The tradition of Irish dance has been with us for centuries - hypnotizing rhythm, disciplined control, colourful costumes, heart-quickening music and the sheer joy of the participants. Riverdance came along less than a decade ago bringing a new and modern perspective without losing traditional integrity. Irish dancing has become popular worldwide and in New Zealand there has never been such a demand to learn the intricacies and skills of hornpipes, reels and jigs. The New Zealand Irish dancing schools are of a very high standard with professional teachers bringing their pupils up to a standard where many can compete with confidence and distinction in the annual World Championships in Ireland.
