Subject: RE: I am in love......stepdance videos
Great stuff. I do a fair number of Celtic festivals every year and never seem to be able to take in enough of the dancing. Recently, at CelticFest in Jackson, Mississippi I encountered a young dancer and asked her to show me a couple of things - she was about twelve years old and she was just great. Even slowing it down, I couldn't comprehend what she was doing.

Just as a side: Over a period of three years I saw Riverdance either eighteen or nineteen times and came to chat with several of the cast members - one of whom was amazed that I had seen the show so many times. At that, one of the "old-timer" dancers was nearby and chipped in the story of the guy in London who had seen Riverdance 125 times and finally got fired from his job because of it,...seems he was sneaking out in mid-day to attend the matinee performances instead of being at work. She also added that the cast felt sorry for him and wanted to offer him a job but there was nothing he could do within the troupe. Keep the feet a-movin! Cheers,.......mwh
