How These 7 Irish Lads Went Viral With Their Dance Videos - The Tradition of Riverdance
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 бер 2021
- Cairde is a dance group that exemplifies Irish dance. As early as several thousand years ago the druids - high priests of the Celts - were said to have performed ritual group dances accompanied with music. This is possibly the root of the folk dances that later developed in Ireland to become part of the island's cultural heritage. However, Cairde take a less traditional approach to Irish dance, aiming to give it a fresh image. These young men from Ireland have already received millions of clicks on their TikTok dance videos.

Those might be the seven most Irish names I've heard in a long time.
My thoughts exactly hahha
😂😂😂 also my thoughts
My thoughts exactly.
Haahaaa - yep!
Love these guys! 🌈☘😊
Love that the younger generations are keeping this dance alive with a modern twist.
The twist is that they have proper dentures
@@scherezade9579 this makes no sense whatsoever
@@niamc2301 Makes perfect sense.
@@DemanaJaire explain then
@@DemanaJaire I don't understand either
My grandpa emigrated from Belfast to Canada and he used to dance like this in our kitchen. And he played the spoons too. It was so cool
LOL, so that is why I can play the spoons, 100% Irish Grandparents, did dance, I knew why, in every St. Patty's day parade in San Francisco! But when my Pa gave a set of spoons hooked together to learn how to make music, I thought OK, for you, I will play, used to get so embarrassed when a family gatherings he hand me some spoons and asked to play!, Thats a talent I have kept to myself till now lol, I thought it was a quirk, like his songs that were actually stories, like O Zipcoon(not sure of the spelling) ..there once was a man with a double chin, who could performed his skills on a violin ..... you get my drift I am sure LOL💚☘💚
My great grandfather entered thru Mobile Alabama. Unfortunately the docks burned down so there's no 'proof' of the process. On the other hand, my German side entered thru Canada.1846.😎
That's fantastic to read, all of your comments
Fabulous Darling! I love it! 👍🍒😁
nah m8 Belfast is the UK they do not do anything related to Ireland
So practical: take your own dance floor with you and you can dance where ever you want to.
When I was taking piano lessons and guitar lessons, I realized which one was portable and then which one I continued to pursue.
As a ballet dancer, I need something like that 🤣
That’s something used in flamenco for thousands pf years tho….
So nice to see respectable young lads with values and doing amazing Irish dancing. I wish you every success.
Exactly ..are any single haha
I could watch all day, I love Ireland, I've lived in Ireland it's beautiful 🍀🇮🇪❤️
I wish to see this dance band in Moscow. We're having Irish week here and it's a shame they aren't here!
@@AnnaIsHere Irish * begins with a capital
@@judylloyd7901 thanks, edited.
Stephen is my first cousin. Very proud
You should be....❤️
Would you ask Stephen if they would consider dancing to 'Celtic Stomp' by Laf..?? Have a listen Owen see what you think
You should be!
I'm from the USA and I'm black as well. We love, love Irish dancing. These young men are so well spoken and sweet. I wish them tons of success!
They did a sort of 'Duelling Banjos' in one of the Riverdance shows between a pair of Irish guys and a pair of black guys.
It was really interesting the contrast between the stiffness of the Irish and the relaxed style of the black guys.
Then they reversed styles. I think the black guys won by a wee bit. I'm Irish by the way.
Just curious which part of the US are u talking about!
Why do Americans announce what colour they are? It's weird to anyone outside of America.
@@OddboxLife I thought that too, perhaps it’s a cultural thing. It’s like me saying I’m 61 year old woman who had a mixed race father but I look white. It’s meaningless to me, I haven’t cared for years
@@OddboxLife no its not weird, specially in a country like the uk where any foreigner is highly susceptible to harassment based on their origin, yourube is FULL of videos of bad dentured brits with red irritated skins harassing brasilians, latinos, indians and so on for speaking their language on the phone or simply for being there. Dont paint america as what you are and way more than them
they are they type of lads that make me proud to be Irish. they are amazing. I hope after covid restrictions they can tour the world and have amazing success. they deserve it. can't wait to watch more of their amazing foot work
So you're just gonna sit back and wait for the tyrants to give you your freedom back?
