hornpipe

[pfiddle]

@valery374. Music/dances change. I've seen huge changes over the last 50 years - especially as records took over how music "should" be played - My mother complained of the same problem in the 20/30's.

Even Irish flings - probably our only indigenous Irish dance form/tune is being lost - at least down here in the South of the country as they're now always played as Barn dances Single jigs became slides. A Belfast polka is much nearer to it's Polish roots than anything one will hear West or South

@Irish858Dancer heheh mine too ;D

straighten your knees and point your toes :)

[HelHel96]

my friend is sitting here with me and she dances in open! lol but she wants you to know that you should stay up on your toes a bit more. otherwise, this is amazing! keep up the great work (:

[foltano]

You need to straighten your feet and make sure and cross them

[ceroeck]

very original choice of song- "the rights of man" usually isnt a hornpipe

[valerie374]

@ceroeck Strange. I've never heard The Rights of Man as anything other than a hornpipe.

[pfiddle]

@ceroeck It isn't a hornpipe - this is danced as a 'Set- Dance' or sometimes called a step-dance. It's usually in 6/8. This is played in 12/8. I've even seen it marked as a march 1 I've been playing it for years and like to follow it with the Butterfly. (9/8 slip-jig - though I've seen it danced once as a Hop (heavy-shoed) jig.

[valerie374]

@pfiddle I've been involved in Irish dance for nearly 30 years, and I've seen (and performed) solo hornpipes to Rights of Man played in 4/4 with the "swing." In fact, I've never seen it done any other way. That's not to say it isn't done any other way.

Even so, in set dancing, a hornpipe is still a hornpipe- just played without the swing. (And I've never heard of set dancing refered to as "step dancing," either. Or of any hop jig danced in heavy shoes.)

i like your dress

[IrishDancer4ever111]

make sure you point your toes and keep your feet crossed.

[mutchocrazy]

Ounn .. I loved your heel clicks.. soo cool .. you seemed nervous for me =) Try to relaax ..... you are nice !! We know you can do it =) Byeee

[Kilcarr03]

[kindredspiritPA]

I agree; a firmer pair of legs with authority......watch the timing, but very nicely done. :)

[queenievenus]

[MichaelaKavanagh]

[Dogz4500]

[ElizabethTara]

What level is she in?

[slipjigprincess]

wow that's really good, I agree your turnout could be a little better but most people have that problem at some point. oh and by the way I LOVE your solo dress it's very traditional(in a good way) it's not very often you see a dress like that now.

[jomamma666890]

what comp. is that? looks like the oireachtas but i could be wrong : )

[valerie374]

Not the O. It was just a show.

[xXcharlene08Xx]

if u worked tuning ur feet ou a lil more it would make ur clicks easier to do , clear sound though :) good work ... xx

[AbbeyD8]

You Have Basically Just Copied What I Have Put Down...

Think Of Things To Say Your Self!

[AbbeyD8]

If You Worked Turning Your Feet Out A Little More, It Would Make Your Clicks Easier To Do, I Got Critisized For Doing The Same Lol, Clear Sound Though :) x

[Coolptool]

GO GO GOGOGOGOGOGO U ROX

[irishdncerbabe]

That's mE!!!

[davldunlt]

shoulders back, chin up, turn out, straightern leg on extensions, push toes down in clicks, lift in back without dangling toe, close knees, cross-you have nice clear sound

[daisychain34]

kooooooooooooolllllllll! No-one on youtube seems to dance any of my dances. No one dances any of my reals or the jigs figures or heavies!

[celticdancer8490]

u hav a really nice hornpipe rhythm i find it harder 2 dance in time to than a jig...love the steps well done =) x.x.x.x

[irishdancin02]

ok my last comment was harsh, so i'm going to rephrase it.. ;) work on your turnout, but i like the choreography!

[aftertoucherr]

[dncerbabe]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That's Me!! Ya Baby!!! I competed at the Western Reigion Oireachtas!!!

[XxCheeqyMunkyxX]

i can play this tune.

[ghijlk]

i love this music.. i wish i could of done this stuff i always had to do the traditional hornpipe which sucksss!!

[valerie374]

Funny. I actually love traditional speed hornpipes, but have been discouraged from teaching them at the novice/PW level.

Really, I think it would be lovely if everyone had a choice, but oh well. Slow's pretty cool too.

[secretly2ironic]

great job! love the steps!

[knossienne]

i think this choriography is so darn cute! love the heel clicks at the end!
