Quinta Mazatlán invites you to wear green and come join us as we celebrate Irish Heritage Month by hosting Champion Irish Dancer and Director of McAllen Irish Arts, Angelika Eleni on the front lawn. Angelika will play Irish music, do some dancing and invite members of the audience to learn some steps and dance along with her.

With over 25 years of experience in competitive dancing, Angelika Eleni is as spirited as the music she so passionately dances to. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Angelika had the opportunity live in Dublin, Ireland to finish her postgraduate studies at Trinity College before moving to Florianopolis, Brazil. She now calls McAllen, Texas home and has launched ‘McAllen Irish Arts' out of the McAllen Creative Incubator.

As a resident artist of McAllen Creative Incubator, Angelika has helped bring awareness and engage the community in cultural arts by collaborating on projects with different artists and venues throughout the region. "It's a way to give back to the community while also effectively allowing me to stay in practice and constantly push myself further out of my comfort zone."
