Nic Cionnaith replied to the discussion 'Ryan and O'Donnell hard shoes and pumps'

"I can't tell you anything about Ryan & O'Donnell except that I've heard they're very comfortable for dancers with narrow feet. I also know a few dancers who put orthotics in their hard shoes. What kind of floor do you usually…"

Nic Cionnaith replied to the discussion 'The Big Jig on TLC'

"Yeah... can't find it anywhere. I missed it as well, even though I'm in the US because I don't have television. Had I known it would never be posted online, I would've tried to get to a friend's house to watch it or…"

Profile Information

I am a ...: Dancer, Musician

About me: I started to learn Irish dance as a college freshman. So far I've been learning on my own, but I plan to start taking classes this summer.

What Irish things do I play, dance, say, sing or other:: I know a bit of basic Gaeilge... "an cúpla focal," as they say. I can know some traditional Irish tunes on the piano and currently play the Celtic harp. I also know a lot about Irish history and follow current politics pretty closely.

Favorite Music: My favorite Irish dance musicians include Anton and Sully, Dean Crouch, and Cormac O'Sé. I mostly practice to Ellery Klein and Ryan Lacey's wonderful "Step into the Beat" album.

Dancing School / Group: Independent

Dancing Level: Adult Beginner

How many years have you been Irish dancing?: A little over a year.

Favourite Irish Dance Show: Riverdance... the original and the best. I have very distinct memories of watching it on television with parents as a child. I was mesmerized by Jean Butler. These days, I enjoy watching Feet of Flames as well. Bernadette Flynn performed Saoirse's "Dance of Love" so beautifully and currently, Ciara Sexton is brilliant as Morrighan.

I love this about Irish Dancing:: Grace and power.

I love this about Irish Tradition:: Its depth and history.
