Traditional Irish Dance is a large part of the Irish culture. It goes hand
and hand with the wealth of Irish traditional music. These two artistic forms
have pleasured the Irish people and their visitors throughout the history of
Ireland. Dance Masters would travel from town to town usually staying with a
family, and the locals would gather at the homestead for a session of music and
dance. They would dance as a solo or as a group making the session quite the
social gathering. The dancers and the steps would be passed from town to town
and eventually from generation to generation. Irish dance has really evolved,
from dancing in the kitchen on an uneven floor to the bright lights and the
theaters on Broadway.
