Irish Dancing Step by Step
In this brand new 90-minute video, Olive teaches you each Irish Set Dance fully in her trademark successful teaching style, followed by the dancers demonstrating each dance in their full costume. This showcase of traditional Irish set dancing is a must for the potential dance teacher - as 5 of these 8 Set dances are necessary for the dance teacher examinations. Hence, it is the definitive reference guide for all Irish dancers, teachers and adjudicators alike! Some of these dances have almost been lost, as the old dancing masters who handed down this beautiful tradition have since passed on. Dances included are: King Of The Fairies; 3 Sea Captains; Jockey To The Fair; White Blanket; Job of Journeywork; Garden of Daisies; The Blackbird; and St. Patricks Day. The dancers demonstrating with Olive are all World Irish Dancing Champions including Colm O'Se, who won the World Irish Dancing Championships no less than eleven times! He also danced in the original Riverdance Production and was understudy for 6 years in the show. Joan Rafter is also a Riverdance veteran of the last 6 years, as is Ronan McCormack. Claire Smyth and Shereen Dolan have danced in the famous 'Burlington Cabaret' in Dublin for many years as well as being champion dancers in their own right. Anthony Fallon is also a World Champion Irish dancer and is a member of the Riverdance Flying Squad, being too young as yet to dance in the official troupe. Olive's proven teaching method, combined with the dancing expertise of the world-class Irish dancers listed here, make this a fantastic quality tuition video which no collection can be without!
