i've had this program on video for 20 years. was my niece's fav when she was 10, her favorite was Aoife Clarke. :-) so much has changed and so much hasn't, and i'm glad to see irish dancing is more popular than ever.

I prefer this the steps are better modern stuff is almost the same step aldo you h asve abandoned complicated dances like Rodneys Glory asnd Killkenny Races and Blackthorn aand blue bired. Modern dance same few stepsl little ankle rocks , legs out snd in the air. Adults better in black tights. Modern stuff not great im afraid.

I could kick myself in the head for not having found Irish Dancing when I was young. Such a beautiful way of dancing!

I feel you. I started Irish dance when I was 23 and though I've gotten way further than I ever imagined I would (I'm 33 now) I do sometimes wish I started earlier. Especially when at the smaller competitions, you dance in an 'Over 18' or 'Over 25' category and the group either consists of rather young adults (which usually outperform you) or the group is just huge...

You're never 2 old 2 start or 2 return!!! My dance teacher started much later than every1 I've ever heard of & still made it 2 World's. Even if u don't want 2 compete though, as long as u enjoy it, do it!!!

Whenever I watch Irish dancing or Scottish dancing it makes me think about my family ground. It is good to see boys and men wearing kilts. It shows great pride, love and respect. I am very proud of my family Irish and family Scottish. It brings me joy to my soul.

Seeing this after returning from worlds this year, wow Irish dancing has changed. I used to go with my mom every year for worlds (never qualified in solos myself) and now I know where the memory of the practice room with the checkerboard flooring came from. I remember going there for lucozade and sausage and chips. I also believe that there were bumper cars outside, and a pool

Hoiux look up festival style Irish dance, I think it is mainly carried out in Ulster. It’s a lot more traditional with no wigs or solo dresses, however it’s not as old fashioned as this!!😂

Am I the only one who doesn’t think it changed that much? Maybe I’m just crazy. Cuz I watch recent world videos a lot and I think the only things that have changed are the costumes and the difficulty of the steps.

People most commonly mean step dance when they say "Irish dance", but it's technically an umbrella term, of which step dance is only one type. Other types include Sean-nos, festival, ceili, and set.
