From Wikipedia: Sean nós in Irish Gaelic means “old style”, and is applied to the dance form as well as sean-nós song. These forms of Irish dance and traditional Irish singing have been documented in Irish history and are still alive in parts of the Irish music scene today. Its “low to the ground” footwork, improvised steps, free movement of the arms, and an emphasis upon a “battering step”, which sounds out more loudly the accented beat of the music, characterize sean-nós dance. By its nature, it follows the music closely. It is traditionally a solo dance form. Sean-nós dancing is improvisational. Spontaneous expression is highly valued. The brush dance, a sean-nós dance, is performed with a brush or broom. There are many stories about the origins of this traditional dance: the women doing their daily housework would drop their brooms and break into dance as a welcome respite from their work; it was a friendly, competitive dance between men and women; it is also written that this dance was performed by the traveling people when they went from house to house selling their wares, including brooms. They would perform the dance to attract attention and make it easier to sell their goods.

What you dont realise is that... This was the original broom used when Cromwell had invaded. It is held in high regard for its ancient origins. In the hundreds of years this one artifact has been in use... It has been the object of awe & reverance. This very broom is soon to appear on "The Repair Shop" Where Jay & Will shall discuss the best way of ensuring its future for unborn generations. Without spoiling it integrity & ancient symbolism. Some of its history is shrouded in the mists of time... But documents exist to prove that the handle has previously been repaired or replaced many times . Due to being danced on. The history of the head is not so clear... It is thought that there have only been 5.... Although some so called experts maintain that during the "Great Broom drought" of 1756. The head was replaced with a "string mop " to enable the dance to take place in pubs where spitoons had to be hidden from the English.

@tortillasarenotbiceps76222 жыл бұрын
@Peacelily As if to imply oddity has no propensity to lift human spirits. Hence, they kept said traditional going long after it served its original functional purpose as an oddity commodity for entertainment value alone. Historic precedent bears no functionality beyond an initial exercising of an activity into an offing that requires no such function. Thus, where initial function is no longer required, then it is rendered but an indulgence thereupon. Not that it's wrong mind you, rather just making a point. It is actually quite entertaining. Plus I was more referring to the style and that they opt to not implement the arms they were born with while dancing around an inanimate broom. That's odd no matter who is doing the viewing. 😝Michael Flatley will surely punch me in my mouth if ever we meet. 🤪
