It's too bad we can't win wars just by doing this.

Thank you for the lovely video, it was very nice.

well done, superb.

wow amazing technique and hicuts! The quicktime was way too fast though, what was the piper doing?

Oh man! That was so cool!

Die Beinarbeit (Fußspitze) hat mehr mit Ballett zu tun als mit einem wirklichen Schwerttanz.

Didn't even touch the sword once. Brilliant footwork from that lass.

Culture and tradition! I love it!

i like this

Meant to be 2 beat pas de basque not 3 - and her last step was wrong.

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for uploading it. 😊

This girl is a very nice dancer but her teacher needs to coach her in spreading highcuts. She looks strong and fit enough to do them.

the bow was a little to fast but otherwise good

This video should have more views than this.

Danced by a girl?

In Galiza, the ancient celtic and suevi nation of the Iberic Peninsule there are some Sword Dances too. One of the best known is from Carril. Each year is danced in July, 25 in the party of St. James, the Galician National Day. Regards! Baile Das Espadas, Carril 2011

Ghillie Callum (name of the tune is the same as the name of the dance, actually!)

She's amazing!!!

Hey more classic Scottish culture! The cantankerous old sod! Never knew Victor Meldrew had a You Tube account LOL

I was wondering the same thing myself! Hopefully, somebody will be kind enough to answer your question.

I am a highland dancer and actually know kristen who is dancing, you can infact do an alternative last step. there are many versons. kristen attends the jenkins school of dance in airth in central scotland.

I am a Scottish dancer and I think that this was a great sword dance!!!

The piper is told to play at different speeds, the better the dancer the slower the speed

Whats the name of this tune??

love it i do highland dancing too!!!!!!!

I don't know her name. I was visiting Scotland and I was blessed enough to get to be a part experience this. Maybe one day I'll get to go back and see it again. :)

This was adorable. Do you probably know the name of the dancer?

lol anyone calling themself The Ard Righ doesn't need to be taken with any amount of value... who died and made you High King? LOL! THE High King at that!

great stuff love this!

It sometimes is that fast just depends on how the piper plays as a competitive dancer you learn to dance to different speeds of music that how i learnt

it doesnt offend me!!! im a scottish dancer

Wow she is very good!! Did they actually do this before battle or is it just myth? Good upload:)

So wonderfully light-footed.

@TheArdRigh It's obvious that you need to get some real problems if you are "offended" by something like this! Pathetic!

I don't really see why a dance is causing all of this strife. As I understand it, while I was visiting (and no, I'm not a native Scot), it was told to our group that this is a tradition that began back with the Celts and that the men would actually be the ones who would perform this dance before they went into battle. I posted this because I thought that it was an amazing show of athleticism and a beautiful piece of Scottish culture as it was told to us. If it offends you, then don't watch it.

@raksnishi It depends what country you live in but maybe look it up on google. There's sure to be a local one in your town. Highland dance schools are ALWAYS looking out for new dancers. I do highland dance and its the best decision ive ever made. Join up and you wont regret it! :)

@raksnishi That's great you have a BA in dance! This would definitely be something to add to your repertoire. However, I don't know where you might learn it as it was a demonstration that I saw in Scotland last summer. Possibly if you could travel there you could take some courses. :)

I have a bachelors in dance and am SO impressed. Wow for scottish dance. where can i take a class?

That quick time was insanely fast! XD I don't think it would be possible to do it with the spring points to that.

I know! I was very impressed and a little scared for her, even though she obviously has done this quite a bit. It does make me wonder how many times she's been nicked by the swords while practicing. Maybe that's why she wears the high socks. :)

......awesome.

Wow that is amazing! xD i doubt i could rember the entire thing let alone preform it...Awesome display indeed!!

I love the way he galavants about.

the crazy argies!!!! singing like at home

I got the singing cat at Garden Ridge when they had all of their Halloween stuff on sale. I think we paid $3 for it! Well worth it! :)
