The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
It’s easy to imagine young lads and lassies dancing on some small town green as part of a local festival or pageant. Outdoor dancing among young people was a normal recreational activity in Ireland up until the Dancehall Act of 1935.
