they are great dancers, but there are so many. I would find it so weird to practice in a huge line... do they get alot of one on one time with teachers?

[Aligetreel]

@irishfeislove Yes. We do get a lot of one on one attention. The lines are split into groups to work on more specific things thay have to work on and then the drill, move, whatever it is, is done until it is perfect. :) The teachers will also spend time after class to answer a lot of questions. Plus, even when running steps, it is usually never done in the large lines. Those are for drills. For running steps, it is two or three at a time max. ;)

@Aligetreel thats good because thats what we all need! I bet there is alot of teachers though

[Aligetreel]

@RebiTitanic yes. There are a ton of teachers and then after the teacherss there are show captains, assistant show captains, and drillers. ;) And it's a rigorous process to get a position... so I haven't met one that hasn't been good yet!

@aliBxxx Irish dance has many forms. There is the traditional and the progresive. We are not trying to remain "traditional". If you like that style, then stick to that and stop hating on an amazing form of dance that moves with the times instead of staying still.

wow, it's like an army of little kids lol. my friend danced for trinity, but i never imagined how BIG it was.

[Aligetreel]

yeah, and that's only ONE of the locations. There's a more in Illinois and there's like 20 some locations in WI. I think we have over 2000 young dancers. :)

I love seeing these kids dance. They are keeping the tradition alive in America and you can see from these kids that they are being taught very well. Irish dancing is not easy and you have to be very fit. I love these kids to bits.
