Jean Butler at CRC Irish Dance Camp

[velvetsnape]

On a side note: Does Jean have a permanent studio in the US where she teaches often and, say, someone who comes in for a month or so can come and study with her? Paid, of course. Or if she does dance camps. I want to get back into my dance shoes so bad. I hate that I ever quit.

[velvetsnape]

I'm so kicking myself for ever quitting Irish Dancing. I wish I would have kept with it while there was a dance school to attend. It's irrelevant now because I've moved to a small town where no one has even seen it much less teach it; but I still am kicking myself with my jig shoes that I ever quit while I had the opportunity. A moments boredom is bound to happen, fellow dancers, but wait it out for a bit and see how you feel in a couple months.

What's up with all the pounding on the ground when their dancing to the Bradley Bro's #1?

[sands107]

She Irish but born in the US, to an Irish mother. As far as what I've read, she's spent her adult life living in Ireland and Britain. She's also married to an Irishman

[DaniXXMarie]

She was born on Long Island, is married to an Irish man, and just moved back to New York about a year ago.

[Deathwysh]

Her mother was from County Mayo.

[fredshaney]

[ZoeSkitMaster]

@fredshaney The camps in New York or California and its about 1,000$ for five days but its about 7 hours of dancing a day I've never been but always wanted to go

[littlemissreelmelody]

@fredshaney The camp is in California and New York and it is $700 I think for the week.

[JesMella]

Dang how much would it cost to take a class from Jean Butler herself? Oh my gosh it sounds amazing.

[dancingthru]

[IrishOrla]

yea it is on the bradleys brothers cd..:D

[francishughes81]

are you speaking english?

[seanmharcailin]

I think its on the bradley brothers disc? i can't tell, though. It sound slike button accordian and damien plays a button accordian.

[beckiifrmdablock]

dat isnt how yu do points cas ur supposed 2 lift

[seanmharcailin]

its a drill, and you're not always suposed to lift. That drill is meant to teach control, a soft foot, and a strong and sharp supporting leg. It helps for all the "in between" movements that come BEFORE a lift, or after.

And besides, that isn't how you spell, because you're supposed to use letters and words.

[Dancefanatic11]

wow... I wish jean cud teach me!! haha

thats pretti hard 2 leave ur leg up in the air 4 that amount of tym

[scorpioassassin]

wow i would havel oved to be taught by jean butler. these girls are really lucky to have this opportunity.

[Charmedchick111]

i thought she seemed kind if mean but thats what u need to stay in good dancing shape i should know i have been salsa dancing for like 5 years and ill admit its not as hard as ISD so yeah i admire all the ISD out there!!! keep working hard!!

[IrishDancingMagazine]

Wow these are great!! Do you have them elsewere, you should post them with us too

[ciarspacherry]

[Dudderz2007]

I do irish dancing and i have done it since i was 2 years old, i have been in many shows some of these techniques arer fairly simple but are good if you want to learn some basics steps if you were going to a gaeltacht in Ireland. i love irish dancing as it is part of my culture as i am from Dublin capital of Irealand
