Format:Paperback
Not a book for learning but it's a very complete ceili reference with clear explanations and diagrams to all the dances.

A rebuttal
31 Dec 2000
Format:Paperback
As an amateur dancer in Kansas City, MO, I can say that this book and Pat Murphy's "Toss the Feathers" are the two most well-thumbed reference texts in my dance class. I've been trying to get my own copy all year, but it's been on back-order since last St. Patrick's Day. If the reviewer from 12/22/00 has a better suggestion for reference material, I'm all ears. I hope to travel to Ireland within the next couple of years. When I do, I'd like to be able to ceili with other Irish locals like I know what I'm doing.
