Abstract
Irish Dance has many styles and forms both in traditional and contemporary dance. It has become a world wide dance form through the spread of the Irish Diaspora and contemporary shows. Although Irish dance in America is still connected to Ireland, it still takes time for changes to arrive. Also it is somewhat removed from the roots of Irish Dance. Because of the separation between the two countries I decided to go to Ireland and study Irish Dance in its native environment. I attended a two week limited enrollment and intensive workshop on Irish Dance at Irish World Music Centre in Limerick, Ireland.
