DAY<br />
Dance a Jig!<br />
IRISH dance burst into the spotlight in<br />
the 1990s with the introduction of<br />
Michael Flatley's world famous<br />
'Riverdance' show. <strong>The</strong> distinctive dance<br />
style with its rigid posture and rapid leg<br />
and foot movements had us all<br />
attempting a 'jig' at one time<br />
or another.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many styles of Irish dance<br />
steps such as the reel, the right jig, the<br />
heavy jig, the single jig, the hornpipe,<br />
and the group ceili - but the best known<br />
would have to be the basic 'jig'.<br />
Derived from the French word 'gigue',<br />
meaning fiddle, the traditional jig is<br />
accompanied by a fiddle usually playing<br />
in 6/8 timing.<br />

Give it a go! How to Jig...<br />
•Point your left foot in front of you<br />
•Step onto your left foot and bring your<br />
right foot into a closed position behind<br />
it, transferring your weight onto your<br />
right foot<br />
•Bring your left toe up to your right<br />
knee as you hop<br />
•Swing your left leg so that your left<br />
knee is pointing in front of you and<br />
your foot is by your right knee (this is<br />
also done while hopping)<br />
•Place your left foot on the ground<br />
behind you - the first of four steps<br />
backwards, left, right, left, right<br />
•Your weight should now be on your<br />
right foot, so that you can point your<br />
left foot in front of you<br />
•Repeat over and over...<br />
