Product Description

From Library Journal

Looking for an interesting book on Irish dancing? Then get this valuable guide by Whelan (Irish International Folk Company). The first section discusses Irish dance history from ancient times to the present, various types of dances, costumes and shoes, cultural organizations, and music and instruments. The second section displays 30 dances, with detailed instructions for steps, including photos and floor patterns. The photos emphasize footwork, while the floor patterns clearly show the format to follow. Among the dances presented are round, long-progressive, and four-hand, which include jigs, hornpipes, and reels. There are explanations of terms like leading tops, rising step, and two short threes. Since Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, Irish dance has become quite popular, so there may be more than just specialized interest in this guide. Recommended for public and academic libraries.

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Irish Dance (Paperback)
The book has great information on the history of Irish dance past to present including costumes, schools and music. The directions for the dances are very clear most of the time although if you are new to Ceili dancing it is helpful to look up videos if the dances on the internet.
