It was sometime in college when I was watching Saturday Night Live, and the guest band was The Corrs. I'd never before in my life understood people who were enthralled with music and bands. I don't remember the song anymore, but I remember where I was and stopping mid-conversation just to listen to them play. But it wasn't until a few years later that I realized that I just really enjoy a lot of things Irish. And of course, after Riverdance, I really wanted to learn Irish dance, but never got the opportunity until recently, when I moved to the Irvine, CA area.
Fortunately, a few years before that, I'd gotten into Ballroom dance, Swing, and Salsa. From there, Ballet, Jazz, Modern, and even a bit of Tap. And now I'm finding I just love to dance! =) My only regret is that I didn't do it when I was younger.
What Irish things do I play, dance, say, sing or other:
HOWDEE, DANNY. TO GO FROM NOT CARING ANYTHING ABOUT MUSIC OR DANCING TO ACTUALLY BECOMING A BEGINNING IRISH DANCER IS QUITE AN ACHIEVEMENT. I'M IMPRESSED. KEEP IT GOING! GOOD WORK! - ERIC FARMER, JACKSON IRISH DANCERS, MISSISSIPPI.
Orange County? Is it really like on that TV show? The OC, I know it's dumb...
I know what you mean when you say that you regret you didn't start earlier!!! I feel exactly the same, I started at 27 and sometimes I feel like I need some knee replacement or concentration pills!
But let's not lose that motivation of yours, welcome to diddlyi!
