Brilliant! My great great Grandfather was in the Navy with Nelson, and I can just imagine him doing this.

This was a real pleasure to watch ! I love the Hornpipe & to see it danced with such perfection was beautiful to see. well done. So perfectly timed.

Ahh, bless them, what a great job they did. It's great to see youngsters getting involved in things and appearing in public is never easy. They all did brilliantly and hope they have all gone to do great things that make them happy x

Excellent. One of the best renditions I’ve seen. Bravo!

Thank you for this video posting! I have been trying to do research on the Sailor's Hornpipe and this is one of the very few videos that actually shows the choreography of the motions!

[@justforever96]

I don't think those are historically accurate, and I don't think there is any specific choreography. It's just a form of dance, like a sardagna or jig. As long as you fall withing certain guidelines, you are free to make up whatever moves you like, although some are more traditional hornpipe moves. historically it was just a style of dance sailors made up, and which they would improvise spontaneously when they gathered in the forecastle after watch to listen to the piper play. They certainly didn't dance in unison, and they didn't choreograph their moves beforehand. And all the mimicking of the motions of a sailor's tasks onboard ship is almost certainly something these kids instructors came up with to add interest and make it educational for the kids (and to a lesser degree the audience, which probably doesn't understand half of the gestures they made....I couldn't even figure out some of them)

@@justforever96 I will address that the author of this video lists no sources for their claims of accuracy, so I do now lay that proverbial ball in your court to prove your arguments. I do not argue against any side, I would prefer any truth or historical accuracy I can get!
