Flamenco, Irish Dance, and Tap-dancing

This past Friday, we watched some very fiery Flamenco by Maria Pages. I remember thinking to myself, “this is so similar to Irish step dancing.” They both use feet-tapping to create some extraordinary rhythms. But Irish step dancing definitely has a much faster pace. If you’ve ever listened to an Irish fiddler or traditional Irish music, you’ll know what I mean.

Besides Irish step dance and Flamenco, turns out that there’s also American tap dancing. It seems like each culture has it’s own way of showing off dancing moves.
