Irish Dance is very unique. England made it illegal to dance in Ireland, during the dark days. They defined dancing as jumping up and down and waving your arms and hands around. Well, you know the Irish – “rules are made to be broken”. Irish Dancers stand in one place and do not move their hands from their side. You’ve got to be in great shape to do this. Scottish Dancers were not limited by the same English rule.
Our Dance Stage, located near The Snug, will offer Irish Dance and Scottish Dance.
