[4everPandaLover]

[mackalexda]

I've been three times since then :) Think the best I managed was 23rd out of 37, which I'm still pretty happy with, heh.

I do still dance but not too often now, and I don't really compete any more. I just do displays now and again, but I don't intend on stopping anytime soon. :)

[huntedragon]

how did you do at that worlds?

do you still dance?

[redlinecons]

dude, ur an inspiration, even to a tap dancer ! XD

[natali601]

I'm a beginner Irish dancer,and I just learned a treble jig,any suggestions or anything? Message me on youtube if you have pleaseee.

[Clo7462]

Isn't the song that Bernadette Flynn dances on in Lord of the Dance called Breakout ?

[Clo7462]

And I forgot to mention that you' re an amazing dancer! :)

[cazxpenguin]

Alex your amazing

[Amtrak1194]

great rythm and i like that floor!

sounds like something fun

[irishdancer54321]

WOW ur amazing, how'd u do at Worlds?

[timithy414]

oh my goodness! that was amazing, the beats were super crisp and the timing was amazing. i loved it. way to be amazing, haha.

[corklad74]

that was just UNBELIEVABLE!!! AMAZING man! Just super! I just can't stop watching you!! Good Luck with all your competitions!

[mackalexda]

Haha, thanks a lot man! :) Glad ya liked it!

[mrsnorris22]

I really like the sound the shoes make on this floor-and very nice rhythm :) This is the kind of floor I'd like to be able to practice on.

[mackalexda]

Heh, thanks a lot! :)

The actual building was a bit of a wreck, but the floor was better than any stage I've been on so far! :P

Unfortunately that building was demolished last year though so we're practising somewhere else now.

[irishdancershiv55]

can't believe peopl are telling u about ur feet being crossed etc, i could hardly watch ur feet for listening to ur amazing rhythm!! fantastic!!!

[rinceresource]

Amtrak1194: worry about your own dancing friend. it's easy to criticize when you've got nothing to offer for comparison.

[rinceresource]

I love it when children feel the need to correct adults. None of you have showed why we should listen to your criticism. This guy could dance circles around you in his sleep.

[alexa119310]

very nice.

just make sure your feet are always crossed and turned out; you do a pretty good job with that, but there are some moments when you can see your feet are not crossed. also make sure you keep your head up, it really does help improve your posture and overall dancing. i like your rhythm a lot, very clean and crisp.

[beckyrham]

keep your chin up !!!

[deanes1231]

keep your head up. and turn out a little more . other than that its brill. love the rhythmn . what brand hard shoes do u wear?

[tory201]

Alex

it's me Victoria

hello

:P

[mackalexda]

Nooo! Ya found me! :P

Hehe, hallo! :)

Sorry about the veeeeeery late reply! I need to check this thin more often. :P

[dancingemmy]

nice feet

remember not to cast your eyes down

[Waldfrau0309]

Great ... I like Irish tap dancing ... ;-)

[KOLSuchACharmer]

u would need to turn out your feet more but u have good rythm

[ReelTreble365]

what brand of hardshoes do you wear???? i like them they sound very cool.

[irishdanza08]

its the ground that makes it sound it very different cause thats what my hardshoes sound like

[rnedwell6]

im in love...

[H3idih]

cool <3

[keepherlit1]

good rrythm but it lasckin a spark that would stand u out from the rest. know what im talkin about

[danielshez]

strate Feet mate

[chaussettegauche]

Perfect rythm, and I guess you've focused on your turnout and your posture since the time this was recorded :) Bet you're even more amazing now

[CandyFreak02]

yeah. AMAZING. how did you end up doing in the worlds in april 2006 haha so long ago

[wannagraduate1day]

totally bitchin

[mackalexda]

Errrrrrm.... No

[TheSneekShow]

holy crap ur AMAZIN! ill never be that good :D

[Kirill991]

Fantastic !!!

[FeisGirl]

Look straight ahead, don't look at your feet. But that was really good!

[2renetta]

your amazeing

[stepdancer13]

wow i wish i could do rolls like that... seriusly i cant get them down and its driving me crazy!

[KatieKWig]

this was awesome but just keep your head up it seems like you were looking down the whole time WONDERFUL job though!!

[InCharacter]

That's all good and well, but the real question is, can you do the moon walk? Just kidding, that was great. I have to say, it struck me as kind of "dance percussion", because the sounds that are produced are just as interesting as the visual display.

