WOW!!!!!

[@nataliehelferty1438]

Métis is traditional dancing of Great Britain and Native Mohawk as a way of tapping to the rhythm of the fiddle. In this case it is a drum as a modern drum set I am dancing to as a unique way of tap dancing to a drum set. Hence the Drum Dance Natalie McMaster the Métis Tap dancer in New Brunswick Queen and Chief Natalie Helferty of all of Canada

[@MinimalEffectMusic]

I also like the drummer. He's my uncle. :)

[@AllRequired]

This kid's got her some legs!

[@manduh87]

I've done dancing like this before. Not to this caliber obviously, but it's HARD on your knees.

[@PhantomBlue79]

The mics are on or beneath the ground. Looking at the squares in front of the stage tells us that in this case the mics are placed "on" the stage floor.

[@patrickmichael42]

whos the drummer?????? he's dope

[@ramywiles]

Is this Sean-nos? Or some kind of variation on it?

[@ramywiles]

Oh man, it's so funny that you should bring me back to this comment now -- I actually learned some Cape Breton steps a few months ago, so the style is totally recognizable to me a year after having asked this! I definitely appreciate the explanation, though :)

[@Feejakka]

Wish she could do this while playing the fiddle, haha

[@guidodiman]

+Fi J , She does..!

[@Steacy783NUTS]

I bet she wishes you could too !

[@airmancanada]

@poopingonyourshoes im sure you were looking at her shoes.....

[@joemaclellan4471]

Rod- -check this out

[@iraqidolphin]

I can't not dance when Natalie performs.

[@dhumar]

Nice tap dancing, but not traditional Irish dance.

[@Galleitch]

Nor is it ballet, cookery or deep sea diving.

[@solowinterwolf]

She's not from Ireland . . .

[@Steacy783NUTS]

+Brent Hudson Idiot

[@solowinterwolf]

She's from Cape Breton, a Scottish-heritage enclave in Nova Scotia, Canada: her playing and clogging derive from that tradition; nothing much Irish about it . . .

[@StephenAku]

@@solowinterwolf Pure Cape Breton culture all the way (been there, seen it, heard it, felt it, danced it!)...incomparable Natalie McMaster!! now blending cultures with husband, Donnell Leahy and their richly gifted family of seven...Royalty
