- A long time ago, when the Celts were ruled by the Roman Empire, there lived a mighty warrior, who revolted by leading the Celtic people into historic battles. This is the story of a warrior who was fierce, a warrior who was powerful, and a warrior who was relentless.
Her name is Boudicca.

Even if it’s not ‘your kinda thing’ watching someone who is excellent at their craft is inspiring
Absolutely! She’s an amazing dancer!
She’s amazing!
Ha, I came down here to say "This isn't really my kinda thing but that was great!"🙂
@@skylark4901same
I agree there's no way I can do that, but I can twist again like I did last summer. Yeah, twist again like I did last year!😊 Yes, she's good at what she does.
Respect!! I don't normally watch this type of dancing, but that control.. and passion.
Yeah I think I pulled a muscle just watching
and thighs... 😈
Me neither! I bet she would be a good ballerina tho cuz she got en pointe and she has strong legs.
What an incredible, beautiful figure she has. These dancers are physically fit, much like the elite pro boxers of today. Maybe even more so. The tremendous amount of grueling, hard work that these dancers must put in, has got to stagger the mind.
Meagan Urbanek, congratulations on all of your success!
Aren't they amazing. I think there have been a few boxers who also took up dancing as part of their workout regimen. Vasili Lomachenko was one, and let me look up the other. Harry Garside was an Olympic boxer and a professional ballet dancer!
@@Hollylivengood I did not know that about "Loma". Thanks for sharing! Now that you mentioned it, if you look closely at his fight videos, it does appear as if he is "dancing in circles" around his opponents. One moment he is standing in front of them and in a split second he is behind them and throwing punches from a completely diferrent angle. His opponents must be mystified. There is a great UA-cam video about Mike Tyson, it's titled : "Mike Tyson | Crazy Drills That Became KOs PART 2 -Technique Breakdown". And yes, ballet dancers are indeed some of the best conditioned athletes there are. Cheers!
Beautiful bad ass definitely the right portrayal of Boudicca
I was definitely not expecting “Seven Nation Army” to end up in the mix.
I had to think on it for a minute 😂 like "I know I know this song...."
На 1:14 я крикнул "казачок"!
Imagine the virtually endless amount of human energy, ingenuity and passion that had to unfold so we can watch this perfomance online all over the world: Musical instruments, cameras and computers had to be invented, built and distributed. The internet had to be conceptualised. The globe had to be enveloped by cables and sattelites. The dancer had to devote hundreds of hours to practicing her performance. Chemists, engineers and tailors had to work together just to come up with stretch leggings for her to wear. And finally, dozens of people had to work together to organise that event. And this is just a very short summary.
Anything is possible when we work together, friends!
This is beautiful thanks for sharing this perspective
The best homage to the great warrior queen that I have ever seen! Applause 👏👏👏👏 Applause!!
She is fierce! Absolutely brilliant. Don’t mess with Boudicca.
Wow! That gave me goosebumps! You’re an amazing dancer! 🥹☺️👍🏻👍🏻
WOW. That was out of this world stupendous! Thank you so much💚🤘🏼🍀
To those super talented people who bring us joy in so many ways, thank you.
I think a lot about Boudica and the others who fought the new world order of their time. "You will be Roman and be happy" or dead. Your dancing honored her courage. Thank you.
It's like "You will be Russian / Soviet & be happy, or dead" the way Russia occupied so many eastern european countries and tried so hard to wash away all of their culture & heritage
She is fantastic, the control and precision coupled with her obvious passion for the dance is such a pleasure to watch 👍👍
Absolutely spot on, could not have been done any better. She really became the essence of Boudicca, expressed through her dance.
I think Boudicca herself would be well pleased with this tribute!
@notsoseriousmoonlight, What a really nice thing to say. Great comment.
@@Reason1717I'm with you! Great comment!
Indeed! You’re just thinking about it. Made that a reality. Bravo!
I am just floored at how damned awesome this dance routine and this dancer was here! I'm not a dancer, I'm a drummer but the attention to the tempo and the beat was 2nd to none. Her form and grace were so beautiful, just tear jerking. Beautiful and powerful. I give the whole thing a 10 out of 10!!
Amazing! Talk about a challenging dance style.
It’s an evolution of this creature. Beautiful performed. The choreography is so detailed even the expressions are choreographed into the movement. ❤🎉❤🎉
Looooove this amazing dancing style! The dancer is phenomenal!
