Thursday: The Importance of The Arts–Irish Dance

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day a little longer by Irish dancing around the house with the kiddos.

Irish dancing is notable for it’s rapid leg movements, body and arms being kept largely stationary.

Did you know that this type of dance came from the evolutionary descendants of the Quadrilles danced at the French court in the late 18th and early 19th century? These dances were brought to Ireland and taught by the early dancing masters who adapted them to Irish traditional music and modified and elaborated them to show off their dancing prowess.

Show off your “dancing prowress” by watching the above video with your kids and having some fun!

    As a life-long tap dancer, I have always been in AWE when aatching Irish dancing! Thanks for reminding me how much I enjoy it and now I need to get out my Lord of the Flies and River Dance DVDs!

    This is a must have book if you are planning on doing the master cleanse. I have done 2 10 day cleanses and this book has answered all of my questions. I tell everyone who plans on doing the master cleanse that they need to purchase this book. It will help out tremendously in completing the 10 days. You will know exactly what to expect for the 10 days.

    This book is truly remarkable! I did the 10-day Master Cleanse in May with only the information I got online from Stanley Burrough’s book. I had so many questions and nowhere to get the answers until I heard about Peter Glickman’s book, “Lose Weight, Have More Energy, and Be Happier in 10 Days”. I am now on day 9 of my second cleanse and am so much more confident of what I am doing and am constantly referring to this book to read what others have experienced. This cleanse is so “do-able” because Peter coaches all along the way. The results are amazing! I’ve lost 6 lbs. and haven’t experienced a bit of hunger. I am energized and have decided to make this a 20 day fast. The exhilarating feeling of cleansing your colon of a lifetime of crud is empowering and freeing. Thank you, Peter, for devoting your life to helping we health-minded people with this easy-to-read gem of a book. I appreciate the reasonable cost, too!
