Boys' Irish Step Dancing Costume Garments: Pins


Figure 1.--Note the fancy jacket pin or broach this step dancer has for his back sash.

HBC has noted step dancers wearing two kinds of pins. Pins are used to pin the decorative back sash to the shoulder. The pins can be quite decorative with even costume jewlry. A fancy pin is also used to close the kilt in front. Irish dancers do not have sporans--but most boys have kilt pins to vlose the kilt at the front.
