Choreographer's styling notes:
The toe taps on the first 4 counts should be BIG, well across and behind.
Between counts 14 and 15 introduce a small "spring" or "hop" into your step, this should
also be done as you change weight on the "&" count on 27&28.
Being an Irish style of dance, the hitches and hooks should be high and tight.
The forward toe taps should be executed with the leg and ankle straight out.
