PORT ANGELES — The Juan de Fuca Foundation will bring the stage-stomping entertainment of the National Dance Co. of Ireland with “Rhythm of the Dance” at 4 p.m. Sunday.

The “Rhythm of the Dance” show has won critical acclaim across four continents and 50 countries and gained more than 7 million fans around the world, according to a news release.

Now in its 20th anniversary year, “Rhythm of the Dance” continues to showcase Irish dance and music. The show has undergone a process of renewal, reinvigorating the choreography and music.
