nice, 11 Jun 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Irish Dance (Hardcover)
I thought that this book was very interesting, although frustrating because there were no pictures, only illustrations. The best part of this book was the last chapter, in which a step by step instruction shows how to do several moves in the Irish Jig. This book is a must for anyone new to the world of Irish Dancing becuase it gives an overview of the history, future, origins, costumes, etc. of Irish Dancing.

Unreliable, Sparsely Located Information, 17 Jan 2000
By E. Venable "**" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Irish Dance (Hardcover)
This, a very frustrating book, links factual information with "myth". His apparent knowledge of the competative system is quite limited. No sources are given, and there is very little information that is specific enough to check. Perhaps a good source for a child's report.

Not the best book on the subject., 4 Nov 2000
By SEAN CORCORAN - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Irish Dance (Hardcover)
Elizabeth Venable's review above is absolutely right about this book.The most authoritative book on Irish Dance is Helen Brennan's "The Story of Irish Dance", Brandon Press, 1999, isbn 0 86322 244 7.
