Jean Butler knows Irish dance. As the original star of Riverdance, she took Irish dancing to a new level showing just how exciting it can be. Suitable for those just beginning to explore Irish dance to the more accomplished dancer, Jean Butler's Irish Dance is a series of techniques and exercises created by Jean herself. Now you can dance with Jean at home or in the classroom as she shares the methods she developed over the years and honed through endless hours of practice. Using the special menu features you can even create and program your own personal routines. Unique to the DVD is a stunning new dance performance, entitled Blue by Jean Butler, an explosive group jam session to the music of U2, and a behind-the-scenes look at one of Jean's Workshops. Jean takes a holistic view of dancing and stresses the importance of looking after body and mind. Dance with Jean and enjoy becoming the best dancer you can be. Featuring music by Kila and specially commissioned music by Rossa O Snodaigh.

Summary: great idea for irish dancers
Comment: I am an intermediate irish dancer and i bought this video to help me practice, because i get bored practicing by myself. It was a fun workout, and I appreciated that there was core work and stretching to round it out. However, I was lost on a lot of the advanced hardshoe work that was not clearly explained. I definitely would not recommend this video for someone with little or no irish dance experience. The video teaches no dances, just a lot of drills. This is perfect for me, but for people who don't go to an actual irish dance class, it wouldn't really teach much actual dancing.

Summary: Terrific instructional
Comment: Got this for my 13-year-old daughter who is just crazy about step dancing. She loves it. The menu has a big range of movements to try out. Most is hard shoe. Some warm up. Most are done with 3 or more dancers, all dressed in black, starting slow and building. There was a lot more content in this DVD than expected. Easy to navigate menu, wholesome, beautiful set, and well narrated by Jean Butler. A perfect gift for a budding novice dancer or an experienced teen dancer.

Summary: Great video...but wanted a little clearer instruction
Comment: I Love this video....I only gave it 4 stars cause I wish the instruction was clearer. It states that beginners could do it, I dont agree, I think you need to have knowledge of irish dance before using this video
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not a beginner dance instruction
Comment: If you know the basic steps of the Irish dance, then this is a fun way to practice as if you where part of a dance troup. This deffinately is not for a person who has never done an Irish or Scottish dance. Much to fast, each step is not broken down for the beginner.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Master Class
Comment: I've viewed this DVD numerous times and have been able to progress quite well in technique. Ms. Butler is exceptionally accomplished and a pleasure to watch. As some reviewers have noted, the instruction is not especially basic or beginner-oriented. But I think it's worth noting that this is, per its title, a Master Class, which implies (at least to me) some small level of experience on the part of the students.
