Summary: dance instruction for dancers.
Comment: I bought this DVD because of all the celtic dancing DVD reviews I read, this one seemed to be the most accessible. If so, then maybe I'm not cut out for celtic dance. The instruction given seems to be aimed at people who already know how to dance. It's brief, done only once, covers 8-9 moves at a time, and when Dunne lets you try it out, the music is at full tempo. This is pretty frustrating and not made more helpful by his frequent use of "this very simple step..." "the most basic move..."
It's a fun DVD, and he's a great dancer. And I'll probably try it again. But if you're looking for an easy 'in' to Celtic Dance, as I was, I'd look somewhere else.

Summary: Grear Irish dance video for the beginner
Comment: For someone who has never danced and wants to learn Irish Dance this is an outstanding video. Each movement of each step is done at a slow pace and then in a group at the regular speed. The only fault with the video itself is that you can not replay the steps over and over. But that aside, the DVD is an inexpensive way to learn basic Irish dance steps.

Summary: The winningest Champion so far...
Comment: Most will remember Colin Dunne from Riverdance: NYC. What more can be said about a man that has won 11 All-Ireland and 9 World championships??? (Eat your heart out Michael Flatley!) This man is the most elegant and beautiful Irish dancer recorded thus far. If you'd like to learn from the best, and witness this incredible talent at his peak, buy this video! I would also recommend, of course, Riverdance: NYC, and Dancing On Dangerous Ground, co-starring the always fantastic Jean Butler,
The dances on this video are relatively simple for a beginner and really fun to learn. I use them to work out! You'd be surprised how quickly you get your heartrate up by doing them. Lots of fun!!

Summary: amazing for little kids and big kids alike
Comment: i have tried this video before and i have been searching for it on dvd for some time...
it is so much fun and as an instructor, colin changes everything and makes it so easy to enjoy the whole learning thing - celtic soft or hard shoe is not easy - he makes it look so simple.
for anyone thinking of taking this form of dance or who just wants to have fun and move your feet - enjoy this for all that it is worth and believe me it is worth everything.
