How These 7 Irish Lads Went Viral With Their Dance Videos - The Tradition of Riverdance

Cairde is a dance group that exemplifies Irish dance. As early as several thousand years ago the druids – high priests of the Celts – were said to have performed ritual group dances accompanied with music. This is possibly the root of the folk dances that later developed in Ireland to become part of the island's cultural heritage.
