Welsh traditional dance at International students dinner - Swansea Univ

[@thebaphomet9436]

So I had to learn this in school as a child and at weddings family members will sometimes do it because people like it an it's kinda a dance you'd expect little magical elfs to do I love being Welsh just wish so much of our past wasn't destroyed

[@jesswood2393]

Dancing this in school in the full costume was the warmest most uncomfortable thing I can remember but it's still one of my favourite childhood memories

[@shelaghmckenna2667]

Destroyed? It's in Wales that the memories are intact!

@The Baphomet We're working on it.

Blame the English?

[@dragicamilovic2075]

I love you and your cultur, Welsh People, greetings from Serbia

[@janetjones5087]

From a Welsh lady in North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 absolutely so graceful well done.

[@chrisucl]

This is so cute. I think that Welsh, English, Scottish and Irish should be taught in schools as part of a way to preserve the heritage. It definitely beats twerking!

[@e.k5855]

Huh?

[@erinjones1700]

Would be nice but the English invaded Wales so some of our culture and traditions were lost.

[@chrisucl]

@@erinjones1700 try and bring them back.

[@erinjones1700]

@@chrisucl it’s quite difficult to bring them back, wish we could.

[@skliee7171]

I’m Welsh and I was taught how to dance Welsh cultural dances in my primary 😁

[@eirypalfrey7085]

This dance is called Hoffedd ap Hywel - Powell's Fancy

[@panic4tt4ck]

Eiry Palfrey music ?

Proud to be part Welsh!

What are you? Like, percentage

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

And we’re proud to have you! Where are you from?

[@alexrose9507]

​@@chickenrabbit6715Doesn't really matter how much they are. If they culturally identify with it, it doesn't matter. If they are fully or part Welsh, they are still Welsh. 😌

[@louiskajzer9571]

I did not know there was Welsh dancing! It is cool!

[@autumn9680]

their dresses aren’t cool

Cool is one word to describe us...

Thank you for preserving the culture of the mother land and the fore fathers. Cheers and shalom from a long lost Cornish cousin in California.

[@dougV565]

I have some Welsh ancestry and wanted to see something traditional from Wales. Interesting

[@AobaMoansMplpj7]

Me too! 😊

[@The_Art_Imp]

You mainly see this at an Eisteddfod or on St. David's day or any welsh holiday. I remember dressing up as a little welsh lady in primary school and eating bara brith!

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

@@The_Art_Imp bara brith? Is that the basically-just-bread-with-pork-fat-on? That stuff’s lush!

[@The_Art_Imp]

@@Inquisitor_Vex bara brith is basically just welsh cake, sometimes you can have raisins in it but that makes it taste awful-

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

@@The_Art_Imp oh! I’m in the south and have only ever heard them called welsh cakes. Omg yes, they are delicious too. I think I’m gonna make some next week now that I think of it. Get some practice in before spring!

[@lawomega1]

My God its just fantastic dancing ,so very graceful .indeed one of the very best that ive seen on youtube ,thanks for posting!

[@Cloudnine222]

Yes indeed 🙌😊

[@rhyfelwrDuw]

I used to do Welsh Folk Dancing in School in the 1970s, don't know if they do it now, guessing they may do in Welsh schools so that they can compete in the Eisteddford!

[@moiraodeorains]

yeah vwe do do that novwadays

[@louisehogg8472]

Lovely. Very like Scottish country dancing. I recognise most of the figures but these seem to have more steps eg for setting.

[@xhappyponyxwasmyoldname1395]

I’m half-Welsh- raised in America by a fully Welsh immigrant mother- and I would love to do this at my wedding some day

[@juno2052]

we have such a wonderful culture that has been erased, i'm so glad it's being spread and appreciated beyond wales

[@vikkibranigan4261]

I remember it well from my school days, you'd be worn out by the end of it!

[@amycummingsirishdancemom8467]

I was watching this and my daughter says, wow that's sounds like a fast slip jig lol😂😂😂😂 .

[@Cloudnine222]

😅

[@Calucifer13]

This Welsh dance looks so incredibly French for some reason!

[@Cloudnine222]

Haha the language welsh is similar to Breton and Breton is similar to French so in a way I guess it makes sense 😅

[@lotusflower1067]

Somehow this make me happy 😊

[@mmzddx96]

looks very fun and lively, and I love that little change of meter in the music at 0:58! I have Welsh ancestry myself. Easy to appreciate!!!

[@Cloudnine222]

Yes indeed 🙌😊😅

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

These are the dances people danced during Jane Austen's time

[@louisehogg8472]

Certainly related to quadrille.

[@bagelbuns3230]

Im welsh and we had to do this in primery School (with a lot more kids)

[@selenasmith7943]