Very reminiscent of Gillian Norris in some part.
В начале я не считал ее симпатичной,но в финале она стала для меня потрясающей красоткой❤
Зачем так прилюдно переобуваться, не понимаю
Every time I view this incredible poetic wonderful dancer I see more and more perfect selection of art. 'Wonderful'
Красавишна!!! Валькирия!!! Мы в России считаем Валькирий и Белых медведей родственниками. Ваша грация полностью передает движения жизни!!! Вы - лучшая!!! Майкл Флетли нервно курит в сторогке!!! Срасибо за движуху!!!)))
Родственниками? Я первый раз такое слышу, кто так считает? 😅
@@arinarina9062 Да по синьке и не такое случается у нас 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow that was cool. Love the way she gets up at the end with attitude,
I love her fierceness, and I love her hair too, great performance and congratulations on being the best in the world..
Dang! She's a tower of fire!! Beautiful perfection! ❤
She can do all the things! Excellent and a joy to watch. 👏
Awsome ! Drama, comedy, surprise, everything ! Nice mix music
Nicely done ! That was dynamic and awesome to say the least
Don't know why but I get a rush and goosebumps watching her dance just like I get when listening to 1990s old school Rave/party bangers 💯💯💯👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥
You are simply brilliant, your body's movements are impressive and beautiful to watch. Very inspiring dance.
That is some serious talent. Bravo Meagan.
She scared the damn hell outta me when she first started after marching out there. I wasn't prepared at all. She's EXCELLENT! This is really something to see!
Those shoes are freaking crazy! They bend like pointe shoes 😲 That was awesome!
I hope we see more performances from this excellent lady dancer!,
That was amazing I've never seen tap dancing like that. Well done
It’s Irish folk dancing, not tap dancing. The shoes are very different.
Wow!! She set the place on fire!!! She’s next level!!👏👏👏
This is the first time I’ve ever enjoyed traditional Irish dancing. That’s quite a feat. You’re an amazing and powerful performer.
Great fun to watch. Girl you are a beautiful Dancer,
Never, ever gets old. Beautiful, pure poetry in motion!
Какой убедительный образ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I couldn’t get enough of Lord Of The Dance when it hit the states; it must have something to do with my Irish heritage😁She’s awesome!!!
I, too, was intrigued by LOTD. Saw 2 or 3 live shows, and bought the VCR tapes which were played over and over. No Irish in me, but my mom was from England. Close enough 😊😊
Outstanding!
Wow she’s a firecracker!! Such talent
You can really tell how passionate she is. Bravo!!!
Какое-то новое явление в мире танца ! - ШОТЛАНДСКИЙ БАЛЕТ ! можно назвать.
Мастерство и Талант исполнительницы - УНИКАЛЬНЫ !
- Энергетика - Атомная...
- За такое Искусство -
Огромное Спасибо !
Шотландский?! 😳 А разве это выступление не на базе ирландского танца?
@@МихаилЗиновьев-ц1п Удивление понятно - да безусловно Вы правы - основа ирландский степ но при этом отчётливо угадывается Русский балет - выход на пальцы - работа рук - ног - много пластики - повороты ... - хотя основа Русского балета - Французкий королевский...- отчётливо видно что это нечто до селе не в данное - новое, при этом конечно пока это индивидуальный номер - танец исполнителя с ОГРОМНЫМ ТАЛАНТОМ ! и до спектакля очень далеко, но вполне может быть если будут появляться другие исполнители и получит развития школа.
- Мнение индивидуума - субъективно - это взгляд зрителя - НО ВПЕЧАТЛИЛА ...!
Она потрясающе исполнила этот танец
Какая Шотландия? Это танцы изумрудного острова.
This was AMAZING to watch!
Beautiful! More please of this lovely dance!
Amazing footwork!
She kinda looks like a warrior dancing and I love it. ❤
You are very talented and a joy to watch.
What an amazing dance and such a fitting tribute to Boudicca and her fighting spirit.
What an incredible performer! WELL DONE!!
Well, I can see why she’s the World Champ 👍
She is absolutely incredible!!! The skill she has is amazing! 😊❤
Amazing dancing & creativity. Bravo!
