Pretty Disappointing ...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Irish Step Dancing (Let's Dance) (Paperback)
The book is not geared to an 8 year old -- it's geared to a VERY beginning reader. Furthermore, it has a picture of dancers in hard shoes purportedly doing a "Reel" and dancers in hard shoes purportedly doing a "Light Jig" -- both of which are SOFT SHOE (Ghillie) dances. My 9 year old Irish Dancer and her class and instructors all got a tremendous laugh out of it though. My daughter's exact statement was: "you shouldn't write a book if you don't know what you're talking about." Words o'wisdom? It would be fine for a 4 or 5 year old, but no more.

This review is from: Irish Step Dancing (Let's Dance) (Paperback)
This is a small staple-bound but full-color booklet with attractive pictures and simple text. Perfect for my preschooler beginning Irish dance!While the pictures might interest older readers, the text is very simple: "Irish step dancing is danced to Irish music. I move my feet to the music. I keep my arms at my sides." Half the pictures show girls in street/exercise clothes, the other half in dance costume. There are no boys pictured, unfortunately. There are two pictures of hardshoe, the rest is softshoe dancing. Recommended for ages four to six or so.

Cute but not accurate,
This review is from: Irish Step Dancing (Let's Dance) (Paperback)
There is so little Irish dance literature out there that I was excited to find this book being a dancer myself. Regardless of the level of difficulty I would not recommend this book for any child that wants to learn about Irish dance. The information is not correct. Reels and light jigs are soft shoe dances, not hard shoe dances as stated in the book. You can find more accurate information on the Internet about Irish dance. Don't provide your children with misinformation about Irish dance.
