克裡夫蘭(Cleveland)的愛爾蘭文化節
地方性遺產
您曾聽過愛爾蘭的踏步舞嗎？假如您聽過，也許是由於精神奕奕的愛爾蘭舞蹈表演「大河舞」。直到1990年代前，除了愛爾蘭當地居民外，這個愛爾蘭舞蹈較不為外人所知，但「大河舞」卻讓這種舞蹈風行全球。
每年夏季，克裡夫蘭都會舉辦克裡夫蘭愛爾蘭文化節，用以慶祝愛爾蘭傳統。愛爾蘭傳統慶典在該區共設置了九個舞台，集結了來自愛爾蘭、加拿大及美國境內最棒的愛爾蘭表演。照片中身穿傳統服飾的小女孩正在跳傳統的愛爾蘭民俗舞蹈。慶典中的其他慶祝項目還包括了愛爾蘭演奏、風笛隊表演及愛爾蘭feis舞蹈比賽。
Feis即愛爾蘭舞蹈比賽。愛爾蘭舞蹈分為好幾種不同的類型，除了踏步舞之外，還有ceili舞
－ 這兩種舞蹈都屬單人表演的舞蹈，舞者的腳步動作快速、踢腿角度高，而上身都必須維持直立，不可晃動。踏步舞強調緊閉的形狀及姿勢，舞者雙腿緊密貼合，沒有高角度的踢腿，很少或根本沒有任何的轉身或移位動作，而Ceili舞則著重足部表演、腿部及足部的伸展動作，再加上踏步舞中可見的長型隊伍及快速動作。
Have you ever heard of Irish step-dancing? If you have, it's probably thanks to the high-spirited Irish dance show "Riverdance." This form of Irish dance was relatively unknown outside of Ireland until the 1990s, when this show made it popular around the world.
Each summer, the traditions of Ireland are celebrated in Cleveland at the annual Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival. This celebration of the region's Irish heritage features the best in Irish entertainment from Ireland, Canada, and the United States on nine stages. The girls in this photo are doing a traditional Irish folk dance in authentic costume. Other highlights include Irish plays, pipe bands, and an Irish feis.
A feis is an Irish dance competition. There are different types of Irish dance. In addition to step dancing, there is ceili dancing - both kinds are solo dances with fast footwork and high kicks, all done while the upper body is kept rigidly straight. Step dancing emphasizes a close form and posture with legs kept together, no high kicks, little or no turning and no traveling. Ceili dancing emphasizes dancing on the toes, extension of leg and foot, long reach and the quick movements seen in the step dances.
