...seeing dancers trying to dance the seven steps to jigs,is painful to watch.,it just doesn,t work It does work, it's just a more 'hoppy' rhythm when you dance 7steps to a jig. We often used to play jigs for a siege of Ennis, for a change from playing reels- but the dance can just as easily be done to either. Anyway, there are other 'jig' dances which have the 7steps in them; the Harvest-time jig springs to mind.
