Irish Festival Traditional Dancing

[sinead3mazza]

okay I'm having a serious deja vous with the choreography.....random but could you tell me if you know what dance school she's from?

[revlechick012]

could u send me a video on how to learn 0:26 plz :D

[MarkyFriedamnn]

average

[MegaYummyy]

i go to irish dancing and this girl is such a bitch she always thinks she is the best and i HATE her

[pinkrox3006]

THIS IS NOT FESTIVAL DANCING IT IS FEISH DANCING!

[KiwiMangoLove]

Irish dancing should be whatever you want it to be. I know girls who go way out with the makeup and the fashion and I think that takes away from the tradition so I try not to do that. There's also some teachers who make dancers wear so much makeup and wear a certain kind of dress. It really all depends on the school you go to. And while there are some wonderful judges out there who judge dancers based off of skill, there are also some very shallow judges too.

[sneakysteppers]

very sneaky camera work

[rocknreelchic]

fabulous dancer, really well done!! seriously though who is the dumbass saying it's only 5% skill, they have either never danced in their lives before, or are totally crap and are jealous of truly great dancing. really super job, does anyone know how she placed in this?

[caitymurphy]

is this the dublin irish festival?

[Riverbuddy]

Wow that was beautiful! Fabulous technique and the energy!

[KWalsh554]

I don't see why you're all arguing the authenticity of the dancing style. These types of competitions are about 95% beauty pageant (down to the stupid ass fake wigs) and only about 5% actual skill... and even less tradition.

[TimothyLeDancer]

@KWalsh554 95% percent beauty and 5% actual skill? wow, either you've never done irish dancing before or you did and you were always a TERRIBLE dancer. so why dont we shut the hell up if we dont know shit about what we are talking about?

[singlaughishishstep]

@KWalsh554 uh. no its not 95% beauty. i go to dance class 2 times a week for 3 hrs each time, and work my butt off so i can be a good dancer. are you even a dancer? no i dont think so. so dont say that dancers are just pretty and have no talent. yes, you do have to make your wig and dress look nice but it doesnt matter that much. its all skill.

[Lornz1986]

Fantastic dancer!! Watch this video all the time!!

[ehil13]

I love this set! Its my newest and I love our steps for it!

This girl was very good!

[mypocketsizebff]

[irishdancer1020]

[irishdqueen]

Man she's awesome!! I think that set is lovely. i think its lodge road...i have that set just that i do different steps..

its really cool ur dancing rocks im not so good with standing on my toes :S keep up the awesome work:)

[elthizzg]

i am from the usa and the people are now dancing like irish but a lil defrent check out jerk dancing ...

[XXIRISHDANCER08XX]

shes very good but as an irish dancer myself(living in ireland) i can tell u that this isnt tradtitional irish dancing as in tradititional irish dancing going on your toes is banned not to take anything away from this girl she is still very good but i just had to make that point

[reeltreble8]

@XXIRISHDANCER08XX i think it is safe to say that as time has gone on and dancing techniques have changed, going up on your toes is now a part of actual irish dancing- however, different organizations have different rules; I myself am CLRG so I consider it a definite official part of the traditional dancing now, but that is just my personal point of view =) x

[IrIsHdAnCeR131]

wow she's soooo good!

[shelbierocks]

My best friend Siersha and I are Irish dancers. She's at novice prizewinner currently, known as novice purgatory to all of us dancers... It takes forever to move up. We'll both be competing at the American Oireachtas this year; I'm totally stressed about it. Wish us luck! (:

[horatiofogelzbottom]

good luck

[BhangraGirl101]

Good luck! i hope you do great! =)

[blondieXdancerr]

[AJsCowgirl]

My cousin has been doing Irish dancing for years and is in the International Competition this year.

[crazyirishgurl3000]

im irish and i dance :D she is amazing btw xxxxxx

[Khemix4]

cool

glad some countries still have tradition, instead of all the american crap we see everywhere

[9yrhunterjumper]

well technically...america never had tradition, just immagrants. america was founded by europeans and mexicans really. everyone who lives here desened from some form of immagrant and is not really "american." american isnt reallya heritage..just a logo

[irishdancerox123]

Fantastic.

[jonathonbartle]

its easy to do that. i can and i am nine and never done lessons and i am a girl as well.that is pips.i have done it before

[x0chrystinax0]

good 4 you.

but

1) if youve never taken lessons, how can you know if you're doing it right?

