Celtic Music and Music for Irish Dancing
Below are some of our favorite artists and albums for Irish Dancing, as well as our local Celtic Artists,
An Dochas, Floating Crowbar and Broken Whistle.
one more time- culkin school of irish dance
This is a must have album for Beginner Irish Dancers. With slow-fast speeds, this album allows dancers to practice to the music even if they aren't ready to dance full speed. Names can be difficult to understand for those new to Irish Dance.
