Irish dancers keep their arms straight down because back then, people would put the Irish in jail. in jail, they would dance to keep from going insane. their jail cells had windows that were the height level of their heads down to their waist. so the guards wouldn't see them dancing, they kept their arms straight at their sides so it didn't look like they were doing anything. but, they were movies their feet and legs only!
Scottish Gaelic: sàirdeant aig airm Irish Gaelic: Sáirsint na nArm
The last name Dewan is of Irish origins and the last name even has a Coat of Arms in Irish history. The name Dawan or Dewan wound up with various extractions, ie; Duane, Dwane, Davin, Dewyne..etc.. Seems clear from the Coat of Arms that her father had much Irish heritage and I heard he also played for Norte Dame. And I think her mothers last name was Busch or something which would be maybe of German heritage. She looks Irish to me.
There is none. Devine was a non-principle family in Irish history, and has no official coat of arms.
When the British invaded Ireland in the 1900s & 1800s, they forced the Irish to stick to British culture and not do jigs and Irish Dances. The British would peak in Irish people's home windows to see iof anyone was Irish dancing. The Irish would hold their arms tight & straight against their sidesn and gently moved their feet. Through the windows, all British couyld see was a stiff standing person, but below the window view, those Irish legs were skipping and flying.