Another one convinced there is a real virus haha u will be soon seeing whats really going on. If u think. U ll go back to normal think again. This is the biggest scam!
@@bradj6000 exactly, we fight, like the men before us, we fight
The restrictions will never be lifted without revolution
Good luck guys, cant wait to see you in the U.S.
It takes them 15 years to dance like that and me just 8 pints of Guinness
😂😂😂
LOL
😂👍
I thought this dance look somewhat familiar. Even Mexican dancers have similar style ua-cam.com/video/4V_7GRLS-EY/v-deo.html
🤣🤣🤣 brilliant!!
When Riverdance took the world by storm during Eurovision in Ireland I fell for it, hook, line and sinker. The Irish music that was at the heart of it is irresistible. This is taking it to a new level by showing that contemporary music can be used as well with Irish Dancing.
Yes, that was the first time I saw it! It was so amazing! I have no english words enough to express how enthusiastic I was!
It is definitely contagious. I have some Irish ancestry (as does half the world, it seems), and was proud when Riverdance came out. I had friends at the time who were a bit weird and tried to put it down. Probably because they can't do it, or feel the music for that matter! 🌵💗🍀🍀
Will always love Riverdance, too! 💜
I saw Riverdance on stage when I was about 10. I'm in my mid 30s now and it's still my favorite show I've ever see on stage. The combination of the dance and that music really hits me in a certain way. I imagine anyone who has ever made fun of it has never seen the show. It's so beautiful.
My favourite show also Beyond
It’s so nice to see young people investing in good wholesome pursuits ,and dance being one of them.
And all that while having proper dentures ❤️
Wholesome? 7 wildly effeminate lads all living in one house. lol
Can I be irshish if I’m actually a USA citizen born in Virginia
Well done Lads. God loves the Irish ☘️🇮🇪.
I swear God was part Irish and part Welsh ha ha
@@toryalexander what do you mean
@@danielg1680 John Mulvihill said that God loves the Irish. I simply said that God is part Irish and part Welsh. I'm Irish and Welsh. And think God is proud to be Irish and Welsh..
@@toryalexander is God proud to be French as well 🇨🇵?
Probably!
I'm always awed by Irish culture. The language, the songs, the dance. So glad the newer generations are doing what they can to help keep the culture alive
Lies again? Male Dance HDB
If they change it so much then it's not Irish. It's transforming into American Trash. I mean the costumes? Nothing Celtic about them.
How could they be so talented and cute at the same time?
I love the Irish! So happy to see a group of young men cherishing their culture :)
So proud...Irish from NEW ZEALAND..😁
Hi my Irish friends.im polish living here in mayo for 13 yars. What u do it's amazing but please don't give up the traditional music it's so unique. Love it. All the best. Regards 😊🤗😘
Fantastic to see these young men keeping Irish dance alive - well done guys! :D
Just brilliant .... thank you so much Pete
Oh I like them all! I’m married to an Irishman! So, I may be a bit bias. But I tell ya, they have some dreamy eyes! And of course the dancing is outta this world amazing! I could watch all day. I wish these dear friends find all they desire with their dancing!!!
❤️💜💚
Much love and appreciation for their hard work. Absolutely loved how disciplined and well-mannered they are.
And proper dentured
The black haired guy looks like young John Travolta who was also a great dancer.
I was thinking the EXACT SAME THING. Carbon copy of young John Travolta.
Wow I can’t unsee the similarity now- it’s uncanny.
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it!!!! 😮😮
EXACTLY! I just thought of Greased Lightning when I saw him.
Blue eyes black hair and handsome!
Lovely to see lads. Nice to hear music moved on.
Original irish will stay for ever. Thank you for sharing. north shropshire England (O'Driscoll County Cork)
Just love how these 7 young men bring such energy to their music.
Since I first saw Riverdance many years ago I've been intrigued and hooked on the music, rhythm and obviously the technical skills involved in the dance.
