wasnt this the article that made everyone on here really mad a few months ago

http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Time-to-focus-on-Irish-Dancing.html

bc someone just posted it on my fb feed just now and I sort of recognize it. complete garbage. pretty sure someone who isn’t even involved in irish dance has no right to speak on “why irish dancing has lost its way and needs to change”

when old school irish dance people start the “I HATE THAT STUPID BEAUTY PAGEANT MAKEUP AND THE SPRAY TANNED LEGS” rant

[softshoesandsequins]

i made this post bc i saw some old random dude on facebook (his dad was a feis musician wayyy back in the day) talking about how he can “hardly bear to watch” irish dance anymore because its basically too sparkly for him. well if u could use ur eyeballs you would be able to see an incredibly difficult and athletic art form which is much more than just the sparkly dresses and big hair k bye
