Scottish Lilt

[funkyprincess014]

Did you get first place in this dance??

[highlanddancer1011]

@funkyprincess014 nahh I didn't. I was being stupid at this competition and accidentally did the whole first step to 4th intermediate aerial instead of 4th aerial. whoops :)

[funkyprincess014]

@highlanddancer1011 Well still you do the lilt much better than I do but I'm only a beginer and this is my second year of highland dancing but anyway you did great

[97stephanierox]

[MrPenfold84]

She was cute.

[romineyduncan]

That. Was. Incredible. I am just learning the lilt right now (I'm a beginner adult dancer) and that was very inspirational...shows me what I need to be trying to do. Also, I love how you can hear the little girl at the end go "Yay Tierney!".

[ItsCozImCoolLikeThat]

Ewwwwwwww lilt :P

Nice feet

Your extensions in the first step should be to fourth though, not fourth intermediate

[heyginny]

I don't know anything about Scottish Dancing,but that was lovely!

[Bek24191]

the first step is supposed to be to fourth not fourth intermediate isnt it?

[christianmachafolk]

Very very nice! I've been to a ceilidh in Nova Scotia where I saw that dance my first time. One question: why is it called lilt and what does lilt mean? I thought it would be that kind of "mouthmusic".. regards from the flat north of germany, chris

[Wishyouwerehere080]

I haven't been highland dancing for a long time...but here is what I have gathered.

Lilt translates to, light...notice how the dance is very light and graceful on her feet...almost like ballet.

i have been doing highland dacing since i was 5 years old!!!

[scottishdancer93]

I hate fast lilts. I love holding positions as long as possible:) Nice Lilt!

[landersom]

Really? I hate the lilt. I think it's the most boring scottish dance, and yes, I do dance. But, then again, I may be biased because it is my worst dance.

[jupiter101peach]

I love the Lilt it's so quick and easy! well, for me anyway...

[marblemap]

This kid is good and I have seen the competition at the Bridge-of-Allan Gathering in 2007.

[itsapen]

i do the same steps as you:)

[jamie71093]

Very Beautiful! You would be praised right now for you pointing and turned out thigh and all of the techneiques right now if my dance teachers saw you! Again beautiful, are you beginner (nah too good), novice, intermediate, or premier?

[highlanddancer1011]

Thanks! I've been premier for about 10 years now

[6thearetist6]

Well i enjoyed it,you have beautiful legs and feet.

[highlanddancer1011]

Thankyou!

[baby12345]

haha we have similar names:O.. how do you pronounce tierney ? i pronounce my name Tara- nay.. spelt Taraneh.. wierd haha

nice lilt:) in first step: extensions go to fourth not second

[highlanddancer1313]

question? In lilt do you hold the slip aswell as the skirt. Different people do it differently so I am confused!

[highlanddancer1011]

No, we hold just the skirt. I have never heard of anyone grabbing their petticoat as with the skirt. Perhaps that's a S. country dance move.

[highlanddancer1313]

i don't i just saw someone holding i tat a competitoin in edmonton

\

[highlanddancer1011]

hm...weird.

[NeverMindBird]

Scottish country dancers (women) don't hold the petticoats. (i Scottish country dance)

[itsapen]

just skirt not the slip thts why you hve the slip vut the lilt is tricky so sometimes well dancing you accidentily grab the slip aswel as the skirt.