These young men are putting their own spin on it and rejuvenating or updating their music tastes.
WELL DONE 👍🌻
I'm half Italian and half Irish!I love you guys!! I love the traditional dances.
Aren’t they a bunch of cuties! Love their masterful Irish dance style 🕊
GOD bring me here (1999) I was thinking: OK few months and I back to my country (Italy). I'm still here. In Galway: The best City in Europe ( may-be the World). GOD Bless Ireland & the Irish:
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

They all dance beautifully and are such handsome young men. Their talent is a gift and a blessing from God, who loves the Irish! Surely such a lovely home in such a lovely place near the sea inspired them daily. Wishing them every good thing! ☘️🇮🇪☘️
I’m a grandmother from Australia. These lads bring such a smile to my face and are so uplifting to watch.Keep up the hard work and don’t let success change who you are.
Greetings to the Down Under Grandmas! ❤️
Brilliant guys Loved it. Love from Belfast on the island of Ireland.🇮🇪
Always one. 🙄
THEY ARE FANTASTIC !!!!!
Absolutely wonderful.. Thank You for keeping Irish dancing alive..never let it die ☘️ 🇮🇪.
From Australia ... and I just found you online !! I hope to see you in a show somewhere .. some time ... either in Ireland or touring Australia. I've visited Ireland (home of ancestors) several times and I'm certainly anxious to get back there when the current world situation turns around. Well done to Cairde !
Everyone loves the IRISH😂😂😂😂I MARRIED ONE 😍😍😍😍😍
Lucky.......
Here they are! Lovely, red-haired Irish boys! How I love your culture and traditions🍀❤️ My American friend has Irish roots - a wonderful, simple, kind person! Tom, I love you so much! You are the best!😘
The sound of the beats they make is so satisfying to the ear
Fantastic guys from Australia . I myself have Irish blood and love everything your doing All the best for a great future for life all. Love Irish dancing but love your dancing adding to Irish dance culture even better from other major group I have seen. Your part Irish Austrian Louise
O M G. FABULOUS, what more can i add to that. Such talented young men you all are, i wish you all the very best for the future.👍From geordieland newcastle upon tyne.
They must have powerful leg muscles...their jumps appear to hover momentarily...Irish dance is mesmerizing.
Well done 👏 lads this needs to go world wide 👏
Bravo, it is so good to see you blending tradition with contemporary, keeping "Irish Dance" alive. When you can begin to travel, please come to Montana, USA....... You are fantastic dancers!
Just love Irish dance. You young men are an such inspiration, so energetic, ambitious, full of life and purpose, honouring your heritage. What pride and joy for your families and nation. Blessings and best of luck from Jerusalem, Israel!!
Oh God, I love them... I'm of Irish, Welsh and English ancestry. They all made their way here mid to late 19th century. They were all hard working as Australia back then was hell. I'm proud Anglo Celtic. And these boys just make me beam. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
This is Irish☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ Nothing Celtic about it.
@@TheWrensHouse
"This is Irish☘☘☘☘☘☘ Nothing Celtic about it"?
Silly claim, which is close to denial of history and heritage.
The Irish are Insular Celts.
Way to go lads! You've got a great future ahead! You're the faces of Irish culture. Each of your names and features are the "map of Ireland" as the saying goes. Glad to see you named yourselves after the Irish word for friends and glad you explained it those that aren't familiar with the Irish language. Maith sibh!
If they represent the uk they may be misleading since they all have proper dentures…….
The face of irish culture is DeeBeeGeek 🤐
When covid is over lots of people would probably buy a ticket to their shows
You’re making beautiful art available to the public! Thanks for keeping Irish dance alive and thriving! So exciting to watch. Thrilling energy.
This is so gorgeous ! I like that they’re making Irish dance relevant to other dances , etc ! It shows a level of 🇮🇪 pride that makes me smile ! Love these lads!!
