Irish dancing great but please please do not spoil it with wigs and frills, tis getting more like the baby girls contests in the states where the parents have their children done up like dwarf adults which is no life for a child. The you-tube film where the children, dressed in everyday clothing suddenly start dancing in a mall, now that made shivers run down your spine. keep the clothing simple like the irish.
