American tap was no doubt inspired by these and other traditional dances. However one difference is the shoes, tap shoes usually having looser “taps” (metal plates) than jig shoes.

So did mine.

Girl in trousers is doing step dancing which is popular in Cape Breton and the girl in red is doing a Scottish highland dance called "Irish Jig", also popular in Cape Breton.

@@mmbturtle5134 • Thanks for the clarification. I'm no dance expert so when KZbin starting pushing these to me I watch. The Scottish dances seem to be closer to the "reels" I learned in school but another commentor pooh-poohed the idea. So much to learn, so little time.😕

Zo denk ik ook

How you can tell is that Irish step dancing is done with the arms down to the sides. This is because the English had outlawed dancing to crush the Irish culture and spirit. But the logic was that if they weren't flinging their arms around the people could say they were simply walking funny.
