Unfortunately no, but you might be able to catch them at the North Texas Irish Festival... http://www.ntif.org/
You will be able to see all kinds of dancing there.
The groups I linked you to are Irish Step Dancing groups (like Riverdance or the Lord of Dance), but there are also local Scottish Country Dancing groups like Jaelie is refering to. That dancing style is the precurser to American Square Dance and a decendant of English Country Dance and Early Renaissnace European Dancing.... http://www.ntscd.org/
I am a Scottish Country Dancer, but not affilated with any local DFW area group at this time. The Dallas, Denton and the Fort Worth groups are good dancers and lovely people to work with, however.....

I'm not sure if they're available, but this is the group that came to our reception and taught us some basic Scottish and Irish country dances. Everyone had a blast, too. ^_^ They perform, as well, according to their website...

They were friendly, patient, and enthusiastic and really made sure my friends and family (and me, too!) all had a great time. I'm not sure how their performances go, and since they are volunteer rather than professional their costumes may not be as beautifully spectacular as the more professional dance troupes... However, I'm honestly not sure. ^_^ The ones that were at my reception were in costume (uniform?).

For this event, I'll definitely be looking for the very polished, professional troupes... Since it's tied to the announcement of our international expansion, I need a group that can wow the crowd in the few minutes out there.
So far, I've contacted Iverin Irish Dance Company, Emerald School, and another one based in Austin (but listed Dallas on their site). Iverin is en route to a competition that day, Emerald thought they could accomodate, and will call me for more details.
I could probably go to NTIF and write off my ticket for research. ;)

Do you have personal experience or have seen any of these groups perform?
I try to validate my recommendations for entertainment, so I can continue to send business to my network of friends & associates through work. :)
