The dancers have planned an evening of Irish dining, music and dance at the Pismo Beach Veterans Memorial Building, 780 Bello St., at 5:30 p.m. Sunday.

Tickets are $25; to purchase or for more information contact Burke at rachelle@claddaghdance.com or at 490-9209. For details on the studio, visit www.claddaghslo.com.
