They're in an airport, there's no telling how many of them have already had their luggage lost, flights overbooked or delayed, etc.

Hmm you're right about that one Jez, they must have linked the wrong video to the article I was reading. I did think it was a rather odd looking airport! When I got your reply I checked it out, and there is another video for the Irish flash mob at the Shannon airport, and I saw the people actually happier at the airport than at the mall!

I was thinking the same thing. We used to have flash mobs where people would come together to do something fun and wonderful. Now we have a crazy virus, shut downs and lock downs, people losing their jobs, their businesses and their minds, protests, riots and lootings and the destruction of statues and cities. How did we get here and how do we get back to a more peaceful and more joyful society??? It's just sad!

My mam, sister and her 68 year old mother got up and danced before the music finished there were about a dozen old Irish ladies dancing like these young girls. I was 19 and a bit of a bad lad at the time, but it brought me to tears I have loved Irish dancing ever since, having been born in England I feel it connects me to my Irish roots.

[@chrisclark5204]

I'm a cowboy and I love country music but I am totally fascinated by Irish dancing like this.

[@Murph_gaming]

Where do you think country music got some of its influence from?

[@michaeladrian2210]

Well partner, next time you successfully snub a bronc, chew on some snuff, turn on some jig n enjoy the craic

Wearing a hat doesn't make you a cowboy.

[@sandrasolaligue-perez3606]

Wow! No words to express how beautiful this is. My hubby was in the kitchen and heard the music. He loves it. I admire the dancers!

[@mintea2779]

How lovely, its so wobderful to see young people dance their national dance, and the Irish dance is really beautiful

[@modelrailwaynoob]

They are an English dance group dancing Irish dance and doing it very well. Most of them will be Brits so it isn't their national dance.

[@irishcountrygirl78]

@@modelrailwaynoob because the English don't have any culture, but perhaps these children are of Irish decendants? Just a thought...

[@modelrailwaynoob]

@@irishcountrygirl78 If you think the English don't have any culture, you don't have any education. Were you off sick when the history lessons were learned? The English gave you much of yours!

[@irishcountrygirl78]

@@modelrailwaynoob yeah the English gave us our Irish culture. No, they tried to stamp it out.

[@robertwigand3999]

Love the dancing and the girls are so good looking..

[@daniellesorensen4622]

I love how in a dance, no matter what genre it is, how one dancer starts and then the rest slowly join in and dance NSYNC, never missing a beat

[@shemstock]

I love it..I am American...of Irish and English Descent by way of Turkey and Germany...and I would smile...it is absolutely Fun!!

[@fangtasiamusic]

I'm a simple man. I see Irish dance flashmob videos; I cry.
