaney and Guinness World Record holder Tyler Schwartz, and joined on stage by a motley crew of mind-blowing musicians and world-class dancers, it’s nothing like you’ve ever seen before!
Created by David Geaney and world record holder for the fastest feet in the world, James Devine, these illustrious hoofers come together in an intimate, no-nonsense jam session of impossible scuffles and shuffles. A multimedia show for all ages that earnestly traces its evolution while toying with tradition, Velocity is a high-octane celebration of the past, present and future of Irish dance.
After an illustrious competitive career, amassing numerous major titles including All Ireland, European, All Scotland and Great Britain championships alongside his five world titles, David Geaney has now set his sights on choreographing and performing to audiences worldwide.
In 2014, David was awarded Man of the Year by Irish Dancing Magazine and has amassed more than 5 million views online for various performances. He is most famed for being “The Dingle Dancer,” performing to the masses of tourists nightly in his family’s famous pub, The Dingle Pub. Recent highlights include appearing on RTE’s The Late Late Show, performing as a solo artist, performing alongside his band in the 3Arena and reaching the live semifinals of the world’s biggest talent show, Britain’s Got Talent.
