LEARN an EASY Irish Jig Step for St. Patrick's Day

[@shortmeister4321]

I'm a 62yr old Irish-American Gramma and I'm doing this cause all of my life I've loved Irish dance. Now, my daughter and granddaughters are practicing at their home as well. When we finally get to see each after covid, we are going to dance with joy! Thank you for the great video! Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!💚🍀💚

[@costelloirishdance5153]

We LOVE this! 💚💚💚

[@emilygorry9857]

I love Irish dancing I’ve also been practicing every day

[@MargaretPollard]

I am a 62-year old Irish-American Gramma as well... just fulfilling a life-long dream to learn some basics of Irish dancing... but alas I have no granddaughters yet to dance with (only grandsons who have no interest)

[@Loki_Is_The_Hottest]

I gotta be honest I'm impressed with this because its soooo hard to do basic steps when you're advanced. Especially slow enough for other people to learn. So amazing job!

[@evaz.313]

so guess i'm not the only one here trying to learn how to dance like niall

[@ayij.kothare]

[@branchofyggdrasil7073]

My family is heavily Irish,both sides of my family are very Irish,most all of that being from immigration into America,my great great great uncle had come down from the boardwalk of a ship into America,I feel like I need to learn more about the Irish heritage I have

[@taeblends]

After not doing Irish dance for 8 years, this video is lots of fun to try!! Love the trip down memory lane-- thanks for this!!

[@IrishDancingMagazine]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Sophia11_2]

Omg I love how many comments there are about Niall and one direction yessss! We’re family ya’ll directioners🤪💖❤️

[@davidlynch6286]

I'm a school teacher from Ireland working in Laos. Trying to teach some of my students a few simple steps for International Day. This is helping but I am finding it difficult to keep my balance .

[@costelloirishdance5153]

Agreed! Shoulders back and looking forward will help with balance. Engaging your core while you dance will also help

[@Norogoth]

That girl in the back left smiling for 5 minutes straight.

[@costelloirishdance5153]

That’s our Brooke! Such a performer 😃

[@SirenaSpades]

She did a wonderful job

[@nitalightell336]

Well let's see I probably end up with a dislocated knee and hip!! If I was younger I would try this!! But it's absolutely fun to watch!! Happy Saint Patrick's day everybody 💚🌿💚🤗

[@mercykok2635]

They all make it look so easy

[@dylanwenz8112]

Because it is easy if you’ve been doing it for years. It’s only hard when you first learn it.

I feel my age, but a great sense of achievement having now danced along with you and got it right (well, probably not technically, but I was there with the steps!). It's an exhausting dance style if you're not used to it! Thank you.

I hope you tried the step of the jig and did it! But if not, check out the two videos we uploaded yesterday and today because they are VERY EASY basics of Irish Dance to get you going!

[@SophiaKilleen-j7w]

Guys u know what every club has a different dance style and all the dances has different moves based on the club, this is their club dance on it

[@thekinginjello]

Maybe it seems like an alright idea to wear dark pants while making a dance tutorial on paper, but not in practice as it’s hard to see which leg is in front

[@costelloirishdance5153]

Thanks for the feedback! We’ll be sure to wear a more contrasting colour in future videos

[@charlieknowlton7003]

So I'm going to go back to this, but you are doing a mirror image. Correct?? because it looks like you are pointing at your left foot or leg but its to my right so you are wanting me to move my right foot or leg , Right?

[@letitiakearney2423]

In Irish dance it’s always right foot first and repeated on left foot in every dance step.

[@pumpkinsmiles]

Its so hard, but I am Irish :(

[@costelloirishdance5153]

Irish dance is definitely difficult. But if you keep at it and go at your own pace, you’ll be able to catch on!

[@nia_xoxo1654]

Same 😂😂😂

[@ABCHomeHartine]

I'm a little bit confused. You say right foot in front, but you put the left one

[@nataliacastroguerrico2566]

What is the name of the song??

The song is Light Jig 😊

About time he learnt which is his right and left feet.

[@miaerrato]

definitely not learning this just to dance like nialler

[@riccardoforesti6067]

Why them girls be always smiling tho?

[@stepno]

Is it really standard practice in the dance world to call this a "jig step" when the tune is a "reel" in 4/4 time, not a "jig," which is in 6/8 time? I tried to learn the reel's "sevens and threes" step years ago, while also learning to count them out in Irish, which caused me to fall over when I got to "4," which in Irish has two syllables. :-) The math also bothered me, since as a musician I knew a reel had four beats, so should be divisible by four, not those odd numbers 7 and 3 ... until I realized that "sevens and threes" meant counting "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and 1 2 3 and 1 2 3 and," which adds up to 16 when you count the "ands."

[@doctordeadpan5700]

I think they mirrored the video to make it easier to learn and that's probably why it looks like their left foot. 🤠

Exactly what Doctor Deadpan wrote. We demonstrated the mirror image of what you do at home 😀

Can't concentrate when movements don't match the music, plus, the right foot is not the left! If you say "right", use your right.
