Irish Step Dancing

With St. Patricks Day quickly approaching, I have been so often reminded of Irish Step Dancing. In fact, I covered a story this weekend in Binghamton on their St. Patricks Parade. One of the major aspects of the parade was the traditional Irish music, the bagpipes. And, the Irish step dancing. And, now with Syracuse's parade quickly approaching I think this is something that will be very visible in our community this weekend.

I find Irish Step Dancing to be intriguing. The intricate foot movements, the curly hair, and the costumes all work to make the dance very visually appealing.

  1. I agree that there is something intriguing about Irish Step Dancing. Whenever I happen upon it, I always have to stop and watch. Granted, I've been subjected to the Michael Flatley era of step dancing, but I just think it's such an interesting style of dance that I wish I had at least a little background in.
