Inishfree School of Irish Dancing

This is an independent reference about Irish step dance, not a school or dance instruction provider. It explains the tradition's history, dances, shoes, costumes and music in plain language, with Irish-language terms and pronunciations. Readers can learn about solo forms such as reels, jigs, hornpipes and traditional set dances, as well as céilí and figure dancing for groups. The material also describes the feis, a one-day competition, and traces changes in Irish dancing from earlier traditions through cultural revival and stage productions. Its coverage includes the development of dance footwear and competition dress, and considers how these details reflect ongoing choices within the tradition.
