beginner irish dance moves

[@thedogisaneldritchgod491]

Now maybe I won't look like a dying fish on land anymore. I'll be a dying fish... with style! Thanks for the video!

[@staticrainbows2994]

I love Ireland because ppl there are so cool they have interesting music, cool dances, they have the best accents and much more. I found out im a part irish wich is cool

[@jaredlehosky5479]

Are you from America or Ireland? If you're not from Ireland, say you're Irish-American otherwise people think you're dumb. Trust me, we get tourists all the time saying that they're Irish, it's quite annoying.

[@IrishDanceIsFun]

Thank you!

[@violetstorm8517]

Im part irish and i love Irish dances but i never really understand how to do the dances, thank you for teaching me

[@candlemxi]

Thank you, very helpful❤

[@pinkmagicali]

I like the point one but for the one just before I keep moving backwards and almost crashed into the kitchen bench. I'm thinking practice is needed. Can we get another vid with some spoken explanation and some rhythmic step videos too? I like this, it's simple enough for raw beginners like me. 😊

[@IrishDanceIsFun]

When you're doing point hop backs, you'll want to make sure that when you're hopping your front foot to the back that you're not going anywhere. It sounds like you're travelling backwards in the air every time you hop. When you bring your foot back, you want to go straight up into the air, without leaping forward or backward (like you do when you jump rope). To get the sense of this, you can try this on a small door mat, making sure that you stay on the mat without touching the surrounding floor. I hope that helps a little!

[@janealexander8933]

I love this thank you I posted on FB and maybe some folks will try it with me!

[@MartinDarch]

We are going to try this with our cub scouts tomorrow wish us luck

[@IrishDanceIsFun]

Good luck! :-)

[@denispolanc2973]

Thanx for sharing

[@jamieallen8481]

Ok now I know how to do it

[@lelouchc9183]

thank you so much

[@ella-vb9ho]

The "point switch point" one, we call Chops

[@ella-vb9ho]

lol jokes no we dont :P thats something else lol

[@robLV]

I like the one that looks like you are shaking a bug off your shoe, doesn't touch the ground. What is the name of that move?

[@IrishDanceIsFun]

Haha, that's a great description. Are you talking about something from this video or something you've seen elsewhere? Irish dance is unusual because there isn't really a unified terminology for different moves, it varies by teacher. For example, shuffles can also be called trebles, batters, and rallies. Are you talking about the one at the beginning of this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXjJe4irqLhqi80. I've heard them called flicks, fishtails, and windshield wipers, but I'm sure there are more names!

[@taylorlong4656]

Awesome! What’s the music!

[@IrishDanceIsFun]

It's from the Bradley Brothers' album Irish Dance World

[@raintheory3390]

Great stuff! What is the music artist used in the video?

[@IrishDanceIsFun]

Thanks! The music is from the Bradley Brothers' album, Irish Dance World. I think it was published in 1999.

[@raraysaya]

Is it weird that I've always done these just instinctually? I grew up in New York with almost no Irish influence (except my blood) but whenever I hear Irish music I just naturally do this. . . I clicked on this video hoping to learn how to dance properly . . . I guess I just practice my form now!!! XD I'm not trying to brag I just find it a bit uncanny.

[@jessicatefft3404]

Raray Saya it’s not weird because I was the same way, I started doing it as a joke to mess with my sister and she was stunned and said wait when did you learn that? I said I didn’t lol

[@mav_eliz1795]

Exactly! I'm only party Irish by blood. I live in Texas, but when music comes on, I suddenly know all these moves! Idk how, because I've had no training or lessons! :O

[@vancelearning5530]

Wondering the name of this song? :)

[@IrishDanceIsFun]

The music is from the Bradley Brothers album, "Irish Dance World"

[@desmoove]

how come they don't move their arms?

[@IrishDanceIsFun]

No one knows for sure, but there are several hypotheses. One is that if the British saw them from the windows, it wouldn't look like they were dancing if their arms were down. Another is that it had to do with how they were holding their skirts/clothing out of the way of their feet and when the clothing changed with time, the arm position stayed. The rigidity became exaggerated once competitions became more popular.

[@katrebesler]

me trying to learn dance like Niall while listening act my age

[@leslypinera2209]

SAME 💀

[@Avery423]

When I did it we ruined the ground..(I’m a professional Irish Dancer too)

[@IrishDanceIsFun]

Haha, yeah, we've definitely caused some damage :-)

[@susiestuart8705]

ALWAYS, when teaching dance steps in line dance form, the teacher should face the same way as the student. Much harder to learn dance steps when the teacher is facing students. Whatever the student sees, the opposite has to be done. Makes learning very difficult.

[@tamanna500]

It's a great video but I look like an idiot so that's on me Thanks though
