Product description

As the title suggests, Irish dancing is not a new dance form in Australia and has a long and involved history. Dr John Cullinane investigates the origins and evolution of Irish dancing in Australia, delving into his own achive collection which includes letters,programs, rule books as well as audio and video recordings to piece together the history of Irish dance in Australia. He also draws on newspapers of the period to offer a fuller and vibrant narrative, identifying important teachers, adjudicators and contributors to Irish dance development here.

The book is comprised of two parts, his own investigation into Irish dance in Australia and the work of Leo Moloney, who looks at Irish dancing in Queensland.

The book has a comprehensive appendix for those interested in taking their knowledge to a deeper level as well as numerous black and white photographs from the early days of Irish dance in Australia.

**Please ensure you pack the return correctly (you can reuse the courier bag we sent your order in - simply turn it inside out ). Please do not just sellotape the jig shoe box and write your address on it as this means we need to replace the box on return. We do charge a new box fee of £2.50 if we need to change the box because it has your address or tape on it.***

How To Return An Item (Non-UK Customers)

International customers can follow the instructions above, but you will also need to write on the outside of the box/bag and customs slip 'Returning to Manufacturer' to avoid delays and  extra charges in customs. Any charges arising from customs clearance of your return will be deducted from the refund amount. 

We usually find returning on a tracked service via your countries post office is the most economical and incurs minimal/no customs fees.