Amazing dancers, lovely lads. I swear I can hear me little Grannie saying "which eejit put that lad on the edge of a feckin' cliff!" 🙄🤣
Taking it to a new level! Go guys! I could watch them dance all day!! ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely brilliant lads!! ☘️💚🇮🇪
Wishing these Irish lads lots of success My teenage grandsons absolutely love the music and dance
I'm a 57 year old old lady from the States and I just LOVE watching you and the Gardiner boys. Keep up the good work and I wish you all the best :)
Stay tuned! 😘
Dancing to Think about things at the end! LOL Excellent 👏👏👏
CONGRATS fellas! You're gorgeous, all of ya's. Best of luck for a smashing success.
Adore these young men and their talent is amazing! It makes me even more proud of my Irish heritage💕💕💕🙏🏼
You guys are such a amazing dancer..😍😍
I'm Iranian and I just fell in love with Irish dance. It's so beautiful.
My first time seeing them, great talent! I love Irish dancing!
I hadn't heard of them until now but you can bet I'll be following them from now on and eagerly waiting for videos until they can do live shows
Awesome. Keep the faith lads...God bless Ireland...
Love it! Love it, love it, love it! I love the Irish dancing, to put it mildly! I’ve danced, but never the Irish dance! It looks so hard! You guys make it look really easy! Thank you very much for bringing more joy into the world!
My grandkids Irish dance and you guys are way inspiring to them and their grandma!
WONDERFUL!!!!
LOVE IT, DON'T STOP!
(just be careful on those cliffs, they are sheer for a reason)
I'm from Mexico and I LOOOVE Irish dance. I wonder how much handsome you'd all look by wearing traditional costumes and incorporating some of the old traditional music. Kilts are awesome! Hopefully, you'll consider doing at least a few videos with the traditional costumes/music soon.
Just to let you know that kilts are Scottish not Irish. They are beautiful though.
It does the heart grand to see such incredible talent. Wishing you all the best of everything in your future, lads.
Doesn't it ! Made this Irish mammy alittle teary eyed.
@@silvergirl2847 ... Well keeping the eyes moist is good for them, lol.
Very satisfying to watch those young men 👌 👍 I'm sure they will be very successful, good luck to you 👍
They are ALL so cute!!! And they’re dancing just adds to it. Don’t get me started on the accent. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congrats, wishing you years of success!
Oh my Goodness! i love you guys already! I am African American I say that because its not many of us that you see in Irish dance classes such as I. Every since Michael Flatley and Jean Butler and Colin Dunne came on the scene in the early 90's I have wanted to learn so I started with taking tap dance in high school back in 1996 in which I learned the basics and some intermediate steps followed up by irish dance classes in Hawaii with 20 year veteran Irish Dance teacher Melanie Nance at jigthishawaii however, a misunderstanding between a student of hers and the Parent company in California led to Melanie giving up her position but she was phenomenal. I however only learned the 123's in softshoe but I gotta learn this before I die! LOL please I wanna eventually get into hard shoes and get faster like you guys. If you ever come to the Mississippi gulf coast I am game I am for real I know you guys are laughing but i am soooo serious I love the music, the flutes, Anuna and everything, great grandfather was Irish descent so yeah thanks for reading.
Anuna is incredible!!
Love your enthusiasm 🌺
I love looking this dance. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 Schleswig-Holstein 💋🌈😸😄
stunning just love Irish Dance
Yes, it's beautiful isn't it?! 💃🕺
@@dweuromaxx We went to see Riverdance a while ago and it was mesmerising.
These guys are AWESOME! Spread the Dance!
I’m always so torn with this. I love Irish dance but part of I love is the music and I’d be really sad to see that lost.
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Amazing guys congratulations,,!!! So proud of my Irish history. Stay well keep dancing love from the USA
Oh be still my beating heart! I've always loved Irish dance ❤❤❤❤
I watched Riverdance probably 100x when I was younger lol! (I checked the tape out from our little local library constantly, and finally got to see the show live once in the neighboring city. I was in heaven!)
.
My 3 yr old saw this and some of their tik tok videos while I was watching them and he loved it! He started tapping his feet as if he were dancing! ❤❤ perhaps a future dancer??😍
Love it! Wishing you each a successful career from Spicewood, TX - Hill Country!!! 💚
Good job boys! 'bout time Irish Dance kicks it up a notch!
