""So there are six basics points remember when you?re Irish Dancing and always remember these or your foot work will not be correct. So stranding straight like a pin. The first one is, toes turned out. Forty five degrees is o.k. for each foot. Irish dancers with their toes pointed in will have points deducted at the festivals. So toes turned out, always remember that. Point number two. up on your toes. You can pull your feet in a little while your doing this one. Point number three, cross your feet. That's a very important one in Irish Dancing and you'll always see it on River Dance and on the other shows. They cross their feet all the times during every step. Point number four is arms by your sides. You want a straight carriage up top, shoulders back, arms down, head forward. Always dance straight. Point number five is listen to the music. Always keep time. The most important thing in Irish Dancing. Point number six remember your steps. You got to remember your steps.""
