12-year-old twins represent U.S. in World Irish Dancing Championships in Belfast, Ireland

[@ny8281]

So highly talented. 💕🌺 The little one is simply adorable.

[@gems8167]

Beautiful! Represent us well! Americas roots are deep!

[@hannahk7765]

If anyone is curious, the girls danced yesterday (4/11/22). Lucy (red) placed 33rd and Lilly (pink) placed 48th!!! Amazing results!!

[@tavybukemlee]

As an Irish citizen, that was beyond perfect. Whoever trained those angels should be proud. Could not fault it, loved every second ❤

[@rarelyred4300]

would have been nice if the reporter talked to all the girls and not just the twins! Love Irish dancing!

[@lovelana3595]

Thought the same.

[@sstirling8816]

Yep, I thought it was rude to just focus on the two.

[@HungerGamesLover101]

Me too they should have been included as well

[@randomvintagefilm273]

The little girl is not concerned with the others, she is concentrating on holding her pose 😂😂😂

[@88pynogrl]

Wow! It looks so beautiful. They make it look so easy, and they are absolutely synchronized.👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸♥️

[@Annabeth1319]

Just love the energy and rhythm in this beautiful dance! Brilliant job😊🌺

[@jenniferw5095]

Great job ladies!! Love Irish dance. 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕

[@jennymurphy8689]

Just watched this video, I live in 🇮🇪 beautiful and talented young ladies, dancing was amazing and flawless, brilliant

[@psychedforlife7176]

They remind me of little fairies!! So beautiful and fast!

[@molliehickey7821]

I’m from Ireland and I have done Irish dancing for 12 years and I love it

[@antm64]

I so appreciate the beautiful skills of these dancers! On the other hand, over the years, the hair pieces and costumes have become way too much. I remember when "bouncy" hair accentuated the movements of the dance. These hair pieces/wigs are too stylized. Still, spectacular dancing! Good luck to the twins!

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

I love the huge hairdos personally; the bigger the better!

[@donnatritz7865]

I agree about the hair. I had an aerobics instructor who had been an Irish step dancer for most of her life & she had short (carrot-red) hair

[@tuc1113]

The height of the wig on the little girl was way out of proportion to her tiny body, in my opinion.

[@soozie3202]

Silly like the silly beauty pageants.

[@letitiakearney2423]

Bring back the long flowing hair and the beautiful traditional costumes. Plus all the steps seem the same and so stiff. They’re ruining the beautiful style of Irish dancing.

[@24carrotgold8]

Great leg exercise! 🤗👍

[@kikiirishdancer]

I always see the littlest girl at all my Feis’s. She’s especially good for her age. Her shoes are always perfectly taped as well.

[@vetgmacatmomfl2055]

Great dancers. Good luck have fun!!!!

I saw the twins dance at a comp today !

[@kscptv]

Belfast is in Northern Ireland, UK. KARE 11 in Minneapolis. As a former Minnesotan TV reporter I thought it important to share this wee fact with you from Ireland.

[@w0wyourbun1]

Belfast is in the North of Ireland, island of Ireland.

[@coachcelestino9638]

Irish I could dance like them but with more traditional costumes!!!

[@wahyuniantonio2938]

Beautiful costumes 😄😄😄 so cute on them hahaha

[@saoirseclarnimhuiris7910]

Oh no, the wigs as well...not what is traditional at all. More like f*ckin come dancing outfits!

[@amandaallen9460]

Being Irish myself on my Maternal side and having had the chance to take some Irish dancing lessons in college, it's not easy

[@ellenmccormick9293]

I just don't get why they are all done up like little dolls. I did irish dancing as a child in the 60s and won prizes. We only wore black skirts and tops, black tights and our shoes. All those ridiculous costumes take away from the wonderful dancing

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

I think their giant hairdos look amazing!

[@alwilson3204]

It seems like most people, especially outside of Ireland, aren't aware of what their traditional dancing looks like and that's a real shame to me.

[@ellenmccormick9293]

[@juliefitzgerald6042]

Love the girls talent. Not sure why the camera person kept cutting off their heads and just showing their legs...they are young girls....stop.

[@SK-in7bh]

Awesome young ladies. However, the camera work was terrible. Completely lost the little one in her first round of solo.

[@choppersworld5094]

camera person is all over the place such A SHAME

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

Those giant hairdos look amazing!

[@saoirseclarnimhuiris7910]

They're wigs! That along with the make up, the bling even the dresses are not traditional at all... this isn't f*uckin strictly come shamrocks!

[@BlueEyes-0222]

Costumes and hair are really distracting.

[@Sean-jc6cu]

Stfu, it's part of the culture

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

I think the hair looks amazing

[@Wildfire.]

Well that's Irish step dance culture.

[@GaiaDanu]

@@Wildfire.American culture - not Irish.

[@Wildfire.]

@@GaiaDanu Irish step dancing, it's the style of dance in the video based off of traditional Irish dancing. It is now mostly a style of dance performed at competition or for entertainment, in the past few decades this has been the style of competition costume across the world including in Ireland.

[@tracytinker]

The wigs are ATROCIOUS! They should ban them. Not every Irish girl has ringletts and they need'nt need them. It's a conservitive tradition except competiton is known for the beautiful fabrics and embroidry. These COSTUMES may be beautiful but they cost thousands of dollars. Do you know the history of Ireland and how poor it was. It just doesn't seem realistic to the history of the art.

Don't like the wigs and these uniforms are a little over the top.

[@spiritwings4592]

These are children. They shouldn't have adult hairstyles. Let them be kids.

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

To paraphrase Peggy Hill, there are no child hairstyles or adult hairstyles, they're just hairstyles!
