LESSON

The Root of Irish Dance History

Irish dance history starts in the Celtic heritage. While any ancient records
may be inaccurate, it is generally believed that as early as 1600 BC the dances
were accompanied by the music of the Tuatha de Danaan, or "skilled workers."
These tribal dances would have been performed as part of ritual surrounding
cultural events, such as:

 Druidic worship - is a modern spiritual or religious movement that

generally promotes harmony, connection, and reverence for the natural
world.
 Animal worship
 Work
 War
 Courtship
 Social recreation
