Children jig for seniors this St. Patrick’s Day

Dancing, children and seniors. It doesn’t get any cuter than that on any day of the week, but it's especially lucky for St. Patrick’s Day.

Irish dancers from the American Dance Institute in Greenwood, Wash., reeled and jigged for residents at Norse Home, a heritage retirement and assisted living community in Seattle.

The Seattle Times staff photographer Bettina Hansen captured the scene beautifully. View the slideshow here.
