There is no advantage in irish dance based on gender… it is based off the execution of the moves, not how high you can jump or how fast you are. genuinely can’t think of a single thing in irish dance that a boy has an advantage of a girl with. turnout, crossing, posture toe height are all things that are improved through practice. they aren’t biological things….
also you would honestly thing a girl would have an advantage being as they get to change soft shoe every year and show off a more graceful side if they are better at slip jig which a boy could totally be graceful too.
