- Black guy doing an Irish jig at the drop of the hat at the Strand Bar in Derry/Londonderry, UK City of Culture. A week long celebration of Irish music and dance at the Fleadh Cheoil 2013...Touch of the Michael Jackson dance routine. Wasn`t he good:)?
Notice how the irish weren't racist towards him..... No matter your color if you respect our history or have our blood... we love you
Paul Muzik that’s because we do know something about what it’s like to be hated. Still.
And I love you. I'm an American folk dancer. I am a black American Europhile who loves and respects the dance and music traditions of Europe. I've done folk dances from Eastern Europe and Scandinavian traditions for more than 40 years. For me, it's easy doing African and Afro Latin dancing. It's more of a challenge to do European folk dancing. One day I will go to Ireland and will attempt to learn your folk dances. I've actually learned Irish step dancing in America. Cheers. I love you, my brother.
@Cathal Ó Braonáin Well i'm from Ireland and i do.
@Cathal Ó Braonáin I'm guessing it's because I want to, it can be spelt both ways color/colour.
He grew up there probably.
Fair play get that man a pint
He just derives pure joy from dancing...Stellar....wish he could do an entire show.
I love the way he is Just dancing.
He KILT it! LOL
Ireland? kilt? you must be from the colonies
Some people a joke
Wrong country, m8. Lol.
This guy make Irish dance looks good
I love seeing how happy he is!!! I'm Puerto Rican and for many years at my job they thought I was Irish...lol...such a beautiful rich culture!
To quickly learn to do the Irish River dance, you have to practice bare foot on a hot tin roof in August.... That's the way my Daddy taught me....
Very good.ha ha
Hahahah 😂😂😂
Lolol,yeah would keep ya hopping alright!😁
As cool as he wants to be!
The extra moves are brilliant
That bit at the end! What a legend! :D
I’m with this guy. You feel it in your feet and soul, but I ain’t holding down the joy my those arms. 😁💃🏻🎻 🎶
That’s awesome.. I love it when I see people celebrating each other.❤️
My guy is so free & happy ❤️
Fella enjoying all by himself. And you know he must add some sass! 😊
This isn't surprising. Look at very old black and white movies of black dancers tap dancing in America and you see the links. So cool to see how NOT far apart we are even if it seems like it.
Beacuse AA tap dance had some influence form irish dance. Since in the places it developed the dominate cultures were AA and Irish
My boi can treble step! Bless him! :)
If whites can pop lock and break dance, why not!
Dance is dance in the end let's just vibe
i would simply say he's doin sean nos for himself & having a good time which some of us do....
you dance for yourself simply for joy or sometimes to release the energy even negativity.
Outstanding!!
Nobody can resist Irish music
This man has pure talent, pure power ✊, & definitely a 100% pure heart of gold 💛 . He's absolutely amazing 😃 👏🌹.
Beautiful dancing 👌
Give him an Irish passport inmeditly
Only us will pop lock to Irish music 😂😂😂 i love us!
Wow............
I love Irish people they're amazing.
This guy is awesome. I love it.
Wow I love it keep dancing
Blacks and Irish have music within.
Dang! Thank you, Lord, for black men!
What about the women ? Lol
He was getting it
If you can do " Sean-Nós " dancing we don't care if you're black, white, brown, yellow or rainbow coloured we love you and adopt you, maith an fear agus go n-eirigh leat a Chara !
Phil Bebbington lovely comment, we could do with more of that.
Legend 👏
Brilliant ... he's a real natural 👍👍👍👍
Well since black Irish people exist ..... it makes sense.
That looks like American step dancing which must have some connection to Irish dance , the music fits well !
Not cultural appropriation, cultural appreciation❤
Fabulous irish man
THE comment"" touch of the Michael Jackson," no need for that this was serious Sean nos dance from the dude dancing ,which started way,way before MJ
Love this..
Yup ya Bhoya!
❤️
Americans find a way to make it happen.
Love ❤️
He can dance as good as my daddy could,he just needs a bit of run and twist and turning round.
Isn't fimiliar to tap dance? if this how irish dance looks like, I will tell you the tap dance is like this but a lot faster and harder to do.
👏👏👏👏
Hell yeah!
The couple who was prancing shudda sat down and let him have the floor.
There is room for everybody on a dance floor on these kinds of joyous evenings. Leave the elderly couple alone, please, they have just as much right to be enjoying themselves as anybody else! What discrimination, wow!
No, they should not have done anything of the kind!
They are free to do their own thing.
It's part of living in a free society.
We do NOT need 'Dance Police', thanks...
Begob he can dance ☘️
Fair play
Ehhhh....it's a reel actually :)
yes..it is Reeely:)
I can Irish dance!
Okie Dokie.....
