What is Green Steps (greensteps.dk)?

Green Steps is a Danish Irish dance ensemble that performs Irish step dance in both hard shoes and soft shoes, set to traditional Irish rhythms such as jig, reel, hornpipe and slip jig. The website presents it as a performance group available for concerts, corporate events and private events, with or without a live band, and with the option of Irish social dance instruction. If you are looking for a dance act for an event, or want to understand what kind of show Green Steps offers, this is the relevant starting point.

What Green Steps performs

According to the site, Green Steps combines the visual and the musical: dancers in hard shoes perform rhythmic sequences, while in soft shoes they use high, graceful jumps. Arms are held close to the body while the energy of the music is released through fast Irish step dance.

The repertoire is tied to traditional Irish dance music: jig, reel, hornpipe and slip jig.

Performances and collaborations

Irish night or concert with The Early House

Green Steps performs together with the band The Early House in a concert experience combining Irish music and step dance. The site describes the band as high-energy and full of swing, with a lineup of Paddy Lawless on violin, Joel Andersson on harmonica, Martin O'Hare on bodhrán and Doyle on vocals and guitar. Green Steps appears with modern Irish step dance in original choreography set to the band's music.

Grá – an Irish music and dance performance

"Grá" is a music and dance production that blends past and present, reinterpreting traditional Irish folk melodies and combining them with new dance choreography. Green Steps performs energetic Irish step dance and elegant soft-shoe choreography. The performance consists of small stories told through song, music and dance. On stage are five dancers, a live orchestra and singer, flute player, choreographer and dancer Marianne Green, who is behind "Grá".

Booking Green Steps for an event

The site states that Green Steps can be booked for a performance at corporate events or private events, with or without a live band, and with the possibility of instruction in Irish social dance. A booking inquiry is made through the website.

This makes the group relevant in two common situations:

• You need a stage act: a concert-style Irish music and dance performance, either with The Early House or the "Grá" production.
• You want audience participation: a performance combined with a session teaching Irish social dance.

What to check before inquiring

The website does not publish prices, availability or technical requirements. Before making a booking inquiry, it is therefore worth clarifying:

• the date, location and type of event;
• whether you want a performance only, or performance plus dance instruction;
• whether you want the show with a live band;
• the size of the stage and any sound or lighting needs, which the group can confirm directly.

For anyone assessing whether Green Steps fits an event, the site's own description is the most reliable source: an Irish dance ensemble built around hard-shoe and soft-shoe step dance, traditional rhythms, and collaborations with live Irish music.