2)why is your username jonathon if you're a girl

3) just cuz she actually decided 2 do something with her talents and get compliments doesnt give u any right 2 try 2 outshine her.

cuz typing your abi;lities is completey differen then actually performing them

[jonathonbartle]

Right.

1. I am not a girl, that was my sister.

2. My name isn't actually Jonathon.

3. She isn't as good as she makes out.

She just hops really :)

[x0chrystinax0]

lolz fine, point taken ;)

my little sister steals my account 2

[Tiamatea]

Amazing dancer!  You go girl!

[bjornjoseph]

id so hit that

[cometirish]

Outstanding execution and attack.

[puzzleluvzme]

She has excellent turnout and keeps her legs crossed. She must be an open champ for sure, because it shows in her carriage.

[irishdanza08]

if u think its gay y did u search it or click on this vid when i suppose u can read or are u just a retard

[rainbowzpeace]

hes a retard

[ddtoots]

[setdancer]

[MattyM126]

[irishdancechik04]

[PlanxtyLewis]

This is Jennifer Heitkemper from McGing Irish Dancers. She's AMAZING! 8th at worlds this past March!

[freacls]

she reminds me of one of the Gothard sisters their 3 very talented sisters who dance and play the fiddle their all blonde

[puzzleluvzme]

Where is this dancer from? She is really, really good.

[ilovealexkarev]

Gorgeous!

[irishdancer66]

Is that kathleen Duncan?

[FeisGirl]

i envy her toe stands!!!!! nice rythym too!

[irishdancechik04]

point your toes a little more in the push outs in the step... also get farther off your heelss. Absolutely beautiful

[saoirse3473]

out of all the music pieces for traditional sets, the downfall of paris os by far my favorite! and she does such a good job!

[iPoeky]

ehh I don't know if you are referring this tune to be the downfall of paris, but it isn't! This tune is called "The Lodge Road" and neither of them is a traditional setdance! They're both non-traditional.

[saoirse3473]

thanks... i actually am still figuring all this out . which is traditional, notraditional and then trying to work out the music. but thank you for telling me anyway!

[knossienne]

she needs to be higher on her toes but dont we all ;)

[headstrongbabe02]

oh my gawshh, i wish my toestands were like hers

[saoirse3473]

i am so jealous of her! i could never do toestands like that!

[saoirse3473]

omg! shes so good! wish i could do toe stand turns like that!

[irishdncerchamp]

wow!!! i wish i could do toe stands like that!!!!

[Brinanara]

Personally, the slowing down of the music...and the double time, does nothing for me. I'd rather hear a rhythm with the music...just a thought.

[iusethiswebsite]

Oh my gosh she's so good!

[xx3MM4xx]

this girl has beautiful feet !!!!

[dav21mac]

cool

[irishdancin02]

oh my goodness, she is wonderful!! :D such great dancing, amazing

[saoirse3473]

omg!!!!!!!! that was incredible!

[hiliter110]

That's Jennifer Heitkemper from McGing. She's pretty much amazing! =)

[hunnibunnigirl]

that was reli reli reli gd ! were are you from ?

[roguecub1981]

actually this is a hornpipe set dance, called - The Lodge Road

wonderful dancer, keep up the good work!!!

[kelleebell]

wow what a beautiful dancer! awesome toes and turnout! but.... I think this is a non-traditional hornpipe. much harder than traditional steps great talent!

[clarkyclubdeck]

Thats Ma Wee Superstarrrr :O(*) x

[shellabellax]

aww look who it isssssssssssss =D

[acanessa]

Hi! I really like you set! very nice! The toe standing is beautiful!

[duskateteam13]

uh..this better not be a feis. cuz if it is, you better not let anyone from the NAFC see this. its illegal to video a feis.

[irishdncbabe]

how!? how do you get turn out like that!?

[MBD320]

great turnout! brilliant dancing!

[SONGxOFxTHExSEA]

Amazing!! You're a great dancer!! I REALLY love those steps!!

[Angelicdreamz84]

[iPoeky]

[jer2eydevil88]

I took this with a digital camera at the Dublin Irish festival. I am surprised that it came out as high of a quality as it did. I have another clip that is a full 5 minutes long but I haven't have time to upload it as of yet.

[knossienne]
