I noticed Chanda hardly faces the audiance. She's got spunk, though.

[StephaneGrappelli]

What's the groove the violins are doing? Does anyone have sheet for one or two bars of this rhythm (violin grooves)?

[RosesofWillows]

[dominions]

I would never be able to do anything like that.

[Chuckv57]

They make Irish dancing look so much fun, without the stiff look. Beautiful dancing!

[Jenni6425]

I find the music and the sound of the step dancing so relaxing in this piece. :)

[andyw7wind]

What is the name of the tunes in this dance

[peakfiddler]

@andyw7wind

Most of the set uses a tune called 'The Star of Munster'

[babyblueeyeslove]

This music is so relaxing and awsome, I would love to see them in concert.

[0zero0gravity0]

[niagarapete]

quite a few people are missing the point ... it's entertainment ... either you like it or you dont ... if you don't ... move on ...

great performance

[kateca85]

since WHEN is cape breton stepdancing french?????

[morigue]

@kateca85 Leahy says their style is a combination of French-Canadian, Scottish (Cape Breton step dancing came from the oldest form of Scottish) and Irish. A lot of crossover ;)

[Nirad007]

@morigue they live and grew up in my hometown

[Nirad007]

@morigue they live and grew up in my hometown there is actually a farm they own and it is still called the Leahy Farm

[iamNOTirishgah]

ahh! i wish i could step-dance :'(

[djwhiteraven]

Morigue, look on thier website. The style of stpedancing they do is not Cape Breton Stepdancing. it is French-Canadian.

[morigue]

On their message board, they say their style is a combination of Scottish, Irish and French Canadian stepdancing, so I stand corrected that it's not Cape Breton per se.

[chickintellect]

@morigue I learn step dancing weekly from Chrissy Quigley- one of the Leahys. And knowing both Donnell and Natalie quite well I can say without a doubt that the style is French-Canadian. Regardless- can we just appreciate the talent involved nonetheless?

[santamara]

@morigue

Even more amazing then:)

[santamara]

Just brilliant!

Beautiful, as always!

[lakings13]

simply awesome ! and all the Leahy girls are gorgeous too!

[djwhiteraven]

I think i need to address a few things as a formerly competative Irish Dancer. First off this is not Irish at all. This style is called French-Canadian Stepdancing and developed on its own in the lumber camps of Quebec. While the style may look Irish, it developed fully right here in Canada.

[santamara]

@djwhiteraven

Really? Canadian eh? Thank you!

 Amazing still!

[setdancing]

Ya like who said it was Irish dancing, Check Out Sean Nos Dancing, this is the correct and oldest form of dance from ireland, irish dancing Developed from sean nos. you will see that what is danced here and sean nos is alike........

[RinceorNosretep]

I wouldn't use the word 'correct', there is no 'correct' form of irish dance, just DIFFERENT forms. That's like saying tap dancing and clogging are the same, but irish step dance is the 'correct' form, just because the two former are inspired by the latter. And what about set dancing? I noticed that's your name on here, which would be the 'correct' form of dance from Ireland, set dancing or sean nos? Again, don't use the word 'correct'. Enough said.

[jrb51055]

as a white boy with 2 left feet? i am in AWE!!!!

ps

cant carry a tune nor keep the beat either...lol

[santamara]

@jrb51055

Want to dance?

[oswright]

cooool ! F...ing coool! - oscar wright, rome

[Nicoleclog]

They are the best!!!!

[blether12]

Great solo tap. The group dancing step is an elaborated version of the Clare batter which people do all over Ireland, without taps and which should traditionally be done close to the floor in a light but hammring style. Ye cutties wud make a fair impression on any sets floor! Come on yez girls! Excellent stuff.

[rgoque]

actually is irish, but in a show level

[NatureLover987]

i have a dumb question... why do most all drummers grimmace at some point in their playing??

[KnifeNut88]

It's hard work.

[lupussicarius]

It's the concentration face - almost all musicians (and drummers) have one.

[iamNOTirishgah]

i seriously need to learn to step dance

i mean, i listen to this music all the time and keep wanting to dance to it, but can't :(

[bladooka]

I love the rhythm of girls tap!!!

[RosesofWillows]

So do I. I keep coming back to watch it! :-D

[RosesofWillows]

It's talent like this that makes me wish i was able to sign up for their music camp. If anything, i'm going to wait untill i go through collage.

I want to learn to play the violin and now tap. Tap classes around my town have poor selection of dances. DX

[CerridwenFlyhieght]

is there anything Erin can't do?

[Coppermagician]

[jrb51055]
