The
Celtic Christmas Experience
Dancers
The Celtic Christmas Experience is filled with live music and dancing from multiple genres. Meet the dancers gracing the stage for this year's exciting performances!
Celtic Flame School of Irish Dance
Since opening in 2005, Celtic Flame has captured the hearts of audiences all over the tri-state area. The philosophy of the school is that dancers and instructors work together and support each other as a family. They go out of their way to put on productions big and small that truly make an impact. Celtic Flame is no stranger to the big stage and, more specifically, to this stage. Celtic Flame held a Christmas dance recital for many years but, in 2012, joined the production of what is now the Celtic Christmas Experience.
In addition, some of the most notable performances include The Philadelphia St Patrick's Day Parade, The Mayor's Gala, The Sesame Place Parade, Disney World, Philadelphia Phillies, Sixers and Flyers games, and The Philadelphia Fleadh. In 2013 Celtic Flame was awarded ‘Best Dance Group’ in both the Philadelphia and Burlington St. Patrick's Day parades and in 2015 they competed in Dublin Ireland for the CRDM All Ireland where they produced their first international champion.
​
The Celtic Flame School of Irish Dance is under the direction of Chrissy Zeo-Mills and is currently in its 20th year of business. Classes, performances and competitions are available throughout the year for dancers ages 2 to adult, in multiple locations throughout Philadelphia and Bucks County. Experience and class levels range from Beginner to Open Champion, as well as special needs classes. Learn more at CelticFlameIrishDance.net or follow them on Facebook for updates.
