IRISH VARIETY SHOW

Irish Variety Show Cast

The success of the Show is the warmth and the interplay of the cast. Each is a professional in his or her own field but getting the mix right is all important. One moment they are Centre Stage Front and in the next they are in the background backing another cast member.
 
The fact that they like one another and get on well together shines through in every performance. The interaction gives the show pace, professionalism and warmth
 
So please juggle the information on each of the cast in any order that you prefer as there is no one star just 5 professional artistes who together make a star show

MYCHELLE CARRE
Mychelle is 20 years old.  Her dad was born in the Channel Islands and her mother is from the West of Ireland. Like many other Irish people they were forced to immigrate to find work. They met in New York, got married,but before they started a family they moved south to warmer climes and are settled in Jacksonville FL. 

Mychelle is a student at the University of Gainesville but was brought up in a very Irish invironment where the traditions and values of the Emerald Isle were foremost. A keen student of Irish dance, Mychelle started as a young  kid and in later years joined the Breffni Acadamy of Irish Dance in Miami Shores. This meant a very long drive up and down the I.95 for lessons. Mychelle worked her way through one of the toughest dance genres in the world

You see before you a world champion class Irish dancer
