      IcedCoffee my downstairs neighbors party loudly all night long on weird days like Tuesday. They yell off the balcony like they live in the middle of nowhere with neighbors a mile away. They wake me up and keep me up. Sometimes they shake the ground like their fighting. I live in nice apartments too. Anyways, I may take up Irish dancing. I’ll start practicing at seven or eight am. That should be awful for them since they go to bed at 4am. Thank you for the idea!

    It only just hit me why I find Riverdancing so cool, besides the obvious. The sound that they build up takes precision and skill but when you have a dozen or more people replicating the steps it comes to sound like a train barreling down the tracks. It becomes its own force of nature and it is only with the same skill to make the sound that the dancers manage to rein it in and direct the potential chaotic energies into something controlled. It is very much like trying to navigate down a wild river in a canoe or on a raft. The accompaniment from the drums and fiddles provides a sense of adventure and danger, and the punctuated steps are like man’s sparks of clarity in the midst of chaos. He learns to work with the energy in order to come out safely at the end.

      you might be surprised how many dances you have in common - because we all have shared dancing with our cultures for centuries. I dont think people realize how many movements in their "traditional" dances actually come from the sharing that happens over time. It's not bad - i Just think if you look closely at the dances where you are from - you might find something similar. I just watched a very interesting documentary about Irish Dancing. If you're fascinated - you should, too! 😃

      +Catey Evers wanna know the funny part of why they dance like this? My mom told me that dancing was once banned in Ireland a long time ago. So in secrecy, people would line themselves up behind a rock fence and would ONLY dance with their feet. So whenever other people that were passing by would see them, they thought that they were jumping for whatever reason.

I wish I would’ve stuck with it and maybe I would’ve ended up like this. Now looking at this reminds me of how much I used to love it, I used to perform on stage with all my friends cheering me on, I used to train every day and have a goals. I wish I didn’t stop trying.

      From Ireland. My advice is just stop! Stop the wishing, stop wanting to be perfect. Stop comparing yourself to the impossible. These dancers are the best in the world , enjoy watching them. just dance in your kitchen, or keep taking classes, if you love it.Meanwhile, if you even see this, and are a bit fed up and going nowhere, there's only now. Here's a couple of dance videos to cheer you up -- ( well, not strictly dance perfect, more trying and not trying). 1 old, 1 young.

    Wonderful that this form of dance is so accepted nowadays. In years gone by, in 17C, 18C, and early 19C this was outlawed by the ruling British empire state, as was the playing / singing of traditional Irish music / songs. To be caught meant imprisonment, deportation or death!
