The Step Crew

The StepCrew is a high-energy dance production that seamlessly blends three distinct styles of percussive dance — Irish, Tap, and Ottawa Valley — in a vibrant theatrical experience.

Led by the remarkable Cara Butler and the Pilatzke brothers, Jon and Nathan, this talented company brings unparalleled skill and charisma to the stage. Cara Butler, renowned as the lead Irish dancer for The Chieftains for over 30 years, and Jon and Nathan Pilatzke, Canada’s top Ottawa Valley Step dancers, deliver performances that are both masterful and electrifying.

Joined by a stellar lineup of musicians from Celtic, traditional, and rock backgrounds, The StepCrew strikes the perfect balance between honoring traditional dance forms and pushing creative boundaries with modern, innovative fusions. This is a show guaranteed to leave the audience on their feet and cheering for more!
