Like this dance - we dance it every year in March for St. Patrick's Day. We add hands on your hips for most of the dance, but for the walk, walk, shuffle, step a half and shuffle, we put our arms straight down (like the dancers in RiverDance). Lots of fun!

Love it Rosie good one. Will do it on line next week

Just want to add that this dance will go to a lot of other music so you can dance it the whole year. Thanks

Great for St Patricks day and new beginners. I like it with "Siamsa" ( music for Razorsharp )
for a bit of fun. Fractionally slower but speeds up at the end. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™Œ
