"Irish Dance is an art form that never gets old, it only gets better" — Michael Flatley
A little history
Irish dancing dates back to pre-Christian times and is thought to have evolved from ancient Druid rituals. The Celts, with their intricate knotwork and art, likely also influenced the patterns and formations of the dances.
Traditional Irish music accompanies the dancing, with instruments such as the fiddle, tin whistle, flute, accordion, and the bodhrán. The most common tunes are reels, jigs, hornpipes, and slip jigs.
