Damhsa Gaelach
Damhsa Gaelach or Irish dancing is the Irish term for Irish dancing. It refers to the traditional forms of dance indigenous to Ireland, which encompass both solo step dancing (popularized globally by shows like Riverdance) and group-based céilí dancing. It is an ancient art of dancing from Ireland. There are two main forms of dancing, the social dances where everyone can join in, and the dances performed for an audience. There are five main types of steps in Irish dancing. These are reels, jigs, slip jigs, hornpipes, and treble jigs. Irish dancing is a fun art and sport. There are two versions of dances; hardshoe and softshoe.
Irish dancing, popularized in 1994 by the world famous show Riverdance, is notable for its rapid leg and foot movements, arms stationary at the dancers' sides.
The hardshoe makes a noise when you step and softshoe is like Ballet.
