Well Riverdance is kind of representive of Irish dancing but also of ballet and jazz. My daughter's Irish dance recital is also a combo since the teachers feal Irish involves other types of dance too. -- Melody's Dance Board

Hmm...Jazz? I dunno, I didn't really notice any of that, though I do think RiverDance revolves a bit to much around tap, in some parts. At my dance school we stick to dead traditional Irish Step Dance, we keep it within the tradition. (NT) Melody 19:49:51 05/14/02 Tue

Uh, well, dance schools are SUPPOSED to stick to actually Irish dance...Riverdance is just a show, so it encompases things that will entertain all people. It's pretty untraditional as far as choreography, but the moves of the Irish dance parts are pretty much Irish dance, which some alterations. (NT) -- Sarah, 19:29:53 05/28/02 Tue
