Irish Step Dancing: A Documentary
Irish Dance comes in two different forms: social dance and performance dances. Irish Dance was popularized in 1994, by the international phenomenon "Riverdance," which featured Irish Dance champions Jean Butler and Michael Flatley.
Historically, Irish Dance has its roots in the 18th and 19th centuries. In its early days, Irish Dance was not performed in contests or exhibitions, but was performed socially. This art form has grown up today to include a large fan base, worldwide.
