thanks you it's nice to see that beautiful female form for once doing the highland dance, usually the skirts hide it all i can tell you that for the male brain, this is dope!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Lets not kid ourselves here, it's got fuck all to do with Scottish Culture. Tight, fit, half naked, bouncing around, hey great sport! You'd get even more hits if you had a thong.
WOW they need to have a you on a fitness comercial about how to get a "Rock Hard Body" like that without working out but just doing that dance hahaha keep up the practice lol
hello fab video, i occasionaly watch dancers on youtube to try and learn more and was impressed by your video. i am a dancer too and am excited coz im moving up a section into intermediate. if ur wondering started dancing in feb 2009. My teacher would tell u to tighten up the shedding and in 2nd posistion keep ur heel forward. whoops one more thing knee back. gr8 dancing keep it up!
Come to realise, That in every video i watch About, Either irish Dancing or Scottish Highland dancing, The majority of comments are purely there to decrease the person who displayed it in the video's confidence - They is a line where Critism Ends, and Many people Pass critism and go onto being damn right vulgar - Good Job In the video, well Done. ^^
Very good! The only things I think you need to work on are tightening up your shedding (sliding the foot around the leg instead of it coming off) and to keep working on your turnout! I stretch (frog stretch) every day and it has helped my turnout a lot.
You are a very talented dancer! keep up the good work!
The only thing i can see is you lead your foot round your leg with your ankle.. always move the full foot rather than your toes and heel seperately. but nice fling :D
@bable4u They were fine. Honestly, all she needs to do is pull back her wrists while on her waist and she'll be doing it stunningly. Also, watch the disassemble into the first shedding, it seemed a bit exaggerated.
your seconds are really strong and you get off the ground and have good point, but you need to get your foot right around your leg it doesnt go gully to 5th aerial but it was a good fling
The one thing that stuck out really bad for me, was when your doing your shedding, your toe is sliding around before the rest of your foot goes around, try to keep it all together, so it's not like your snaking your foot around. Otherwise, great dancing. (:
Amazing dancer . But one pointer that i used to get picked up on all the time. You look as if you force your feet round your legs. They should move in a straight point once reaching your leg . It makes you look as if you constantly have to think about what you are doing instead of being a confident dancer. Brilliant dancer though!.
hey good, not being rude just giving you pointers, like some people said before i think, be light on ur feet and stay in one place and relax ur hands have them in the stag shape so you dont get cramp.
Really good elevation, try to work for more turnout. Try also to keep your second positions back after the turn cause they are coming just a little bit forward. But overall, this was really good.
Good Work but as a fellow dancers I think your Amazing just try to stay in one spot and have quite feet (you could hear thumps when you danced) but I think your Really Good!!
You are very strong and precise, just try not to hop everywhere lol. And in the shedding, it looks like youre lifting your heel off the leg in order to get it to the front. Its supposed to stay flat.... Anyway just trying to help. Have Fun!!
hey great job and great elevation but just a few suggestions to help you make it even better is to try rubbing your foot tighter around your leg, it almost seems to kind of bounce to the front and back of your leg. A few other things is try turning your leg out more, straighten your wrists on your hips, and bringing your arms back, my teacher even criticises me on that! Anyways wasnt trying to be mean in anyway but just trying to help out another highland dancer:)Keep up the great work:)
Katie!!!!! You hottie you...I was looking up some Highland dance video's for my friends at work to see what we used to do (I used to do) and found you! Hehe!! Isn't hilarious reading everyone's commnents? You got quite a few views too... ;) Love you girl...you rock!
great piont but ur like smashing ur pionting foot on the ground alot i found. Also maybe it was 'cuz i saw u from the back, but it looks like ur supporting foot could b a little more turned out. i know i don't sound very technical but i'm a lazy typer. who is ur teacher? mine might know her/him.
hey i have been doing scottish and irish dancing since i was 3 and that was a good first step of the Fling . Just u were all over the place, try to stay in one play instead of all over. i had this problem when i started but all u need to do is find like a little plastic dot and dance on that to stay in one place, it will come in practice. Great job though and good luck.
im a dancer myself, and u did rpetty good except ur sicling your foot in your shedding and ur changing it as it goes from 3rd rear ariel to 3rd ariel. harden that ankle but other than that... great fling! just dont twist ur hips and flatten that back for the bow
Your deportmen is excellent but your positions aren't. You need to make sure that your foot is fully turned over in second pt so that the top of your foot is facing the roof, and that your foot fully moves arounf your leg in fifth and third aerials. Also in aerial positions you need to fully stretch your foot and ankle, not just curl your toes. Well done anyway, keep it up. :)
Has posting this video helped you improve? I'd be interested to see your first step now. From this, I can see the problem in your drifting was in the left-as-supporting leg: your turnout goes in and out - keep that steady and you should be able to turn on a dime ;)
Your working foot needs to be weightless (it's hitting the ground). I also noticed that you're not hitting just below the knee on your round the leg movement. Landing with your supporting leg turned out might help the placement of your foot. Your jumping is strong and consistent though. Thumbs up :)
You are an amazing highland dancer! You are very strong and have good technique. try not to swing your shoulders so much, sometimes it look like you we're going to turn too early. Other than that, it was a great first step!
You've got the technique down, its just some basic things that if you can master in the fling, you should be able to use those in all dances. when your left hand is on your waist you rest the back of ure hand, tense that up and use you lower parts of ure fingers, it may in turn improve ure upper bodys squareness
great job, try not to touch so hard on the floor when you point in second, get your foot out there sharp and in the right position so you dont have to correct it up or down and risk sloppy points. good other than that, though =]
pretty good, just keep the working foot strong and tight on the leg while shedding. also keep knees back and body square. but apart from that, pretty good.
I think it all comes down to your hips. When you let say your right hip move back with the right side of shedding, then you don't get the square torso and not true turn out. Practice with an elastic belt on so you can see how it moves up and down when you change sides of shedding. This will help not only your knees turn out, but also when you reach to second. We want to see the WHOLE beautiful foot. Keep it up though...you look great!!! Great deportment!
watch your turnout: your supporting feet and your seconds roll in a bit, but that should be easy to correct. also your shedding should stay completely on your leg, starting fully in the back, not on the side like you sometimes do. Otherwise, you are beautifully lifted, your carraige is great and you are very crisp!
