That looks very fun. They everybody looks really happy. I like the girls skirts . They are very pretty. Tradition and culture are beautiful things . ❤️🙂👍🏻
I see English, Scottish, Irish, and German. I thinks it's a conglomeration of the different ethnic groups that settled the west. I wouldn't be surprised if there were Scandinavian influences as well. I don't know enough about Scandinavian dance to see it though.
For those curious, here is the full track list of songs 0:11 Oh Susanna! 1:49 Yellow Rose of Texas 2:21 She'll Be Comin Around The Mountain 3:47 Cripple Creek 4:58 The Kesh Jig 6:17 Old Joe Clark 7:52 Boil Them Cabbage Down
from here in Adelaide, Sth Australia it's just great to see enthusiastic young Americans having a terrific time. As a 71 yr old I clearly remember my parents Square Dancing here in the early 50's.
went to a second hand store in Libby (I love you) and bought a skirt and blouse. thought it ad look nice until later someone commented on my train tour "going to the dance" via which I found out I had bought an outfit for square dance from the 60. I was informed that schools still teach square dance. very nice. our children are taught to run after a ball and kick it. barmy. to cooperate together is Far more commendable.
Just as we have called eastern Appalachian dancing, cued contra dance, clogging, and hoedown this side of the Mississippi (TN).....(most involving lines, circles, and hand work as well as heavy duty exercise) there is western hoedown and traditional circle and reel dancing, often involving clogging and arm lifts and likewise lots of energy. There is called square dance that is hoe down style with lots of repetition for couples in the formation. Idaho is a wonderful example of natural beauty, charming communities, and agricultural plots as far as the eye can see. Western square dancing we see now around the world is a composite of many of the activities used til now.
Memories of my elementary school days come flooding back watching this. I remember every year we did square dancing as part of our gym classes. Admittedly great exercise.
Wow! I've never seen that before! Beautiful. I was already impressed, and then the men helped the women literally take flight! That caught me by surprise. Beautiful and amazing. Thank you!
Esto se llama square dancing lo que quiere decir baile de cuadro. Es un baile tradicional o folclórico. Que bueno que te gustó! A mi me encantan todos los bailes latinos y este baile me hace orgullosa de mi cultura igual porque acá nos perdimos mucha de nuestra bonita cultura. Es una cosa casi extinta que hay que buscar para encontrarlo. Pero yo me acuerdo de niña que mis tías bailaban así pero de otro vestido más grande en rojo y blanco. 😊
totally Agree Diana, even the northern mexican cowboy and the southern unitedstatesian dress the same way. one way or another the cultures are merging, it's just a matter of keep them alive and enjoy them all, i.e. I love mariachi dancing but also american clogging!
Oh, that is wonderful and fantastic to look at and just lifts the mood! That such a thing still exists! A dance full of overflowing joie de vivre, cheerfulness und charm. That's how dancing has to be! In contrast, some disco is a sleeping compartment! ;-)
Damals in Erfurt waren diese Tänzerinnen und Tänzer in Höchstform.Ich hoffe auch das sie noch aktiv sind und viel Erfolg in den USA haben . Gott schütze Amerika ( vor allem Idaho).
But... You know what the Englishman did to become American? And who worked for them to stay that "great'? If that isn't fucked up, I don't know what is.
Your "Quadrilha" came from Portugal where it was called the Quadrille and was famous throughout Europe between the 17th to the 19th Century. It actually first started in England but of course would become Influenced by other Countries as it travelled around and will have changed over the years.
It's all about politeness before touching another woman it is amazing how cultural was back then.... I love watching cultural dance it says so much about our history. Men were men and women were women
I do regular folk square dancing but, nothing that fancy. And I want to do it so bad!😭😭 this is gorgeous and and looks like so much fun! It reminds me a lot of the dancing on Seven Brides for Seven Brothers!
I keep coming back to this video. It is just so well coordinated. I do feel bad for the few slip ups where girls almost get dropped though. Also, 200th comment.
I used to be a morris dancer here in the UK when I was younger and it's really nice to be reminded of those times looking at this. I wonder if this evolved from morris dancing (which also has barn dances)
We Germans know the Square Dance, but seen it not so much live. When we think to America, we think to Western and Square Dance. That´s Americas Way of Life.
We know many of the elements in these dances in different towns here in germany, called " Volkstänze" /folkdance. Send you much love and thanks for your filming. 😘
caleidoscope patchamamalove Danke für den Kommentar. Die I R M E sind damals in Erfurt aufgetreten. Die waren in guter Form, nur die Bühne hätte größer sein müssen. Meiner Meinung nach ist das schon Square Dance. Ob die da noch in die Choreografie was anderes mit reingenommen haben ist schon möglich. Das ist künstlerische Freiheit.
@@Thuiringer 🙋♀️Hey 😊 mein Kommentar war absolut nicht kritisch im Sinne von entweder/ oder gemeint. So viele Menschen sind ja in den Jahrhunderten aus allen Ecken Deutschlands; Irlands; Schweden; Italien uvm. nach Amerika ausgewandert- sie brachten ja u. a. ihre Sprache; Dialekte; Speisen und auch ihre Musik & Tänze mit. Dies alles und viel, viel mehr Kulturgut flocht' sich ja in den großen Webteppich ein; der das heutige Amerika ausmacht. Mein Kommentar war absolut im Sinne von 🤗Verbundenheit 🤗 der Völker gemeint. Denn Musik; Tänze; Speisen sind ja universell. Sie gehören in Wahrheit niemand; sondern sind in meinem Begreifen universelles Gut der gesamten Menschheitsgeschichte. Also- auf das Tanzen von Tänzen in aller Welt aus allen Teilen der Welt! 😍 Universelle Grüße an alle 😘
@@caleidoscopepatchamamalove3082 Dass dein Kommentar nicht negativ gemeint war, ist schon klar. Aus meiner Familie sind auch einige wenige in den 30er Jahren in die USA ausgewandert und manche von deren Nachkommen leben noch dort(Illinois). Hoffentlich haben diese den selbstherrlichen Trump damals nicht gewählt. Hier in Deutschland sind wahrscheinlich die meisten Menschen Nachkommen von Einwanderern, welche vor hunderten von Jahren aus Osteuropa hier herkamen. Musik und Tanz werden immer an den jeweiligen Zeitgeist angepasst, die Künstler wollen ja Erfolg haben. Ein Freund sagte mir mal das bei Medien in Deutschland, Presse und Fernsehen der Marktwert der Künstler mit entscheidend ist, wer gefördert und ausgezeichnet wird.Grüße aus Thüringen.
@@Thuiringer Hallo Thuiringer, vielen Dank für die tollen Videos. Habe die anderen Videos gesehen, die Sie von der Gruppe hochgeladen haben und finde die Musik und die Tänze einfach klasse. Haben Sie noch mehr Videos von den IRME? Habe gesehen, dass Sie den Tanz mit den Tüchern der direkt nach dem SquareDance kam nicht hochgeladen haben. Danke und viele Grüße

