Try dancing in an cottage after your landlord (english imperialists) have given you this small space to live in, something that a privileged person of these times wouldn't understand. The hands by the sides and the legs going all akimbo, are an expression of joy, and aren't they fine pins? Considering as irish dance has been able to survive enough to crossover and seed with black rhythms to produce tap. Shows the ignorance in this statement, " an english aunt of mine once said oh the irish do speak of past times a lot. Try forgetting a millenium of enforced slavery, autocratic behaviour and general apathy towards a conquered people, that were forced to forget their language and culture. Recognise anything of imperialism, Australia, Canada, amerika, and even now with the recent events in Ukraine ! Dont express your ignorance in capitals , fascist,
