Riverdance

I admire these people so much.  They are Irish stepdancers, and believe me, they are amazing.  If you want to see some real tapping, watch the videos.  You will be awed.  I grew up watching Riverdance on an old cassette tape we had, along with Stomp Out Loud [that goes out to you, Mattie], and I love them.  It takes lots of talent and choreography to perform this.

There are two kinds of Irish stepdance, hard shoe and soft shoe.  I prefer hard shoe, which is shown in these two videos.  These people have to be so fit and athletic.  I would die if I had to dance this hard for that long.  Seriously.

Just watch both of them.  [Note, the second clip of the second video is the same as the first video.]

I'm featured!

Recently, I featured an interview with Lydia Albano [read here], and because of this she wanted to feature me on her blog as well.  I had so much fun reading and answering her questions!  I encourage you to check out her blog and her writing, as I assure you her novels are going to be published one day.  And when they are, I will be one of the first to buy a copy!

You can read my answers on her blog.
