Irish Step Dancing
A Brief History
"An interesting note is that the Viking, Erik the Red, took two Irishmen with him on his voyage discovering North America and they were the first explorers of the new land. However, he did not report any dancing upon the occasion of the discovery!"
"It has followed the Irish and Irish missionaries wherever they traveled including North America"
"The Irish Dance Teachers Association was founded in 1964. There are more than 300 certified instructors in North America."