@prxncessF xo I was born in Ireland, you imbecile- Corofin, County Clare. Moved to New York when I was seven. Where the fuck are you from? Who the fuck do you think you are? Giving *me* shit. And I never said anything about where it originated from, simply that I was proud to live here. And learn to spell- it's 'bred' not 'bread' (we aren't making toast here) and "16th Century" not "16 century". You're a child, a fucking child.
Hello everyone I am Anjali from India . We do this square dance in our school. It is such a beautiful dance but it has too many stunts . But it was good 😊
Ain't square dancing for all the people to dance and enjoy? I could be wrong but I've never seen a square dance band before. Anyways love your smash potatoes Idaho✌
8:02 since im mexican those steps and the women flowing their dresses out makes me remember mexican folk dances, i know it has nothing to do but i think both have european ancestry in this kind of dance
@@anna-if8fi that just shows your ignorance. Cuz A LOT of Americans DO openly practices their ancestors culture. Especially in the rural areas where I live. It hasn't died out here. our folk music and dancing is the same as yours (maybe a little different, but that just happens with time) this kind of culture/tradition have been thriving since its arrival to this country in the 1600s, and it's not going anywhere.
I am a square dance caller at a 'modern' square dance club where our members have an average age of about 60 - I'm going to show them this and suggest we try it LOL.
That looks very fun. They everybody looks really happy. I like the girls skirts . They are very pretty. Tradition and culture are beautiful things . ❤️🙂👍🏻
This is a style of square dancing which I have never seen before. I suppose that it is historical. It looks like a lot of fun.
visit my canel, many exotic activities from the Kalimantan Dayak tribe that you have never seen,
Bei uns tanzt man quadrille.
It looks English
I see English, Scottish, Irish, and German. I thinks it's a conglomeration of the different ethnic groups that settled the west. I wouldn't be surprised if there were Scandinavian influences as well. I don't know enough about Scandinavian dance to see it though.
Looks a lot like 19th century quadrille! Which makes sense since they have the same root
For those curious, here is the full track list of songs

