Irish Dance Practice Music:
Here are some recommendations for dance music.
The FEIS app is available in the app store. I think they have a free version as well as subscription version.
The BEAT app is available in the app store and on google play. I think they have free or subscription.
YouTube has tons of Irish music but some of the tempos are not correct.
Apple Music, Amazon Music and Spotify also have lots of terrific Irish Dance musicians. Some of our favorites are: Dean Crouch, Declan Wilson, Darren Checkley, Sean Softley, Daniel Bolger
Irish Dance Shoes:
1. Look in our gently used shoe box.
2. If possible, attend a local competition and visit the shoe vendors booths. It is better to physically try on the shoes before you buy.
