5/20: watched an Irish Step Dance presentation May 25, 2008

I watched two Irish Step Dancers and learned a few steps myself.  It was pretty cool. I had no idea how much work goes into this type of dance.  Fun fact:  the reason step dancers do not move their arms is because the English made a rule (law?) that the Irish could not dance.  To get around it, the Irish would stand behind a bush and dance from the waist down while keeping their upper bodies still.
