Lovely to see two girls without wigs. 🥰for a change. The way it used to be when I was dancing.

[@colleenmccracken828]

[@nospoonfulofmayonnaiseforme]

Feb 12, 2022: Lovely! So talented...God bless them. *For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son {Jesus} into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17

[@adriangudino3412]

How did I even get here I was watching cat videos

[@xvsupremacy7190]

pickle ?

[@mjw12345]

Beautiful! But Jesus Christ - spare us the wigs. Then, the garish, wholly un-Irish costumes some of the dancers. Even if you didn't care for Riverdance, their costumes were simple, lovely. Anyway, congrats. Maintaining a tradition 2nd, 3rd generations or more, 12,000 miles away is immense credit.

[@dylandonegan7279]

sbranagh1 U are right

[@ramywiles]

The costumes in Riverdance were show costumes, not competition costumes, and the wigs are a godsend for those of us whose hair can't hold a curl to save its life. What we wear now are evolutions of tradition, not complete departures from it.

[@erinelizabeth3254]

sbranagh1 we wear wigs because that's what we choose

[@juliettecopeland1604]

preach

[@koobie83]

ramywiles my hair can't hold a curl either...never. Wait.. the only hairdresser who got a curl in my hair to hold was an Irish one. She knew Irish hair! Haha

[@marieoconnell580]

Way too much high kicking and prancing around which are not Irish dance steps......

[@erinnorthrup8580]

Then what is

[@xvsupremacy7190]

Riverdance was the spirit of Irish dancing , stick that chest out , and tuck those hands in , was part and parcel of Irish ☘️ dancing in pubs when the Military was passing by looking through the pub windows , they couldn’t see them Irish ☘️ dancing 😜

[@AnyaKarpenko]

Это ирладский военый танец, почему вы решили , там должны учасвовать бабы.Мне это Русском понятно.
