Love the face when Cate and Liam suddenly realised they were sitting with a row of professional dancers!

[@bleachedpotato778]

funny, Liam is my math teacher and he tells my class now...

[@michaelhaney3388]

Awsome

[@OriginalPuro]

I love their faces when..* You're just telling us to love the face when..:D

[@jefflover4eva08]

Before they all stood up, I noticed they all had the same, specific shoes suited to irish dancing hahahah it was still good though

[@LayllasLocker]

+Love.Stories8 You can also see epic leg muscles on these ladies. Instant spoiler that they are pro dancers.

[@weeardguy]

That doesn't always give it away ;) I've been to numerous irish-dance competitions by now (both as spectator and dancer myself) and there is a huge difference between the muscles: some women have extremely thin legs while others have huge muscles: when they dance, you don't notice the difference...

[@kanzy1]

I just noticed all those lovely girls and their lovely legs and knew something was off.

[@tangoz811]

Jesina.22 i love the irish way .. always up for some fun

[@chocolatcats]

no...THOSE FRONT ROW DANCERS WERE PROS and a great guests in his honor.

@Luke Thomas I loved that I stumbled upon it.

[@stephanierazza9570]

That moment when you realize they're all wearing the same exact shoes: "Well-played, Mr. Norton. Well-played..."

[@thatoneslytherin5222]

One hello fellow annus and two those shoes are specifically made for Irish Step dance they're sort of like tap shoes but with heels.

[@stephanierazza9570]

That One Slytherin Hello to you as well. They’re called “ghillies” and “reel shoes,” right? I was trying to make a joke. Happy that you appreciate it :p

[@lordkrummi]

Memento mori.....

[@W3LLcoOL]

wow its amazing how all those people in the front row could dance so well, almost like they performed together before!

[@MrKingmerlin]

makes me think of not another teen movie when they are at the prom and "You would never guess that everyone who goes to this school is a trained dancer."

I don't think you realize how much rehearsal has to go in to make it this good, from a dancer standpoint (which I have been Irish dancing for 6 years and counting)

[@dcanes5720]

Mr flatleys, laid back response at 0:16 is soooo Irish " let people do what they want, it's all good"... That is why I love Irish people and their country so much... Amazing people.

[@philipbrennan4214]

[@randercommander]

I had no idea it was a setup before they started! My initial thought was "what a fashionable audience!" And then i was pleasantly surprised =)

[@emilysewell8432]

The man with the stripey shirt, who got up with that girl at the start when they first started irish dancing was my art teacher :p

[@PP-qo4wu]

lol wrong he is in wesgreen international school he my math teacher 7th grade and hes name is mr. Liam Harrington

And we don't have grades. It's junior and senior infants and then 1st class up to 6th class in primary school. Then in secondary school it's years as in 1st year etc. up to 6th year.

[@nurselaykan3721]

How intimidating must it have been for the dancers to perform that routine in front of Michael Flatley, the man who originally choreographed it.

[@SandySass]

I feel like it was his troupe and he was in on it. Could just be me, though.

[@wickedwitchoftheeast88]

@@SandySass they're his troupe so it was probably planned

[@kristenslice561]

All the ones who joined the couple were his dancers. James Keegan is the third person from the left.

[@chrislang7460]

Look at the shoes. That’s his dancers. They had the shoes on ready.

[@alankilen6646]

​@chrislang7460 completely. I would have had spotted them immediately at slightest sound from 20 yards away. And it is sound I mean, even when they were walking. 2:44

[@Jupe367]

The professional dancers look so beautiful.

[@HM94x]

When they all stood up, I was like "Aw, these people got all dressed up to come and see the Graham Norton show, that's nice" 😂

[@stehall71]

the first time i seen this dance many many years ago it made me smile for weeks.and even tonight i am smiling.i just love it

[@Songs-vy7qu]

Why is this dance soooo moving ....so good..

[@LayllasLocker]

Irish dance. How I love it.

[@franlooving4203]

I was suspicious of the very short skirts, but didn't notice the shoes. Fun clip, love MF and the Irish woman with green nails is so cute-they both were.

[@arkieda]

It's the problem with only knowing a little Irish dance, you don't know enough to be good but you know enough to be REALLY INTIMIDATED by the row of professional dancers you're suddenly in.

[@Dutch3DMaster]

My brother is practicing it for about 8 years now I think, and he is still intimidated by the really well trained ones :P.

[@alexg6374]

I knew it!! Those first row bodies were too athletic for average and random people?! Amaaazing!!

[@Troyellaislove]

Was anyone else kind of hoping graham would shout "stick on the old riverdance" ?? lol

[@chorlauheung4920]

Dum dum dada dada dum...love Lord of the Dance!

[@MightyLittle1]

That was awesome!!! Watched it over and over. Thank you Graham.

[@NeilDorgan]

My favourite part is the original audience member in the stripy shirt turning to the obviously professional Irish dancer next to him and apparently innocently asking (at 02:35) “have you done this before?”

[@bellaaustralia7815]

Wonderful, bring on the next generation. Well done.

[@bethbartlett5692]

As he was making the row stand up I was thinking 'Graham's got a really attractive audience today!'

[@chocolatcats]

In 1998, my mother and sister took my 3 yr old grandkid to see Mike dance in Las Vegas, she stood on the chair the entire time and danced! no one complained.................

[@theessenceofbeauty1g]

That fecker in the right hand corner of 2:19 is having the time of his life bopping along to that absolute tune

[@Riley_wolf]

It's so true though with the people who think they know Irish dance. They try to do it and while sometimes it's close, most times it's not. But this was funny😂 (I'm an Irish dancer and I could never do what the first guy and girl did. I would of froze😅😂)

[@eddierutherford4186]

I suspect most of the non-Irish dancing folks who try to do it probably have a few alcoholic beverages under their belts and say to themselves, "Hell, it's St. Patrick's Day, I'll do my Michael Flatley impersonation."

[@faith1characterhope]

Still one of my favourite classic GN moments!!

Takes me back to Angela’s Ashes when Frankie lied and said he was taking dancing lessons with the monies but he was going to the movies instead. He illustrated what he’d learned to his parents and it had no structure at all but they clapped along anyway. So to the two guests who attempted…I applaud you👏🏽
