I love Irish dancing and I belong to the Landers School of Irish Dancing.
I represented Ireland in 1998 in France ,and in 1999 Poland, Belgium and the Isle of Man.
These are some dances you might learn:

                                 Light Jig
                                 Slip Jig
                                 Single Jig
                                 Treble Jig
                                 Hornpipe
                                                   Treble Reel
                                                   Job of Journey
                                                  Garden of Daises
                                                  Saint Patrick's Day
                                                  Blackbird.

To dance you need two pairs of shoes:  Poms and Treble Shoes.

If you want to win trophies or medals you will go to a Feis, where you compete against girls or boys from other schools of dancing. This pastime is very popular and people from all over the world come to Ireland on Saint Patrick's Day to witness this event.
