Webster’s Dictionary says the reel comes from ragla which means to stagger, incline, or move in walking first to one side then to the other. Another source gives its origin as the Anglo-Saxon rulla meaning to whirl.

The Newest Utah State University Honors Elective!

In case you haven’t heard, the Honors program at Utah State University has put together a new elective starting Fall 2011. It’s an Irish dance class, and guess what? Hannah Thompson will be teaching!

PE 1700 - 003
Class time: 12:30-1:20 M/F (1 credit)

Hannah started dancing with Rinceoiri when she was eight and is taking a break (after what 12 years?) to go to college. We miss her like crazy and are really excited about this fun opportunity for her!

If you’re going to USU and want to continue dancing, take her Irish dance class! She’s a great teacher!

I am a dancer. I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living…. In each it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one’s being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.
Martha Graham
