How to do a Basic Jump 2-3, Count to a Reel and Improve Your Jumps - Irish Dance

[@pinkmagicali]

This is SERIOUSLY helpful. I just started learning and this step does my head in for some reason. Thank you!

[@MJPAcademyIrishDance]

It is common for beginners to struggle with this step. I am so glad to hear this helped you!!

Great tutorial...loved the little kitten captions in between!

[@scoutz0rs]

I still vividly remember learning my threes in my first lesson over 20 years ago and how confused I was at the time. Now it’s second nature, like walking.

[@MJPAcademyIrishDance]

Haha. So cute! Its totally different the second time around right?

[@vadinandez]

This helped so much! Thank you!

[@mellimoon77]

Thanks for teaching~~Irish teacher! great videos

[@AnnaGlin]

I found that it helps me to count "and" instead of "four" :)

[@MJPAcademyIrishDance]

That's a great tip! Everyone seems to have different words they say in their heads that work best for them.

Couldn't do it as a 5 year old in Ireland at primary school, now 55 years later I still cant! Oh well, there are other things I CAN do :)

Thank you, do you have your own teaching DVD? I like you as a teacher and would like to take lessons starting from the beginning?

[@MJPAcademyIrishDance]

Hi Christy, I don't. I've thought about it but just don't have the time to make one. Thank you so much! We are doing adult classes online right now due to COVID if you would like to join us? You can visit our website (link in the video description) and then email me from there (The main email). I just don't want to post the email address here to avoid spam.

[@christyowens4185]

@@MJPAcademyIrishDance I think I would like that, thank you.

My teacher always told her students when teaching them to go ..." jump with your fat leg (right) walk with your skinny leg (left) and hide with your fat leg (right) in the back ❤

[@MJPAcademyIrishDance]

Haha. That's super cute! Thank you for sharing

[@scarletthambly1110]

Any advice on how to get my front leg higher doing a birdie?

[@MJPAcademyIrishDance]

Hi Bella, I don't know how I missed your comment. Sorry! For a higher front leg, you will need a lot of flexibility and core strength. You can check out my "Overdown" video and my "Splits" videos for some tips and exercises. Let me know if they help!
