[SuperCrazyJenn]

[hamasaful]

what is the music in the background called ?

[Tommyloverful]

I come from nz and i do irish dancing and passed that level, its really hard. It takes alot of years of practice. I've only just moved to nz from ireland about 1yr ago!

[jririshbmxr97]

Awesome job!!!!!! I know its hard on hard shoes but go uo more on your toes

[meezy981]

@EmmiesPiggies uhm, that's a traditional outfit for Irish dancers, so shut yo mouth.

and pog mo Eireannach toin. -.-

[thegirlwhodriedwolf]

[thegirlwhodriedwolf]

im'a britesh not pirat thi music tejuable

[slipjiggs]

very nice:) that's a very traditional hornpipe..and I am also glad I don't have to wear the horrible lace collar anymore.

[joggadog]

This is original old style traditional Hornpipe steps and they ARE done closer to the ground as hornpipe used to be only done by men.

[iiliketospit]

They're very good... Traditional irish costumes are sooo ugly... I'm sorry but I'm glad my studio doesn't use them

[TheFunnyBeauty]

was that 2432 ?

[katekakes]

i don't think thats the horn pipe

[lovelyirishdancer]

i dont like the dresses

[GillianMoynihan]

Well when it all comes down to it, Irish dance is not purely about the costumes. It's like in any form of dance. Sometimes you have to wear dresses you just don't fancy.

[duckesandmeforever12]

i do irish step dancing and its soo much fun!

[tweedyberd]

yessssss

[irishdancerXD]

really good girls :D x

[irishdancerXD]

really good dancing (: x

[xxxlilhumpxxx]

there dresses r tooo long nd there crapp nott lifting there feet..!!!

[Brookingtons]

@xxxlilhumpxxx that is true about the dresses but mabey it is they way they have been taught they might have been told not to lift their feet

[xxxlilhumpxxx]

@Brookingtons thats true about the dresses but no about the feet every1 in irish dancing has to lift there feet

take thiss from an irish dancer.....

[Brookingtons]

@xxxlilhumpxxx yea i'm an irish dancer too but i mean there are some really bad dance teachers out there who teach you the wrong thing :)

[xxxlilhumpxxx]

@Brookingtons k

[Ecstasysclub]

very nice!!

[irishdancerJess]

Great job girls:) Just a little more crossing on the feet!

[treblemaker176]

those dressers are not just bad but that did not look or sound like hornpipe and they need to get off their heels! my biggest pet peve!

[dancer8164]

its not that the dresses are ugly, its just that they are toooo big.

[xxxaoifebeefaxxx]

OMG to the people who are saying "ugly dresses"are feckin dumb those dresses are traditional irish dancing dresses and yiz shouldnt be doing irish dancing if all yer in te is the glitzy solo dresses :P

[MelissaCx]

ermm... btw the dresses now are more modern,eyecatching and nicer on the eye tbh! no offence! and the footwork along with the dresses is amazing!

[irishmobkitten]

they appear to be very traditional school dresses which I respect more than the clown costumes they make these days. i've seen current dresses with feathers, ruffles, and god awful patterns. it seems like it's more about the dresses than the footwork these days. such travesty to such a beautiful art.

[STHFGDBY]

Agreed, Dark attire against a grey background does not work. This attire may work in a different enviorment but certaintly not here.

[fobrocks911]

@irishmobkitten yes! weve had our school dresses since my teacher first opened in the 80s and they are beautiful they are blue for the original color of ireland

[wayners7]

gross dresses im making my own soon

[Cuddles1018]

Ugly dresses.

[DanceMassTV]

fantastic

[pattytoons]

just the girls dance this?? alone or with boys??

[irishdancerox123]

Good job! Remeber that practice makes perfect! Great job with the arms! I have been dancing 5 years and my arms are not that good! Great job!

[luckycharmsgreenclov]

Great job these girls are doing.

[chapstick530]

i would never be able to keep my arms at my sides the whole time

[magpie4321]

Sure u wud chapstick, just takes training. I know how to do some jigs

[KyseTheVampyre]

It helps to hold onto the sleeves of a t-shirt held behind you. It keeps your arms down, but only while you're learning. If you did that at a performance it'd be kind of silly. xD

[charlottecoffey]

@chapstick530 its easy!