Nobody said it.
good on yah fella more appalachian clogging but that will do for me good on yah
Hahhahahhaha dang so funny
When did us Irish say u can't Irish dance ? We don't care who tries out r culture the more the merrier oh aye
I'm a black Irish....I think this video and that statement is just ignorant!!!!
Lucky i agree with you. When I saw the title I was genuinely appalled
Relax it was a sarcastic joke how many black guys do yo see dancing to Irish music
Mike Dodd well if you play Irish music a lot of black guys would dance to it. I think a lot of the people who are surprised by this actually should get out and meet more black people. Everyone’s different
@@ilovesesshomarusama716 I grew up and live in a majority black nieghborhood and had black girlfriend's my nieces and nephews are biracial all if them ,my nephew's have black girfriends and couple if my nieces have black boyfriend's, every family party birthday holidays etc we are all together,have many friends Korean white and black,one of two of my closest friends growing up is black I was in his house and went on family vacations with his family and cousins growing up, I know alot if black poeple who listen to classic rock down to country,
Lucky.....there is no such thing as Black Irish , who is filling your head with such nonsense,
So if your parents were Chinese and Black , you cannot be both or either one , you are a mixed race person, of neither Chinese or African. You are mixed race, get over it.
Lol
reely?:) he hee
So sorry to offend you. When I took the ignorant video, it was part of an Irish setting and I am Northern Irish. It wasn`t meant to be an accurate account on Wikipedia.It was an eye catching headline.Whether the world can tell the difference between jigging and reeling I wouldn`t imagine.The black guy seemed to be enjoying himself and that is all that matters, but if you are offended I apologize .
@@themusakman1 You don’t say the black! You are a fuuking racist!
that's called tap dancing
Youse do know kilts are a Scottish thing not Irish, we may be both Celtic nations but it doesn’t mean we got the same shit.
No surprise. There are Black Irish people.
this guy is great! irish dancing needs some new ideas.......and tap dance apparently came frm black people trying irish dance in the states back in the day
Except Africans do a similar dance in South Africa wearing Wellington boots. I saw it at the 1964 World's Fair.
Conor o'mara Tap dancing came from Africans dancing what's called "juba" dancing displayed on the European ships that transported enslaved African people.
It’s a fair combination- Irish know what it’s like to be hated - at least for their religion and brogue - but nothing more than that were they guilty of.
Ireland has a love for blacks since both were treated poorly.. We were also used as slaves and were forced to work on plantations in the past and we also went through one of the worst/ changing moments of the times during the sixty's we love them and are always welcome to ireland
Lmao
Though this man is quite agile with his legs and even his body, I would not call what he is doing "Irish Dancing". Best example of great Irish Dancing is Morgan Bullock's amazing very controlled body posture when she dances, just as Irish Dancing should be. I cannot stop watching her art and technique. She looks like her legs are twice their length; what a beautiful dancer she is! This guy's body is way too loose (watch his arms!) to be called Irish Dancing. Sorry. He is just dancing and the main thing: he is enjoying himself, which is the main idea on such a ceilidh.
Even I see it cant do it right this looks so foolish
That's the got off child support dance.
Love thy neighbour, you will feel better, honestly. Who is my brother? I accept that dancer as my brother and although his dancing is different from what I know I can see his heart is in the right place.
That's not true Irish dancing. The bottom of his shoes are shiny but true Irish shoes are black on the bottom. The steps aren't even true Irish dance steps. Yes it may look like Irish but it's not true authentic steps.
of course you are right. That week was a celebration of all things Irish.He probably thought it was and I guess I wasnt going to pull him aside and give him a hard time...He was enjoyable to watch for sure.
That looks like sean nos, another form of Irish step that has more limited exposure than the more widely-known type popularized by Riverdance. Good for him!
That is true " sean nós " dancing not step-dancing, set dancing or " River-dancing " so called authentic steps are the equivalent of Ballet compared to the original Russian Folk-Dancing it is based on, Cómhaltas Ceóltóirí na hÉireann try their best to stultify traditional music, singing and dance by only accepting what they decide is traditional, but sure what would you expect from an organisation whose President doesn't play music, sing or dance...... sean nós is the real thing not expensive costumes with " celtic designs" fake tan and shoes with shiny bottoms LOL and traditional shoes were usually bare feet or hobnailed work boots not fancy shiny patent leather, jayzuz most people had no arse in their trousers but could still do sean nós !
It's sean-nós dancing, the predecessor to modern Irish dance.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean-n%C3%B3s_dance
Steps are legit and authentic and older than feis style dance.
Sen Crew I agree but he loves the music and it would take very little for him to learn Irish dancing. His heart is in the right place and it behoves us all to make him feel welcome
Go home black
