About Irish Step
Irish Step dance is a traditional form of dance from Ireland distinguished by a proud upright carriage with arms held straight at the sides and extraordinarily intricate rhythmic footwork that makes the dancer a percussive instrument of remarkable precision and speed. Performed in soft shoes called ghillies for light dances including the reel, light jig, and slip jig, and in hard shoes with fiberglass tips for hornpipe and treble jig dances, Irish Step dance combines technical mastery with cultural pride. It gained worldwide recognition through the global phenomenon of Riverdance and Lord of the Dance in the 1990s. Irish Step dance has a strong competitive tradition through Feiseanna competitions at local, national, and world championship levels organized by An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha. The World Irish Dancing Championships draw competitors from dozens of countries annually. Classes are offered for children from age four through adults and welcome students of all backgrounds regardless of Irish heritage. Find Irish Step dance studios near you.
