April 30, 1994 - It was 20 years ago today that Riverdance ignited a World Wide Love Affair with Irish Dance. A cultural activity that had never ventured too far outside Ireland, or where Irish immigrants made their homes (UK, Austrailia/New Zealand and North America), Irish Dance has truly evolved into a World Wide Community. Just Imagine what the next 20 years will bring! Watch the original Riverdance production below from the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, where it was conceived as an interval act and instead became one of the most successful stage shows of all time, travelling worldwide and introducing millions to Irish Dance. A Beautiful and inspirational Spoken Word Project, written and created by Charley Hill, an Irish Dancer from the Mid America Region, on what Irish Dance means to her. And Remember, "Results" does not always mean winning in the literal sense. Well Done Ms. Hill, Well Done Indeed!

If you take care of your feet, they will keep you dancing for years to come. Here is an article that provides some really good tips on how to take care of your feet after dancing. This will be especially useful information for workshops and dance camp later this summer. Click the link to diddlyi.com for this useful information.