[totallyrebecca]

thats really good

[soccerplusjonas]

this is my favorite dance to do in class

[XDmcrloverXD12]

i haev a really short dress,its one ofthe new ones and our instructor wont let us wear one that look the same lol nice job =]

[FeisGirl]

Are you talking about solo dresses? Cause these are school dresses, so obviously they have to be the same. Solo dresses are unique in and of themselves, one is never duplicated.

[fobrocks911]

my friend has one with zebra stripes its awesome and i have a friend that makes her own dresses!

[kaylibaby14]

My solo dress is going to be black and white with zebra stripes in the panels..... and those are ugly dreses!

[fobrocks911]

awesome! yeah they are! my friend just made one with s's on it for her name it looks awesome!

[joggadog]

@kaylibaby14 What does Zebra stripes have to do with Irish Dancing tell me?

[Irlandesaaa]

Truely, good technique. But need more practice ;) ya almost there, though.

[scarlilicious]

dat was whack and sh**y!!!!!!!!!

[8freckles8]

they need to watch their heels. and timing.

their heels keep dropping

and timing is off.

[bigitup2k8]

When i first learne hornpipe i couldnt get it right. These people are good xxx

[kaitlynthedancer11]

is this horn pipe?

[FeisGirl]

yes, this is the hornpipe (Traditional speed)

[lissydwyer]

nice sound! they're only beginners- i thought they were quite good! they just need some work- come on, it can be hard to bounce in hardshoes!

[lissydwyer]

america learn hornpipe before the heavy/treble jig. maybe they do too. i was rubbish at heavyshoe when i first started.

[katherineheiglrockz]

i can do that

[JARRACRACJAR]

I want to learn Irish step dancing

[mmagdd]

I would like to see this dance live ;D

[dannburkeownzyou]

why are you guys being such assholes, can you do any better? i don't think so

[FeisGirl]

i would hope i can

[dannburkeownzyou]

why are you guys being such assholes, can you do any better? i don't think so

[TheJammingDude]

Great

[kristinerozenberga20]

there real good hard shoes rock my friend hasa a pair with a pink borce there really cute !

[pixedust45]

do you know where she got them becasue i am trying to find a good pair of hard shoes

[purplepony24]

needs a bit of ENERGY to it!!

[xtremelyfluffy]

you guys are all losers. okay there irish! nothing special about that, so don't get so uffy puffy about your heritage, this is just a simple video. COOL DOWN BEBE

[FeisGirl]

just becuz they suck, doesnt mean we are being uffy puffy

[xtremelyfluffy]

i know but i am saying most of the people who made a comment on this video are losers and saying they suck. It's just a simple video.

[jigitup4lyfee]

youre just jealous your not irish, "bebe"

most irish girls happen to be SEXAYYYY....so i see where the jealousy is coming from :p

[xtremelyfluffy]

um... yeah.. i am so totally jealous you retard

[xtremelyfluffy]

oh and um...yeah i happen to be a quarter irish BETCH

[OravenclawgirlO]

@xtremelyfluffy just because you're irish, doesn't mean you can do the dance.

[peepeeo7]

were is there bounce .. they are soo bad !!!! :|

[Lingeth]

Ah The Blackbird... unless its got a different name because the style is different o.O

[irishdancekicksbutt]

oh!!! those were the days eh? haha

[anitajd]

wow you lot are harsh!!!yes it wasnt good,but we have all been beginers once.and so what if they havent got expensive dresses,and wigs.there not at feis!!!

[FeisGirl]

its not because of their hair, their dresses or the fact that they are not at a feis, it the fact that they look soooo lazy!!! their upper body is completley and utterly still.....by that i mean they do not bounce they stay at the same level the entire dance!! they have no energy!!! the are on their heels too! maybe if they bounced it would at least look livelier

[anitajd]

what have you never been a beginer?

[FeisGirl]

ummm just to let you know,,, u have to be advanced beginner to start hardshoe......

[anitajd]

not necessaraly.every school works differently.i know of a few schools that even teach hardshoe before softshoe.

[valerie374]

Not always. Some feiseanna do offer hard shoe dances in beginner 1.

[DancingThroughLife82]

umm, it is Irish dancing (or riverdance) your upper body is not supposed to move. Your not supposed to smile either. I would know because I am in riverdance. Yes, they could have more energy, but give 'em a brake.

