It is an invaluable resource. --Jean Butler, start of the original Riverdance A stimulating, smart and joyful account of the history of Irish step dance.

This is a must read for every Irish dancer with an inquisitive mind! --Colin Dunne, internationally renowned dancer and choreographer Helen Brennan's brilliant book is absolutely essential reading to anyone with an interest in the magnificent legacy and evolving story of Irish dance.
