Jacob's Highland Dance Debut

My four year old Grandson Jacob's Primary Highland Dance Debut at Fraser Valley Highland Dance Association Competition on February 23/2013

[@eghulse]

His extensions are beautiful! I know this video is 10 years old, I hope he's still dancing!

[@melaniegardner8766]

What a great little Scottish dancer is Jacob! Good for him!

[@sandyaw3057]

What a precious little boy Jacob is! He really took his dancing serious! I’d love to see him now!

Jacob is a true star with so much potential. What a lovely wee boy. Smiley and precious. You must be so proud of him! ❤

[@teresasmith8946]

Little Jacob has taken his dance seriously! you can tell he practices. So adorable all of them. Something always stirs in my soul when bagpipes are played.

[@ivangranger8494]

Yes, he does. The little girl to his left kept coming into his space, trying to follow him. 😅

He was so cute and shows talent for dancing! I was looking at him alone, his cuteness mesmerized me.

I enjoyed very much.

[@wendyjones7522]

Oooohhhh how I've watched this clip ... over and over and over ..... Jacob is a 'Mega Superstar' .... ! So enthusiastic and dedication from the heart .. ! I bet he's the best dancer in the region .. The little girl, next to him was very brave .. ! Abs brilliant ... ! 👏💗👏💗👏

[@awesomemom533]

He was the only child up there who knew what he was doing. He did great! 🤩❣️

[@mariasmith9973]

Yes Granny 😆

[@lilijastoppler377]

How can y o u know?

[@mairiconnell6282]

He showed promise as did the others if they practice hard. I started because I had a leg injury and dancing was cheaper for my parents than physio. I was the worst but my natural completeness resulted in that I became a Champion.

[@harrypoole6227]

My first parade with the Black Watch I can still hear my mother saying " They're all out of step except our Harry. "

[@catshez]

I was just thinking that 😂 They were all very young, but Jacob was the only one in the frame who knew his moves and did not deviate , perfection 😃👏

[@missmaryhdream6560]

YES!

[@catherineabdullah6092]

As I grow older, fewer things make me laugh out loud. Jacob's enthusiasm and great abandon in this dance tickled me. I loved that he learned his dance so well that he was in his zone. Those right and left of him had to get out of the high-stepping dancer's way. Beautiful and very entertaining.

[@maggiemessenger7921]

This really made my day. I couldn't stop chuckling. I remember my own kids in concerts and brought back lovely memories.

[@bubsodleson4109]

He's a STAR! Absolutely precious!!!

Why must it always be about being a star. Us adults put this into our children. Don't please! How many child stars have been overwhelmed by our expectations?

That girl to the far right was so ready! Jacob was a leaper for sure!

[@wanagi006]

How sweet 🙂 Jacob was on point! I hope he has continued his dancing.

[@Serendipity-gj2me]

This little champ put a smile on my face. Well done! He was too adorable not to notice.

[@aggieaguilera4real]

Jacob was an absolute cutie, and very, very good! He did his steps well and with confidence despite the fact that the little girl next to him was confused. I'm seeing this in 2019 - but Jacob did so well at age 4 - I hope he is still dancing!

[@harrietlyall1991]

Excellent! Jacob’s leaps are super extended and his little feet have already got the strength and spring required for this type of dance, where the heels mustn’t touch the ground. He seems to be listening to the music as well, as he keeps in time with the beat.

He’s showing so much potential for being a champion dancer. It’s such a pity they didn’t space the kiddos one back and one forward so they all had plenty of room to move. The girl to his left was getting into his space. 😊

Yes she didn't like him doing so well methinks..

[@mairiconnell6282]

Oh I remember mine at Balloch Highland games. I was about the same age. Jacob you will love your training. Listen and practice every day. Practice your feet and pointing from the heel, you are doing great! I didn't quite get to World Champion but I was a Scots Champion many times over. Practice class four times a week as long as you enjoy it and then competition on Saturday, once you are older. My best friend and rival was a boy Douglas Benson. He always was very had to beat! He always had a girlfriend as you will! To all parents split the Highland with Ballet lessons. Ballet gives you core strength and works on that elevation and foot and shoulder control. Vital. Have fun and make friends.

[@teresahopemiller1008]

スコットランドのハイランドダンスを小さい子供たちが伝統音楽として習っているのは良い。アイルランドのリバーダンスと匹敵する程の伝統を感じる。日本ではさしずめ能楽や歌舞伎と言いたい所だが、やる人は家元じゃないとなかなか教えてはくれない。習う人は真面目にやらないといけない。しかしこのハイランドダンスは一般の人であっても先祖代々の伝統を受け継ぐものがあって誇りがあって良い。
