I recall that Agnes deMille put it this way: "An Irishman dancing.........the feet are eloquent.........but he is dead from the waist up".—Preceding unsigned comment added by Saxophobia ( talk • contribs) 17:47, 4 December 2006

This article should discuss some of the theories as to why step dancers only move their legs. It could even have a section regarding that JayBirdtyper ( talk) 21:59, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

"An Comhdháil Múinteoirí Na Rincí Gaelacha" is obviously wrong, for two reasons:

I think that "stepdance" is more correct, despite the ghits. However, I don't object to the idea of moving it. User:Argyriou (talk) 16:32, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Should there be an image of a single Irish stepdance dress, along with a description? Angie Y. ( talk) 21:01, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone know how widely acknowledged (and how much evidence there is for)the theory about the rigid upper body being linked to the British occupation? Considering Irish music and customs were widely and openly practised in England in 18th/19th Centuries in theatres and music-halls, and the uillean pipes developing throughout 18th C. it is questionable that it was so rigidly enforced.( 79.190.69.142 ( talk) 23:12, 19 November 2009 (UTC))
This article didn't define its subject in the introduction. I've attempted a definition with material from the body, but someone who knows the subject should rewrite this. My text:
"characterised by solo dancers who dance with hands by their sides and upper body stiff, making quick, intricate movements of the feet, often with a troupe also with rigid upper body"

If any one could help update and provide more recent pictures, it would be greatly apreciated. Please leave a message on my TalkPage. ReelAngelGirl ( talk) 15:32, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
These suggestions for improvement are based on the article and this sandbox version which is being improved [1].
Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). I do not watch peer reviews, so if you have questions or comments, please contact me on my talk page. Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:08, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
I did not think that this section gave a clear picture of ceili dances. It seemed to leave out key details, such as what a ceili dance looks like, and what “perfect interpretation” of a dance means. Details also seemed to get jumbled, such as when a ceili dance is traditional and “by the book” versus when the choreography can be customized. The article threw around undefined terms such as “CLRG” and “Oireachtasi”. There was also some awkward wording and poor paragraph divisions.
I hope the submitted changes help clear a few of these things up. Please help if a piece is still unclear, or incomplete. Irish blessing324 ( talk) 03:33, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
I'm currently looking to clean up the pages related to competitive Irish dancing. Hopefully I can make this article a little less unwieldy by creating a new article on An Coimisiun (and possibly An Comhdhail) to refer to the specifics of organisations. I also plan to clean up Oireachtas (Irish dance) and Feis. If anyone would like to help please drop me a line. Triptothecottage ( talk) 02:22, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
