With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, the Ocean County Library’s Barnegat branch presents a performance by the Emerald Isle Academy of Irish Dance on Saturday, March 4 at 2 p.m. The performance, geared for families with children ages 3 and older, is sponsored by Friends of the Barnegat Library.

The dancers will showcase their Irish heritage through step dancing. They’ll perform reels, jigs and traditional routines, modern show pieces and soft-shoe and hard-shoe dances.
