• Feismom.com — Resources for the Irish Dance “extremist”. Product reviews, Feis Reviews, FAQs, articles and forums for dancers and their parents.
• How to Sew an Elastic Strap on a Ballet Slipper
• Ann’s Place — Long-standing and incredibly valuable resource that has an FAQ, history, links and most importantly, a worldwide list of Irish dance teachers and schools.
