The History of Irish Dancing!!

Irish dancing first started around the time that the celts came to Ireland around 400AD. The historians believe that the Druids were the first people to do Irish Dancing. There are three main types of Irish Dancing: Step Dancing, Set Dancing and also Celi Dancing. Nowadays these types of dances are mainly used as social dances but there are still Irsih Dancing classes that you can take. Both girls and boys can take part and even compete in competitions to win trophy's. The girls waer big short colourful dresses while the boys mostly wear a pair of black trousers, a shirt and sometimes a waistcoat and a tie. Their shirt can be either plain black or a bright colour. If they choose to wear a waistcoat and or a tie then again they can both be either plain black or a bright colour. The girls will usually curl their hair into tight sausage like curls for the competitions but some of them choose to wear a wig of the same hair-style instead.
