Subject: RE: Strictly Come Folk Dancing?
Irish display dancing was considered somewhat passe if not actually naff by yer average Irish person with newly found wealth and prosperity ..................



Until Michael Flatley lit up the genre. And changed it a little.


Morris does not lend itself to jazzing. Macho maybe. I always tell naysayers to tell "that" to a buch of Morris dancers who have consumed 8 pints each and have big sticks in their hands. They usually show some evidence of re-thinking though without the stick in evidence revert to the bravado of the naysayer.
