Why the Irish Dance that Way, a funny look at Irish dancing

Why the Irish Dance that Way (2006) was screened at the 2011 NOISEmoves Festival. This is a witty re-imagining of the origins of Irish Dance. It was one of 9 shorts selected by New York's Museum of Modern Art for Shortfest: Outstanding Shorts from The International Festivals, and in March 2008 it won First Prize in the Chicago Irish Film Festival Jury Awards.

Produced under the Arts Council / RTÉ Dance On The Box 2006 scheme
