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!
