Irish Step Dance

Irish step dance, also known simply as Irish dancing, is a traditional form of dance that originated in Ireland. It is characterised by its quick and precise footwork, rhythmic movements, and upright body posture. Irish step dance is typically performed to traditional Irish music, which often features lively jigs, reels, and hornpipes.

Historically, Irish step dance has deep roots in Irish culture and has been passed down through generations. It gained international recognition and popularity in the 1990s with the emergence of popular shows such as "Riverdance" and "Lord of the Dance," which showcased the energetic and synchronised performances of Irish step dancers.
