I am sure that Kalia will kill me for this (as I know

the dance is really Pride of the Pingle by the late Ken Alexander (UK).
Someone from the USA saw it in the UK, misheard the name, assumed it
was Irish and called it Pride of the Dingle when they called it in the
USA. Such is the folk process! BTW the 'Pingle' referred to is a local
housing estate (neighborhood) near where Ken lived.

I do know it, and I had a feeling someone would call me on the name :>)
To do honor to the choreographer I should probably start using the
correct name, but I can't help enjoying the word "dingle."
