In an interview with Aykroyd after their number, two members revealed that several members of the Irish dance group would be attending the World Championships this year. The almost inhuman synchronization of their movements made this news hardly surprising.Corcairdhearg was followed by Ballet Folorico de Aztlan, a worthy follow-up with their dazzlingly colorful skirts and graceful turns. The Harvard Intertribal Indian Dance Troupe, the Ukrainian Folk Dancers, and the Asian American Dance Troupe introduced the audience to their intriguing...
