I was never very good at step dancing, that takes years of practice, like ballet.

I preferred set dancing (céili) which is danced with a partner and 6 other people. A mixture of different steps like reels; hornpipes; etc.

It is very energetic, and you'd be worn out after it, but good fun grin

I was told by an Irishman that if they took their hands outta their pockets when dancing then they'd be expected to do the same in the pub ?