This made me happy, thank you sir from America😊🙏
those are germans though
They're Americans performing in Germany
It is fun to watch folk dancing because there is a structure to it and people generally enjoy themselves. Good for you!
Imagine how much practice that would've taken. They are amazing. This is a little different from the square dancing I've seen.
Nah ive seen better
Very nice dancing, such a wonderful young Americans. I´m watching the clip over and over again.
Dances like a drunk drug addict nice eh?
Those are some pretty athletic moves. No wonder the dancers are so young.

Same I try to get people to dance with me but they don't know how 😢

You was looking up the song square dance by Eminem, then you ended up here!!!!!!!
Letting the days go by.
America has culture after all.
wesos de queso ikr I never knew they had a culture after stealing everything from every other culture
Like Quebec. It's mostly french influences, but with a mIx of many cultures, especially in Montreal.
wesos de queso well Texas used to be part of Mexico..... So idk.... look for northern Mexican folk dance and compare how similar they are.
totally Agree Diana, even the northern mexican cowboy and the southern unitedstatesian dress the same way. one way or another the cultures are merging, it's just a matter of keep them alive and enjoy them all, i.e. I love mariachi dancing but also american clogging!
Our culture is kinda basic compared to others, but then again the U.S is a new country compared to others.
What a beautiful display of European American Culture.
Cor! I certainly never seen a square dance like this one before! Especially when the ladies start swishing and swirling their skirts so energetically!
That was so cool and so well done. Brings back lots of great memories.
Wow I am Korean but I like this dance
Всегда восхищался их танцами. :)
Oh, that is wonderful and fantastic to look at and just lifts the mood! That such a thing still exists! A dance full of overflowing joie de vivre, cheerfulness und charm. That's how dancing has to be!

My favorite part is the men threatening each other with spoons
We call that "dinner time" where I'm from
so much joy.. so much happiness.. this world is not yet that fucked up..

Now it is
But... You know what the Englishman did to become American? And who worked for them to stay that "great'? If that isn't fucked up, I don't know what is.
This is great!! I love American dance! Wonderful job!!
Here in Brazil, we call it "Quadrilha", very popular in some states.
Your "Quadrilha" came from Portugal where it was called the Quadrille and was famous throughout Europe between the 17th to the 19th Century. It actually first started in England but of course would become Influenced by other Countries as it travelled around and will have changed over the years.

It is modern dance. Mixture of many elements different folklore and rock-and-roll. Only the music is authentic
Бережи Боже Україну.
This is different from the square dancing I do, I wish mine was like this!

I keep coming back to this video. It is just so well coordinated.
I do feel bad for the few slip ups where girls almost get dropped though.
Also, 200th comment.