Bring it on! I can't wait to see them!
When the world opens up, I plan to move from hot, dry, burnt, snake infested Australia to somewhere that isn't...like the Wild West Coast of Ireland. A small village near Galway sounds just right..looking forward to seeing these talented young men in action one day. Best wishes to them, and all who carry on the folk dance traditions of their lands. Love that modern twist.
You will not be disappointed beautiful part of Ireland.
Hope you're loaded. You'll need to be.
@@orosedobheathaabhaile Rosie - living in Ireland isn’t that expensive; we spent 2 years in Australia, as liveaboards on a yacht. Australian costs of living are not cheap. So why not move to Dingle (been the with the boat) ? It’s a gorgeous place !
@@Caramelle58 Go for it. It is a wonderful place.
Went to Ireland in 2019, absolutely amazing place. Beautiful people , music and culture. The accent is also to die for. Btw Newgrange is breathtaking, so underrated and older than Stonehenge. I am a bit over Australia as well, especially being in Victoria during Covid, good luck with the move . Well done to the lads they are the epitome of the Irish spirit.🍀🍀👏🇦🇺
Awesomeness!!!! Wish you all everything your hearts desire. This can go only one way... up, up, up!!
These boys are amazing.. who are the 18 idiots that did not like this.
They are the people who don't know what to do with the drunken sailor.
Up to 66 gobshites today.
@@user-pv7vc9kp9k Lol, good one. I love the song reference. Traditional Irish music is fantastic as is the Step Dancing. I hope these young men have their dream come true.
Broadway tapdancers
"...who are the 18 idiots that did not like this"?
The tone deaf, the misanthropic and the begrudgers; these you shall always have with you, as Jesus never got around to saying....
I absolutely love Irish dancing... awesome lads for sure!
Nice to see these young lads so well-versed in an artistic area of their culture.
Wow!!!!!! Just WOW!!!! MESMERISING! That footwork is more dainty and nimble than a spider’s!
I am so thrilled. This is what the world needs. New dancers with a fresh ideas. From what I have seen I can’t wait to see more. I wish them the best but something tells me they are already there. Mian is fearr
Very very beautiful people and beautiful traditional cultures with great spirits. My respect and best wishes to you all from Shillong Meghalaya.
I'm amazed!
Have you had your coffee already? Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines!
Irish lass from South Dakota. Awesome lads finding great exercises but adding dance. The scenery is so amazing and one day I hope to visit. God Bless the world.
Adding that the class's name is Genevieve. Malin is my better half!
I Love your work. Congratulations and Thank you for sharing this beautiful ART. I am from Brazil, RJ.❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🤗👏👏👏👏😍😍😍

Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊😊😊
I was born and breed in Ireland 🥰🥰
Isn't it lovely to be able to say that?
*bred
Good for you all! You’re so talented, and I love watching you dance!
Glad you enjoy it!
I had Riverdance on VHS when I was a kid and to this day it remains one of my most favorite shows and treasured memories. I makes me so happy to see these young men keeping their culture alive and bringing these amazing dance traditions to the modern age!
Amazing!! That all of you are so well trained...AND that you have all figured how to cooperatively live together is WONDERFUL! I wish you lots of well deserved success in y our future endeavors! WELL DONE!
Brilliant lads!! Beautiful dancers!!
Very proud to be Irish!
Good luck lads, from Claddagh Association of Irish Dance, Manchester. A fabulous format and we hope you will be very successful and wear our many a pair of heavies.
Great dancing !! Greets from Germany 🇩🇪 love this.
Lots of McDreamy guys having a good time. Good they already got an agent. They're certainly gonna go places once the current pandemic is neutralized. ☘️
God Bless these young men and their Amazing talent! Thoroughly enjoyed watching the dance! Please come to Florida! Blessings always!
Wow ....they not only dancing but preserving their beautiful culture as well..... keep it up.... God bless you
That one lad has an incredible voice, so deep and sonorous. wow.