So amazing. Now that's talent
Mighty💪🏻, loved the seventh army bit.❤
Just brilliant ❤.
AMAZING!!!!💚💚💚🍀
Damn, she is the one....awesome talent.
Thank you…. Great Dance ,& performance……..
The real story of Boudicca is so much better. She grew up running around a farm she caught a kings eye and married him. She was known to be helpful and kind. But when her husband dies and wills half his kingdom to Emperor of Rome. A local political flunky decided, well if he's going to give away half his kingdom it wouldn't be a big deal to give him the other half. So he goes out a to tell Boudicca and her to leave if they don't want trouble. They didn't leave so the flunky sent Roman soldiers out to SA the mother and her two daughters. Rage filled her heart and she felt badly for her daughters. She started talking to her neighbors and she got about 3,000 to follow her. But they were farmers and couldn't leave until their crops were in. Fortuitously the entire legion left the area to go up north to the Hadrian wall and that's what helped her Campaign. She had nothing to lose so she fought like a girl and ran a whole bunch of Roman's out into the Thames in ships. She wanted to go on, but the time the farmers had ended. She took her daughters home and then heard the legions were coming back. She and her girls removed themselves beyond the Romans reach. The political flunky that started it all. He fell on his sword
They found a load of beheaded bodies and heads in London when they were putting in the Queen Elizabeth line for the London underground which were from her rampage across London, so it’s quite possible she could of done some of them her self. Her name is pronounced like Boo-Dicc-er not boo-dike-er lol. She fell in battle in the end. She was Queen of the Icene tribe and was defeated in the end by the famed Roman General Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, Boudicca army strength was 230,000 strong and the Romans 10,000 strong and the army of Boudicca lost together with casualties 80,000 people and Paulinus 400 soldiers. The Roman historian Cassius Dio did like to embellish Roman victories, so I highly doubt her army was anywhere near 230,000 strong.
What a fascinating story!
Well that’s part of the story😊
I was taught it was pronounced ‘bow d see a’?
Really amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Riverdance material. WOW! Awesome!
Powerful, fluid, artful. 👏🏼
Wow, Megan! You are looking very beautiful and gorgeous! 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤💃💃💃💃
Incredibly beautiful 🔥
Не бросай, продолжай, веди канал.
Молодец
Fantastic!❤
👏🏼 Damn! She killed it. 👏🏼 💐
That was seriously impressive
Epic; I love it too much!
Extraordinary!
Not exactly my personal cup of tea, but no doubting she is a very talented dancer.
This was a wonderfull experience to watch.
Like Queen Boudicca, she slayed 🔥
I have always heard Boudica pronounced boo da ki and if I hadn't seen it in the description of the video I would not have known who it was supposed to be because of the announcement beforehand. She preformed wonderful and strong 💪 ❤
Wow that was actually quite amazing dancing.
Impressive footwork! It makes sense that this is about a warrior..... Footwork is extremely important in battle.... It's how you get the f out of the way, and how you position yourself to take the upper hand... Great performance!... Love your hair also!!!
Top skillset! Absolute quality.
It must have taken years of hard work and training to be that good. Beautifully done.
Beautiful!
Absolutely Brilliant Meagan!! Léiriú álainn ar Boudicca. Well done and Congratulations, I hope to see you compete again next year!
Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Such talent, such beauty. Woww
She is amazing.
You are amazing!
Boudicca was a complete bad ass!!
Great dancing kid 😊
Почему же? У женщины такая трагическая судьба...?
So you knew her? Ok …
Очень любопытно.Ее дочерей отдали на поругание.Она была бита кнутом на площади.Возглавила восстание, и как видно в танце покончила с собой ... Почему же она засранка😁
@whynottalklikeapirat Obviously I didn't know her Are you OK?
@@jamnoise72 Yeah it’s obvious - exactly - so how do you know what she was like 😂
“Every single dance got a story to tell.” -Meagan (probably)
Beautiful ❤️
Love the moves on your high toes! Amazing!
Wow! Perfection!
Танец огонь 🔥, фигурка супер! 👍
She is Amazing and Beautiful ❤️
It's not easy to make tap dancing exciting, but you did. Thank you!
First, you need to watch more tap dancing. Second, this was Irish folk dancing which is not the same thing.
Irish hard shoe is the ancestor of tap, not the same thing at ALL.
Wow...just WOW!
