Hi Philibeg,

I wore the kilt for irish step dancing,although since riverdance came along the kilt has been dying out to be replaced with black pants and shirt. Even the girls dresses have gone very simple in some cases.

The traditionalists feel that the legs movements are clearer in a kilt, and to be honests it much easier to dance in a kilt.
When I was younger the kilt horrified me, but as you grow older you care less what people might think.
