20-Year-Old Irish Step Dancer Is a TikTok Star

She’s the Irish stepdancer who’s becoming a social media sensation. 20-year-old Morgan Bullock is a rarity in the world of Irish dance, which has long been largely white-dominated. Bullock, who lives in Richmond, Virginia, showed us some moves, which she often sets to hip-hop music. One video has over a million views on TikTok, and caught the attention of the former Irish Prime Minister, who invited her to St. Patrick’s Day 2021. Popular show “Riverdance” also invited her to join them on tour. #InsideEdition

Black people can have Irish ancestry as well. You cannot tell a person’s background just by their appearance.

[@imback2192]

Wow

[@official_surge]

Eh

[@imback2192]

Lol i dint even know what im saying

[@venkatesan6547]

Well you don't really have to have Irish ancestry to become an Irish dancer but okay

Lol I'll remember this next time we see a white person with dreads

[@asdfghjkl3003]

I'm glad they put irish dancer in the title instead of black Irish dancer.

[@user-by3ci1po9j]

Irish dancing is part of Irish

[@ravenghostly1472]

She is a black American who has appropriated a white Irish cultures dance. We people of color scream all the time when we think the whites stole from us. So we have no right to steal from whites.

[@Dan-zc7ut]

Raven Ghostly she hardly is a appropriating if she does it very well. If she was mocking it then it would be different

[@asdfghjkl3003]

@@ravenghostly1472 She didn't appropriate because she didn't remame the dance or claim that she owned it. She always acknowledged the fact that it was an Irish dance.

[@LyonzDen]

Until you watch the video and she brings race into it within 15 seconds

[@AmbblyPuff]

The fact that Riverdance themselves asked her to be part of the show is a once in a lifetime opportunity, I hope she takes it, she deserves it.
