Most of us didn’t spring into the world if Irish dance knowing “it all”. In an attempt to soothe the minds of the ever-inquiring masses, this section asks: just what are you getting yourself into, anyways?
An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG) is the oldest organization dedicated solely to the government and encouragement of Irish dancing. With sub-organizations already established throughout Ireland, the United Kingdom, North America, and Australia and New Zealand, An Coimisiún has recently begun to reach into South Africa and Continental Europe. This FAQ covers the daily activities of its affiliated schools in North America. Please note that this is a general overview of Irish dancing. As of right now it has a North American slant (based on NAFC and IDTANA rulings), but with the help of dancers around the world, I hope to create additional FAQs for dancers around the globe. (If you are interested in helping write a Beginner’s FAQ for another location, or have one on your website I could link to, please contact me!) Also (and this is very important): each dance school has its own set of specific rules. I’ve tried to take care in pointing that out throughout this FAQ. You must abide firs
