COMPLETE FREE IRISH DANCE RESULTS FROM GLASGOW / CLICK HERE

The 40th World Irish Dancing championships have kicked off in Glasgow, Scotland with 4,500 competitors from 32 countries all over the world taking part at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

The 4,500 dancers are accompanied by 15,000 parents, teachers families and friends making this one of the largest Irish gatherings anywhere in the world.

The lollapalooza celebration of Irish dance, heritage and culture brings together people from Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa and Australia.

Hundreds of entrants are taking part from the United States. Last year’s world titles were held in Philadelphia and were considered a massive success.

Glasgow was the location when an unknown 17-year-old called Michael Flatley from Chicago made his incredible first impression on the world stage in 1975 and Irish dancing has never looked back since.

I know why us Irish Dancers wear our hair like this. And yes, they did dance like this in the olden days! You see they made their hair look nice (curls was the style) for Sundays because of church. This was the only day they had time to dance. KillanrneyGirl is right about the Olympics. No one comments on them changing locations! Plus, if your not an irish dancer, stay out of it!!!!!

The dancers have to get rid of the phony curls.

I don't know why people let this bother them so much. Certianly there are more pressing world situations to be riled up about other than criticising the hair of an Irish dancer. The curls are charming, and finish off the look of the lovely dresses. Hair straight and flying in your face, getting in your eyes and mouth, now that's a raggy mess!! And why can't the Worlds be held in Glasgow? The Olympics don't stay in the same place, why should the Worlds? If more dancers could see just one Worlds in their lifetime, we just might save this sport from extinction, fill up those emptying dance schools and raise the standard of dancing at the same time.

Like you, queensmarg, I question the outrageous hair styles. Surely the original Irish dancers from eons past did not wear such crazy hair styles. Why don't the girls simply wear their own hair, straight or curley, natural hair, instead of that fake too curley mess.
