Danny Sung Irish Dance Competition at Hyatte Regency 

                        July 25, 2008 San Jose

Irish Dance can broadly divided into Social Dance and

Performance Dance.

Irish Social Dance is a living tradition, can be found across the

Irish Dance Community.

Irish Performance Dance is traditionally referred to as stepdance.

Irish stepdance, popularized in 1994 by the world-famous show

"Riverdance", is notable for its rapid leg movements, body and

arms being kept largely stationary.
