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.
