Summary
Aspects of Irish step dancing are discussed by Kieran Jordan, a dancer who is also a writer for the Boston Irish Reporter, and Barbara and Katie Connolly, a mother and daughter both involved with the art. Topics include the different tunes and their associated dances (jigs, reels, hornpipes, slip jigs) ; the use of arms ; soft and hard shoes and the different dances performed in them ; the impact of Riverdance and Lord of the dance on the popularity of Irish step dancing ; the requirements for becoming a certified teacher of Irish step dancing ; the structure of competitions, and the judges' criteria ; costumes and footwear ; the investment of time and money required for participation in competitions ; the growth of performance opportunities for Irish step dancers. Video clips show Kieran Jordan dancing a hornpipe and reel ; Dierdre Goulding performing with Riverdance and in the studio, and teaching a children's class ; Katie Connolly, Noelle Curran and others in studio performances or at competitions ; the Trinity Irish Dance Company in performance excerpts taped in Boston.
