It’s just trying to copy Spanish dancing that has been around since 1200s so it’s poor Spanish dancing actually.

[@pepelemoko2820]

@@meanlean3095 Cultures have their unique styles and they all come from somewhere. The culture is not about who was first, rather it's their cultural identity. Aboriginal's and many other cultures were doing feet dancing long before Spain, the difference being they did not have shoes.

@@meanlean3095 It’s just trying to copy Spanish dancing that has been around since 1200s so it’s poor Spanish dancing actually. Your statement that Irish music and dance is inspired by an old Spanish dance is a lot of nonsense...IN 1200 on the territory of today’s Spain there were Moors, who occupied a large part of today’s Spain...Between Spanish and Irish music and dances, there is a big difference...You don’t have the necessary culture to be able to compare the difference between Spanish and Irish folklore...Unfortunately there are many fools in the world, including you...

I watched it live, it was as amazing as you are watching. Brilliant

[@Kate-v9d]

It's Irish dancing. It is century's old One learns Irish dancing at a very young age , starting at about 3 or 4 years old, like ballet, and one must keep practising to become a professional like these dancers.

[@itsonlysound]

The aesthetics around the competitions are horrible though. Lovely dresses but the girls are made up like clowns - its insane that it hasn't been changed. Slapping tan, garish makeup and terrible wigs on kids have them looking like those beauty pageant kids in America.

I was so very lucky to see Michael Flatley and the Irish dancers in London,amazing....

[@mandycheetham-ob2ve]

Me too in Sheffield it was brilliant

[@virginiaviola5097]

I got to see Michael Flatley in Lord of the Dance in Australia twice. My baby girl was so obsessed by Michael Flatley that he not only became her invisible friend, but she taught herself to Irish dance by the time she was 3, we had Riverdance and The Lord of the Dance on a VHS tape and she watched it all day on repeat. Sweet memories.

Awesome! Traditional Irish dancing!! 😅

Love you guy's and love how you appreciate all nice things in life. Just subscribed. ☺

[@dereknash3638]

Don’t like the invisible viewing, Michael Flatley is an American former professional performer and choreographer of Irish dance. Flatley is credited with reinventing traditional Irish dance by incorporating new rhythms, syncopation, and upper body. Born in 1958 his feet were at one time insured for $57.6 million, he retired from dancing in 2016. The dancers were from Ireland.

[@reneemiller7527]

I was raised on Irish step dancing, Scottish Highland dancing and Eastern European Traditional dancing. I am a first generation American and my mother was Irish/Scottish and my father was Eastern European. I love cultural dance. My favorites are Latin dance and African dance. Thank you. Your family and friend are lovely people. I am 70 years old and you make me smile with your attention to the videos and your heart felt comments.❤

[@BarbaraStansbery-uu3xj]

Michael Flatley holds the world record for tapping his feet. Believe it is in the Guiness record. He moved to Ireland , bought the Flatley "Castle" and restored it to its original state. He definitely is a work of art in dancing.

[@deecondon6808]

We were privileged to see this live and even now decades later the sense of pride and excitement still exists

[@tapduff]

Riverdance is Irish dancing. It is a percussive dance. Tap dance, also a percussive dance is American. Here's a clip of the famous Nicholas Brothers tap dancing with Cab Calloway, from the movie Stormy Weather, filmed in 1943. It was originally in black and white. This is the colorized version. Enjoy!

[@tinadurrell2943]

Love you guys thank you

This viewing is really not good. it's traditional Irish dancing and music. Not English.

[@raycope2086]

Sorry folks, I hate the invisible version.

[@vallee3140]

is that what its called??? its awful

[@Dej24601]

“Riverdance” took traditional Irish instruments, especially the wide variety of Irish drums and percussion instruments, and traditional Irish dance techniques, with Irish-style music, and added some modern and other influences to create this stunning piece which won awards and toured the world for years. The Irish tradition is to minimize arm movements and keep the arms mostly downward. Women learn 2 styles of dance, one with soft shoes and the other like the men’s - with hard shoes with taps on the bottom. Many Irish dance groups today have incorporated dance styles and percussion instruments from many international cultures and have expanded their tap-dance techniques, while still teaching the traditional steps.

[@emmelisen]

You guys should definitely also react to "Michael Flatley and Lord of the Dance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert". They are amazing!!

The Riverdance company travelled with their own physiotherapists, because such intense dancing is hard on a body. Especially if the stage floor is not a properly sprung dance floor.

Need to be able to see what your reacting too

[@jaywu4169]

These people reviewing have no intentions of doing a bit of research before showing these videos, in the end it just shows ignorance of not wanting to listen or even read comments by the viewers. Finally what’s with the nearly invisible video, why have a channel if you are not showing viewers the video.

[@markhorton8578]

Ooops this is primarily traditional Irish dance mixed with some other styles to give it more appeal. The English have some similar dancing styles such as clog dancing, but this style is more pleasing to modern tastes. The lead dancer Michael Flatley is also the choreographer of this and several other famous dances, he is an American. .

[@deecondon6808]

FYI for future plans and I hope you'll do loads on Ireland it's music dance songs history and culture please remember our history...we were colonised by Great Britain before that time we were a celtic druid country and then Christianity came until 1500's the history from that time is extremely painful and emotional...it took 800 yrs and war to get rid of the English so we are very very offended when people call us English...we are Irish my country is Eire, Ireland or the Republic of Ireland...England still has hold of the northern part of our Island and it's been so horrible with death injuries and massive sectarian devides that have caused so much pain and bitterness but we are in a time of peace now but every Irish man woman and child prays for the day the country is whole again but only through peaceful means ...thank you for sharing

[@Burglar-King]

The transparency is too transparent. You can’t see it.

[@Roboto2073]

The Irish were banned from dancing from an English rule, so they didn't move their arms, only their legs. If they moved their arms, it was considered dancing. I learned that in college, but I'm not sure how true it is. There's a lot from college, now that I'm older, that I've realized that isn't true. Someone, if you read this comment, let me know if that's true.

[@Dej24601]

I have heard similar stories. Also that for a while, the English landlords prohibited the Irish from dancing, so they learned to stay behind the stone walls or hedges/bushes which were all a part of Irish farmlands, and move only their feet but as the English landlords rode past, they couldn’t see the Irish were dancing. I have no idea if any of these stories are true.

[@Roboto2073]

@Dej24601 That's, that's what I learned also. Thanks for some backup verification.

[@Dej24601]

@@Roboto2073 👍 reminds me of the stories, which I believe are more verifiable, that the reason so few Irish cottages/farmhouses have windows, is that windows were taxed, so the Irish built as few windows as possible, and had the half-doors, to allow for fresh air, light and circulation. I think other European cities taxed property based on the number of windows it had.

Awe,..we dont get to watch the video too! It's Irish Step Dancing,.not tap. Also the dancers arent allowed to use their hands which is why they are balled up into fists. Micheal Flatley!!
