The percussive dance troupe Footworks based in Maryland were one of the acts with a Celtic touch who appeared at Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley’s inauguration a couple of weeks ago. They will be making a New York Area appearance in Bergen County, New Jersey at Mahwah’s Berrie Center Sharp Theater on the campus of Ramapo College this coming Saturday at 8 p.m.

They feature well choreographed thematic programs that capture the roots of dance in America with some mighty fine music as well. You can check it out at www.ramapo. edu/berrie center or call 201-684-7844 for ticket info.