[valerie374]

I agree with those who say your comments are too harsh. We want the girls to improve, yes. How is publicly lambasting beginners going to help them? Even teachers and judges have to word their critiques in a constructive manner.

[fartybunny]

oh my gosh

[CardiffCity1927]

they can't doo enything right lololololololxx

[FeisGirl]

OMG they are totally lazy! they are not on their toes, their feet arent crossed and their turn out is horrible, not to mention their upper body, they look like they havent stopped/ slept in days what with that lazy posture

[Aintgotmine]

LAMHA LENA CHLE A CHAILINI !!!!

HANDS BY YER SIDE !!!!

Who is yere Teacher ???

Dis vid s a disgrace 2da culture f Irish Dancing!

They act like they don't even want 2 be there, & they all look over 10y.o. so they should kno what they're doing & should know how 2 dance.

Can this this vid pleas be removed! It's embarrassing!

Crrrriiinnggggeee

[valerie374]

The harshness of these comments is a disgrace to Irish dance.

[dancer2kai7]

OMG!! THEY ARNT turning out theyr feet, lifting theyr rubbish!! xx

[aca10405]

My teacher would spank me if i danced that un- bouncey!

[Natsku124]

???????

[blueeyedbabe882]

theyre not very bouncy. im supposed to be able to touch the ceiling while dancing.

[celtsnite]

lmfao my dancer teacher would kick my ass if i was ever taht lazy dancing

[blueeyedbabe882]

i hear ya, my dance teacher learned with micheal flatley and danced with him-they are quite chummy. so if i were to do that, not only would my ass be kicked, id probably cease to exsist. O_O ouch

[celtsnite]

lol my teacher expcets the best... no matter how hard or how tiredyou are... lol

[blueeyedbabe882]

I totally hear ya. this woman workes us till our toes bleed. Literally and figurativly. its all like give us a break lady. but the medals, championships, and titles are totally worth it.

[DancingThroughLife82]

My dance teacher was one of the top 5 dancers in America before she retired and opened up her own dance studio.

[sexy5624]

i used to do that

[skiesofsilver]

you try it and then we'll critize you..give them some credit...its harder than it looks

[mozillagurl101]

they are horrible

[celtsnite]

i agree they're not that good in this are they?

[itguru624]

no wonder the irish drink

[stanzistclaire]

rofl

[Savic]

OMFG ROFLMAO!!! That is Freakin Hilarious, but I like their dancing

[dropkickthrough]

why are there feet all wrong in the first possition? foot to heel, foot to heel damnit!

[valerie374]

First position is heels together, toes out. Fifth position is toe to heel.

[PrincessLisaMarieXxX]

They're only young, give them a break like!

[Anygood]

got to give them respect, it's so difficult

[xXxIrIsHdAnCeChIcxXx]

is that dance called the blackbird???

[dejpau3825]

No, doesn't look like it...but it could be.

P.S. HORNPIPES...AHHK!--->that really had nothing to do with me telling you that it doesn't look like the Blackbird, I just felt like showing my disgust for hornpipes!

[berceuse23]

agreed!! I didn't like hornpipes at ALL!!

[joggadog]

@dejpau3825 I love hornpipes best - you can have your jigs.

[kazzle025]

I have to say this is quite bad... their footwork is very VERY wong and they dont really make an effort... Also get some new costumes n hairstyles... And stand up straight!!!

[spmbrady]

dem irish dancing dresses r ugly compared da ma new one and all da other cozzies now days!!!

[sjerose]

Thank you for sharing!

[xoerinox54]

you neeeeeed to be better than that i mean comee onnnn!!!! :(

[aerobear11]

the dresses are too big but the hornpipe is pretty good

[danniomc]

i not keen on the dresses and why would you wear dresses for practicing?

[recchionihunter]

Practising for what?

[lorgain2]

hope yer spelling is beter

[degrassifan100]

thier practicing

[knossienne]

irish dancers without wigs oh my! lol

[ladybluerose]

ahaha even when you have your own hair thats long enough when they put the fesh curlers in it it still feels like wearing a wig

[joggadog]

@knossienne Dancers WITH wigs - WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN -most look like ridiculously made up Barbie dolls if you want to know the truth. nothing to do with Irish dance itself.
