Not to be a purist (I’m not even Irish) but I so prefer this over the more modern arm-flailing version. The power lies in the strict silhouette and letting the feet do the talking.
I performed like this for years at fairs and festivals like this - such a blast with often the treat of rain too! We were always checking in with the stage managers about getting on before the deluge. Saint Patrick’s Day was always dodgy 😂☘️🌧☔️🌫 Sláinte!
I do not have anything descendant of Irish. But when I hear this song and dance, I feel a Irish. This song raises the souls of a beautiful and great people !! Thank you!!
I've got Irish genes from both parents to some extent or other (my dad's family all Irish) so maybe that's why I love the dancing and the music both. Having said that, I much enjoy Appalacian clog dancing (northern English origins I believe)...and even now Electro-Shuffle! Lol! (despite approaching 70 I occasionally try to do the 'running man' if nobody is looking!).
I may be half-Irish (both grandmothers were of Irish descent), but that does not mean I'm anywhere near coordinated enough to try Irish step dancing. Much like you, though, I can appreciate the music and the accompanying dance.
Love love love their dance...hope they ar ;pleasant whenI get there, as all of Europe has been and most of Asia except Hong Kong...too hurried to answer a tourist.
Same thing happens when people are walking or running together, so why is it odd to you that it happens when they're dancing????? Bizarre thought process!

Hi Allie, Before reading your post, I only slightly knew the components of a traditional Irish jig. I learned that it could be a solo or group dance! I also didn't know that there are five different types of this dance depending on the choreography. From the video, I was able to observe that the dancing is very focused on footwork and synchronization. Additionally, the dress is typically coordinated. The dancing also follows the beat of the music and even adds to it. I can specifically compare this to tap dancing or African step dancing. Great post! Caitlyn
It is good to see irish male dancers. I rarely see any of them dancing and wearing kilts any more. With pride My ancestors had worn kilts in the military to fight ww1 and ww2 and more.
Dawash Kilts were never popular in ireland.Irish nationalists did wear them for a time,but it never became popular to any extent. As regards british regiments they don't count at all and besides even there its only the pipebands that wear the kilt.
Because Zumba is very low to no impact. Very few people beyond the age of 30 can lift themselves high enough off the floor to execute these moves, and then not hurt when they slam back down onto their feet. Just in case you're not aware of it, when a person runs, the impact of each downward step is the equivalent of 12 times one's body weight landing on each foot---that is, if a person weighs 120 pounds, then she's slamming 1,440 pounds of pressure back down on each foot and ankle as it hits the ground. This kind of dancing has nearly the same kind of pressure, and very few who aren't 100% fit can handle that.
All the dancers in world: you need some comfy clothes that won’t retard your movement or very specific type of a costume that fits the dance style. The Irish man: _suit and give no shi_
You should have cleaned your mouth of your own foul excrement first. Riverdance is great....too bad you don't have the correct discernment to recognize that.
Agree on the tie 🤣 and that its not really traditional, traditionally there was a lot less travelling, dancing was done in a small area and danced close to the ground, a reflection of the ceili houses they would have danced in, imagine a small cottage with a room full of locals. This is more a style post 1950, but pre riverdance id say
I want ti learn these dances for the Irish people that were banned for dancing speaking our languages and dances and wear our traditional clothing...learning more and more about my Northern Ireland ancestors and roots brings me closer to them i feel like
@@geraldneary1948 dont call a person you don't know a troll because there opinion differs from yours. Riverdance was a show', a hybrid form of tap, flamenco some Irish and other bits and pieces . It had its place in the teather and there it should have stayed but sadly parts of it are creeping into a dance tradition that's hundreds of years old . It's become Americanised pop where shirley temple lookalikes run about in outrageous costumes trying to kick themselves in the face while exposing all they've got on stage. Time to call stop before the pedos move in in the action .
The modern Americanised version is more of an energetic tap dance. Traditional Irish dance is graceful, firm, and has a kind of floating quality to it. Understated, not extravagant.
They dance with their arms straight down so they can rest them , because after they are done dancing they are going to be using them a lot..for drinking

