Discussion of Irish step dancing as seen from the viewpoints of a teacher, dancer and costume supplier. Maureen Haley describes the examinations a prospective teacher must undergo in order to be registered by the Irish Dancing Teachers Association of Dublin; she also discusses the differences between Irish step dancing and ceili dancing; steps in the training of an Irish step dancer; competitions at different levels; and the typical age range of dancers. Her student Erin Blake discusses her own experiences of training, exhibitions and competitions. She and other students of Haley are seen on video, performing at an Irish restaurant in Quincy, Mass. Maureen Britell describes the specialized costumes, shoes and socks worn by Irish step dancers. Displaying some costumes, she discusses their construction and decoration, changes in style and palette, and the price range for such costumes. Video footage shows three students of Maura Nevin performing in costumes made by Britell's firm |
