Audience participation is very popular throughout an Attridge Group performance. While some people may prefer to sit and watch, the dancers create such a wonderful atmosphere that the majority of the audience are most anxious to "Take the floor".

They usually conclude their performance with specially choreographed dances, which pay tribute to the world-renowned dance shows.

Dalcassian is a small subsidiary group of the Attridge Academy of Irish Dancing, which was formed in 1989 to meet the demands of the growing tourist market.
