From the archives: Irish dancing steps out

Of the many cultural and artistic treasures to come from the Emerald Isle, one of the most beloved is the art of step dancing. From the moment "Riverdance" began playing to packed houses, young dancers around the world have taken up this infectious, ancient Irish tradition. CBS News' Margaret Brennan (a former step dancer herself) talks with “Riverdance” composer Bill Whalen; meets young contestants at an Irish dance competition (or feis) in Texas; and visits the Gray School of Irish Dance in Connecticut. (Originally broadcast March 16, 2014.)

"CBS Sunday Morning" features stories on the arts, music, nature, entertainment, sports, history, science and Americana, and highlights unique human accomplishments and achievements. Check local listings for CBS Sunday Morning broadcast times.
