Reviews
Looking for an interesting book on Irish dancing? Then get this valuable guide by Whelan (Irish International Folk Company). The first section discusses Irish dance history from ancient times to the present, various types of dances, costumes and shoes, cultural organizations, and music and instruments. The second section displays 30 dances, with detailed instructions for steps, including photos and floor patterns. The photos emphasize footwork, while the floor patterns clearly show the format to follow. Among the dances presented are round, long-progressive, and four-hand, which include jigs, hornpipes, and reels. There are explanations of terms like leading tops, rising step, and two short threes. Since Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, Irish dance has become quite popular, so there may be more than just specialized interest in this guide. Recommended for public and academic libraries.
