I've been doing Irish dance for 8 years now and I've learned a lot of stretches, warm-ups and techniques.
you should start with simple warm ups such as doing flex and point several times a day, or jump up and down on both feet pointing your toes in the air. you could also try strengthening your calves by doing toe raises or by standing on your toes for 3 minutes a day without dropping down to flat foot. to find more information visit my sources. good luck!

i have taken irish dance for about 8 years now and i think you could sign up for lessons or watch lord of the dance:P

build up legs mussels and learning to keep your hands stationary folded at your side.keep your
upper body straight .ride a bike is good,setting on
a chair with a can of food fastened to your ankles,raise your legs straight out or higher
if you can.Swimming is good,tennis is good,body stretching is good.
look in school or public library to get a book.
I wish you lots of luck.A GIRL OR LADY IN A PLEATED CLAN SKIRT AND RUFFLED BLOUSE AND THE TRIMMING LOOKS NICE.
Ma bye you can get a teacher at school to help.
