Where would Irish culture be without the art of dance? The home to Michael Flatley’s inspiration, those big curly wigs and feet that won’t quit is a place you’ve just got to see for yourself.

  • Riverdance, Eurovision in Dublin 1994 – the performance that took the world by storm
  • As Caitlin mentioned, poor Chandler won’t be trying a jig anytime soon…
  • Here’s a visual breakdown of the Siege of Ennis
  • Last but not least, this little one’s first feis is too cute for words

  • Translation – We will be dancing tomorrow night at the pub.
