Hancock showered high praised on the group’s performance, claiming that he wanted to “steal Marcus from Marcus.” The next set of performers, the Irish American Society Dancers, displayed a lively and impressive form of Irish stepdancing. Their bright, flavorful costumes were the first of many beautiful traditional outfits, from the colorful dresses of the Harvard Ballet Folklorico de Aztlan to the bright orange and white worn by Harvard Bhangra.
