Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 бер 2012
- A visual breakdown and specification for the Siege of Ennis dance. 8 people in two rows, at least, and additional lines can be added to make this dance progressive. Video'ed with the help of some of the dancers from the Celtic Arts Center in North Hollywood, CA (Joe, Danae, Lynette, Jeff, Ginger, Thea, Marla, & Becky). Free Celtic dance, language, and seisun every Monday night. Video brought to you by www.ceiliandcraic.com.
Many years ago, I dated an Irish girl who took me to a club in New York City where they played this. The dancers joined hands and whirled around very fast until centrifugal force split one couple in half and they knocked down two other couples. Then things got hazy. People broke chairs over other peoples' heads and sirens sounded in the distance. I wanted to leave but my date said "It's just beginnin to get fun"
You are a liar
Sounds like a keeper
I used to love when we would do this at weddings and in dance halls the whole floor would be packed great fun. Don’t see it now
Thumbs up 👍 Great to see the style dancing good video
loved the music! Bust especially LOVED the text, breaking down the dance!!! Thank you :)
Going to a wedding "down the country" in August and I know full well at some point the bloody "Siege of Ennis" will be played (which is usually my cue to run to the bar/toilet). Being a Jackeen I'm determined to learn the steps and shock my long-term culchie partner by knowing what I'm supposed to do. This video has been very helpful so thanks a lot to you strange bunch of dancing young people!
Maybe reflect on the tiny place you live in, smallest capital in the EU and quarter of the size of Manchester. I expect you think it's the great "big smoke" on par with London and LA. Ah..so naive.
Fair play to ya T Ryan...did you get on alright amonst the Wildlings?! Never mind that other wet blanket,I'm sure you know well where the Real Capital is ;-)
Hi I learnt to dance the Siege of Ennis here thank you for showing us how.
Cheers ladies & Gents, I need to learn this form of dance for a short film. Helps a lot.
I got to do this in Ireland at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It was so much fun!

I remember dancing to this when l was 6 great crac need more of this social kind of dancing.
I love this dance. I am afraid my dancing days are past. I get out there and in a few minds I am out of breath and have to sit down. Very sad to me as I just love to dance. Will be fun to watch.

I am confused. In this video, it is a reel. But I know Siege of Ennis as jig dance with rising step.
you're right, this is wrong x
no it sahoulkd be in 2/4a polka check out the original tune if you dance it to a jig you cannot do the 7 steps proper;ly

RSDG Pipe Major 1st Class Geoffrey N. Stiùbhart if your talking about Irish culture....wearing skirts on men isn't a culture
That one chick REALLY needs to shave her chin whiskers ;^)
This is the incorrect music guys!
