CEILI Rue & Ruta`s Birthday Party 53/18

CEILI Rue & Ruta`s Birthday Party 53/18

In 1998, on a small street of Riga, an “Irish dancing studio” was established. Only a few people knew about its existence. These enthusiasts met three times a week to master the precise and graceful steps of the Irish dance in a united rhythm. Both – the three years old children and the grown-ups, tired of their daily routines, hurried to Ruta Kapustaite – the studio establisher, their teacher and just a good friend – to devote themselves to the magic of the dance.

As time passed, the studio developed, attracting more and more people who were interested in dancing. When the studio started to give concerts and attract attention, people around began to speak about Irish dance more often. Having advanced to competitive level, the studio began to fight its way toward the European countries, where Ruta’s and her team’s efforts were highly acclaimed. The friendly team took root in such organizations as Irish and Lithuanian Embassies. Ronan Hardiman, the composer of the breathtaking music of “Lord of the Dance”, with gratitude approved of the studio’s work. And but a few years ago, Ruta found her way to the Riga Choreographic School, where she cooperated with Regīna Kaupuža, creating a new performance for children, which to this day is performed on the stage of Latvian National Opera and brings the joy to both young people and adults.

On the 21st June we are going to celebrate Ruta`s birthday and the 18th anniversary of the Irish Dance studio CEILI Rue. Everybody is welcome to join for a great evening full of happiness and joy.
