Irish Dancing
Passion, Pride & Performance
Although the exact roots and origins of early Irish dancing are lost in
time, there is evidence to suggest a linkage between early forms of Celtic
dance and that of modern Irish dance.
The Celts were sun worshippers who practiced a pagan dance within a
circular formation of stones which has some commonality to the circular
formation of Irish set dancing.
Modern Irish dance, popularised by
Riverdance
in 1996 has become a world-wide social and competitive sport with
Feiseanna (competitions) taking place all over the world.
