"I'm 19, and I've been dancing for less than a year now. Unfortunately, the closest Irish dance school in South Texas is 2 hours away from where I live; consequently, I am trying to teach myself. I'll probably never compete or be as…"

"Any and all information you can find on the history of Irish dance would be GREAT! I've googled and searched at my library to no avail - it's really hard for me to find one good, solid, information-dense, reliable source of Irish dance…"

"Definitely traditional. I know that styles change and that's fine, but I've always been a traditionalist. In everything, really - books, art, public figures, clothes, society - I favor things from the past. That being said, I appreciate…"

Kaysey Aguilar commented on the blog post 'Organization Rivalry- Why?'

"I'm relatively new to Irish dance, and I've tried researching the difference between An Coimisiun and An Comhdhail, but I still can't really see the big difference between the two. Why do people favor one over the other?"

Late Starters with Big Dreams

Some of us aren't lucky enough to have found Irish dancing when we were young. Yet we still found our way into dancing, and have started competing. Late starters can have big dreams, and they have the ability to live them.See More

Kaysey Aguilar replied to the discussion 'Start for beginners'

"http://www.angelfire.com/ky/lotd/info/dances.html I found this website that gives a pretty good idea as to which dances are learned first and how they differ from each other. I hope it helps!"

Profile Information

I am a ...: Dancer

About me: In a nutshell:
Nineteen. Never danced or played sports before. Teaching myself. Is in love with Irish Dance. Is a complete and utter beginner.
Beyond dance, is an oil-painter, watercolorist, and ocarinist.

In a coconut shell:
I'm the person who never danced. I was once quite literally dragged onto a dance-floor by well-meaning friends. Right before college, I decided that I really did want to learn how to dance, but I didn't want to learn Ballroom - it felt too . . . normal? It was what everybody did. So I Youtube'd different forms of dance and instantly fell in love with Irish dance. It was everything I didn't know I had been looking for - unique, gorgeous, intricate, and demanding. I thought my love for it was a temporary infatuation; also, the timing (college was starting, I had a demanding course of study) seemed to discourage picking up a hobby. However, a year later, I still have an undiminished desire to learn Irish dance.

So, here I am. Nineteen years old, no sports or dance background, no teacher (the nearest school is 2 hours away), and nothing but the internet and diddlyi learn to go by. I highly doubt I'll ever be able to join a school or compete in a feis, and, more likely than not, I'll probably get some terrible injury, but that's more than okay by me. My goal is to have fun, push myself to become the best Irish dancer I can be, develop a better understanding of the musculoskeletal system, learn more about a fascinating culture, and meet people who love Irish dance as much as I do.

Wow. That "about me" section became much longer than I intended . . .

What Irish things do I play, dance, say, sing or other:: Play - I'm going to learn to play the Tin Whistle.
Dance - Irish stepdance, or course! :D
Say - "Hooligan" It's my favorite lame insult and is of Irish origin. Yeah, I don't say much Irish-related stuff. :(
Sing - My voice is awful; you don't want to hear me sing.

Wow, I just noticed that I don't do a lot of "Irish" things. :/

Favorite Music: Irish - The Corrs, The Chieftains, Celtic Woman

Dancing School / Group: None, unfortunately.

Dancing Level: Is there a level below complete beginner? I think I'm at that level.

How many years have you been Irish dancing?: 1/12th year

Favourite Irish Dance Show: Riverdance. Definitely Riverdance. Lord of the Dance was more theatrical, but I felt that Riverdance had more heart.

I love this about Irish Dancing:: It is unique, outrageously fun, and can be undertaken by any age group.

sorry for my late reply- been freaking busy!! :/

but anyways- thats the way I learned it nd how I'm teaching it: Beg reel, beg light jig,beg single jig, beg slip jig nd then the heavys or prim reel first depends on the dancers :) basically it doesnt make THAT much of a difference but I think it's a gd order as the steps repeat themselves as well yano!!

Ive always been into a lot of dancing so after doing HipHop nd street dance I decided to try something new so I signed up for this workshop where they did ID nd loved it from the first workshop onwards :) but like I stopped competing now but really wanna get my nieces into it so I actually have an excuse to go to comps again nd hang out with everybody :)

welcome to didlyi!
I love your "about me" section :) I think it's really interesting and impressing!
So what is it that you love about Irish dancing so much that you'd be teaching yourself?
