About 90% of Irish dance consists of trebles so you cannot be an Irish dancer without knowing how to do one! Beginners should focus on mastering the basics of soft shoe before trying to take on a treble but if you're ready for hard shoe, then continue reading for how to master the treble!
Step 1:
With feet in position 3 (click here to refer to the 5 positions) and on your toes, step back with your left foot.
Step 2:
Now lifting your right foot, scuff your right foot up while keeping it close to your left.
Step 3:
Once again using your right foot and the left staying where it is, scuff your right foot back in the air parallel to your left foot.
Step 4:
Hop on your left foot keeping the right foot where it is hanging in the air.
Step 5:
Bring your right foot back and place it behind the left foot back in position 3, but with your left foot in front and your right foot behind.
In total, you should hear five sounds with each step of movement. Start off slow but try it faster once you get the hang of it. For more guidance I have included a video here.
