Jig<\/a> in Dublin, who keep alive this tradition. You should check them out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
The ages ranged from barely toddlers to teenagers, and some of them had a disability. The boy with a disability dancing – that was beautiful. All of it was indeed beautiful.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Their posture is amazing. They’d only move the lower part of their bodies. As with ballet and figure skating, the most important part is their feet. In fact, they sometimes wore ballet shoes with a hard end and, sometimes, claque style shoes, as in the video below.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I noticed that males and females performed separately most of the time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The audience also got involved in the event by dancing Ceili. Ceili dance is one of the most traditional Irish dances – and I got to dance with one of the dancers from Jig, which was so much fun. There were two circles where dancers danced in couples.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Look at their feet!<\/p>\n
