QUOTE (Irish Stepper @ 19-Dec-2004, 08:46 PM) | This is my 3rd year dancing. I do both hard shoe and soft shoe. I've competed in 2 Feis's so far, and have done well at both. You're right though...it is a rush! |
What is the different between hard shoe and soft shoe? The actual shoe or the dance style!?

I love to dance as well. Three of of my kids dance trad Irish dance, both hard shoes and soft. There are actually differences between dances and what shoes you wear. Soft shoes are for dances such as reels, 4/4 time, lt jig, single jig, 6/8 time as well and then there is slip jig, 9/8 time. Those are all done with soft shoes called ghillies. Then there is hard shoe dances such as,set dances, ie St Patricks Day, The Blue Eyed Rascal, where everyone dances the same steps, treble reels, treble jig, and hornpipes. We take with Rince Na h Eireann out of Charlotte NC and we also compete through them. The Girls absolutely love it with all the fancy dresses and all and My sone got hooked when he saw my oldest get her 1st participation medal. That was all it took!!
Our school website is rince na h eireann
Another site to check out is the NAFC. This is the org for traditional irish dance teachers in NA who are certified for students to compete ( and not compete as well) and works along side An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha
NAFC
Lots of luck to all dancers and aspiring dancers of all ages
