OK, well I might be jumping the gun here, but frankly a lot of the fusion I've seen is either not informed about the Irish or Scottish historical background, or the Middle Eastern one. It's just a fusion that doesn't make sense to me to start out with, but also makes me think that people doing it aren't generally all that informed about the dances they are doing. Much like other kinds of fusion appear to other people, I suppose. To be honest, I get the 'goddessy' vibe from such things. I think I'm just a little gunshy after having been involved in both things from a historical/cultural perspective and running up against extreme misinformation. So then I assume when I see fusion of that kind there's a lot of airy-fairy behind it. If that makes sense.
