A charming story about cross-cultural encounters through dance. At a Bronx school where the student body is 71 percent Hispanic and 27 percent black, Irish dancing has taken off among its young students thanks to the energy and dedication of one young Irish teacher. The cross-cultural dance experience led the students on an educational trip to Ireland, which itself had a significant effect on the lives of some of the young students who became reacquainted with their long-lost fathers as a result of the immigration laws regarding passports. Read this touching story.
