Around 1600 BC (Before Christ) these dance moves were started in feis which are essentially their parties by the druids and Celts.

The body movements in Irish dancing.

An example of a famous Irish dance, is called Riverdale. We will first watch. Then I will show you my description.

The different clothing and outfits in Irish dancing.

The most important part of the costume is the shoes. The shoes will make the beat of the music behind. There are soft shoes, and hard shoes. The difference is that soft shoes have raised heels for boys and girls that make a clicking and stamping sound. Hard shoes have raised tips and heels covered with fiberglass to make a tapping sound.

Girls might wear bespoke. Which is mostly a sparkly dress.

While the boys would wear a vest with some pants.

The History of Irish/Folk dancing.

Irish dancing was recognized by the world around the 16th century. We know this because in 1569 Sir Henry Sidney who was the former king of Ireland. Sent a letter to Queen Elizabeth talking about his love for Irish Jigs.

When the Celts, the Druids, and the Normans entered the land of Ireland. They introduced each other to their own religious and social rituals. They combined their cultures to create Irish Dancing.

The rhythm and music behind Irish Dancing.

The beat behind Irish dancing solely depended on the beat of the steps used in the dance. So the instruments would play differently depending on how the choreographer decided on the dance. The instruments used were the Reels, Jigs, Slip Jigs, and Hornpipes.