Whats the arm flailing version ?
@@dubmait The neo-Irish dancing that incorporates aem movements, period.
@@SandySass do you mean when they mix this dancing with modern dance ???
@@dubmait The kind made popular in shows like Lord of The Dance, etc. Traditional steps, but the arms are incorporated.
@@SandySass ay ok so you think riverdance and lord of the dance are yoo modern. Grand thats fine
This is Irish dancing at its very best.
Honestly, Irish dance doesn’t get better than this. Rhythm and musicality for days!!
Irish dance certainly produces powerful legs...amazing work out and dedication to a powerful and disciplined form of dance.
Great stuff! I love seeing traditional dancing wherever in the world it's being kept up.

They have unbelievable rythm skills😍
Excellent, properly done to perfection. This is real Irish dance.

Irish dancing is like golf: You only need to know a bit to get very enthusiastic about doing it.
I may be half-Irish (both grandmothers were of Irish descent), but that does not mean I'm anywhere near coordinated enough to try Irish step dancing. Much like you, though, I can appreciate the music and the accompanying dance.
In an alternate universe where I somehow magically manage to be with someone this is the way I want my wedding dance to be haha.
Nah, it looks like too much energy to spend. :P
Me: Can we please PLEASE just FOCUS?
My last two brain cells:
Love love love their dance...hope they ar ;pleasant whenI get there, as all of Europe has been and most of Asia except Hong Kong...too hurried to answer a tourist.
The tune is "The Silver Spear" Horslips did a brilliant version on their album "The Táin"
Can we just recognize how that despite being different weights and heights, their feet hit the floor at the same time?

Wow!
So lovely ❤❤❤❤🍀🍀🍀🍀
I am imagining the happiness of the downstairs neighbours
Beautiful I love my tradition 🎼🩸
Beautiful!!
Je ne comprendrais jamais les gens qui n'aiment pas et qui mettent un pouce en bas ...Pourquoi regardent ils alors ?
Lovely
I would have love to be sitting next to the stage watching and admiring these dancers, while having my Guinness……….
Beautiful ❤
so this is where this dance come from lol!
Wow! Lovely
They are really good.
Fookin brilliant.
I don't know how this hasn't replaced Zumba. I could easily burn 1000 calories in 10 minutes.

Hermosa danza.
amazing
Its very nice but looks really difficult
Awesome!
awesome dancing!

The Irish man: _suit and give no shi_
He didn't wear a "suit;" he wore a shirt and tie. HUGE difference.
Cool
Excellent example of social distancing and having fun at the same time
Appalachian people carried on with it in their own style
douglas mccullough thank you for acknowledging the Irish connection have a look at Sean no’s and you will see it’s the same.
@@TheWrensHouse the Sean nos dancers are the weakest part of Irish dance and are mostly rubbish.
I came here to clean my eyes of the Riverdance shit!😂

Doing the same with my welsh heritage, I’ve started learning welsh and learning as much as I can about the culture
My little brother wants me to do this dance and put it in his PowerPoint of Ireland
Beautiful! Used to show my newly-adopted-from-China son what the word 'jig' means. A refreshing antidote to 'Riverdance'. Thanks!
Nothing wrong with river dance,,troll.

Crap, my teacher linked me this site for homework...
So, how was the homework from 2 years ago lad?

Sooooo guys I'm from Burundi east Africa I want to ask is there diferences between irland and Scotland dance
Scottish people use their arms more.
well i dont know but as a Greek i always fell close to the Irish...we have something in common...maybe a bit of crazyness .
Me and Scott might! Who was Luther and Dalray not to ask for a dance!!
If you man can't tap then he's not the one
♥️♥️♥️♥️🇲🇦🇨🇮♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
impresionantes bailarines, que pena que este baile no use los brazos
It allows to focus on the stellar footwork - besides, see and admire all that's happening higher up! and the expressions of the dancers.
Please remember to Write the title: “Irish STEP dancing” cuz Irish dance and Irish step dancing is not he same
What is the difference?
@@leithagrover9116 Irish dance includes many styles - Irish step dancing (feis style and festival style), sean-nos dancing, set dancing, ceili...
