I piss her off by telling her that "RiverDance" isn't Irish, you can't tap dance on sod!

actually they took their doors off, put them on sawhorses and that is how that form started. look closely at highland dancing, then Irish dancing and notice that the basic steps are very similar, but the Irish dancing tends to be very barrow, forwards and backwards and such.
at least that's what my Highland Dance Instructor told me!!!