[longlivethesixties]

your feet make cool noises they are like *tappety tap tap tappety*

[LoveFrusciante]

wow ur amazin. ur rolls are great, ur hoverin

[fterrific]

you are AMAZING!!! KEEP IT UP!!!

[fanaticdancer]

what age group will you be in the worlds in phili in april??Brill dancer!!!

[mackalexda]

Heh, thanks! :)

It'll be my first year in Seniors this year, so it should be interesting. :P

[1irishdancer1]

will hopefully be able to watch you there then :) best of luck! x

[Itchilicious]

if only we could shuffle like that:)

[lucyrham123]

wow you're really good.. you're rythum is very good too

what competitions have you won??

x

[mackalexda]

Heh, thanks! :)

Erm... I've not won too many recently, i don't compete much anymore, though i do still go to a few national competitions. I'm also hoping to qualify for the World Championships again this year. :)

[lucyrham123]

well good luck for worlds :D

x

[polkadotcrzy22]

that was very good and great rythm- but where were the bum kicks?

[toeham]

great rythm

[celticcon92]

Great timing. Most worthy of a world title.

[Irelandlass7789]

nice clarity!! did you choreograph that??

[Y2CJ3600]

dude ur really good

[twinkletoes3077]

while its obvious us have gr8 feet, if i wasnt a dancer, or cudnt hear the music, i wud never have known if u were doin jig or h.pipe. Hate this modern stuff, just put as much into 8 bars as poss! Jigs should SOUND like jigs, even with no music. Not a load of noise! Not ur fault - ur gr8 at what u do.

[sugarplumfairy74]

Most people who aren´t dancers have no idea that there are things like a jig or a hornpipe, even if they can hear the music.

[bretlovesdonuts316]

the music is from Lord of the Dance isn't it? anyone who can do Irish Dancing has my full respect and admiration!

[Urchinannie5]

yea i think. i think its breakout. not sure. hehe i did breakout at my talent show. im nowhere near as good as him!! im 11 been dancing for 8 years and in prizewinner.

[Urchinannie5]

no it isnt breakout

[irishdancer54321]

OH MY GOSH. That was amazing! He is very good!

[aalexander928]

This is a fun and wonderful video. You defy gravity. Thank you for posting.

[KatrAnna]

Great treble jig rhythms! So, how did you do at the Worlds?

[twdeck]

Good job kiddo! You rock!

[Irishdancer123456]

You are so amazing! Your foot work is just fantastic! :D

[MjRoze]

that's pretty damn awesome :)

[bflxoxox]

weird posture

[lototallyve]

I forgot, thank you for sharing!

[lototallyve]

you are AMAZING. I love Irish dance so much :)

[pop1290]

looks like happy feet

[SlashrHorrorNut666]

wow, really great stuff. I need to learn to do this, I just ordered shoes off the web right out of the blue and a training DVD, I believe the instructor is Colin Dunne and it's really difficult for me to practice, it's so tricky! but you're awesome!

[mackalexda]

Heh, thanks a lot! :)

Ooh, nice to hear! Good luck with it!

Colin Dunn's a pretty amazing dancer so i'm sure it'll be a good dvd!

[greendragon828]

Sweet, the gypsy dance from Lord of the Dance! You have excellent rhythm, and your dancing is great. Keep it up!

[caggers08]

your beats are really good and ure a gr8 dancer the one comment i wud make though is lift ure leg up at the back more it will make your dancing look neater good luck in any competitions u have comin up x

[erinerinetc]

your beats are impeccable! what age group are you in? if you're american, are you going to the nashville, tennessee nationals in july?

[eoin900]

shit ur awsome, you did everything perfect

[silver3344]

Very nice rhythm, beats are all perfect! Only thing I would suggest is maybe breaking your shoes, so that you can actually point your show on the "toe" parts. It just look like your feet are flat ;)

[mackalexda]

Thanks a lot! :)

Heh yeah, i see what you mean. I could do with some new shoes really, i've had them for over 6 years now and they're still not flexible enough. :P

[hardshoequeen]

omg i have seen this vid hundreds of times, and i finally got into the Open level, but my dancing looks like crap compared 2 urs!

[mackalexda]

Thanks a lot, i'm glad you like it! :)

Congratulations getting into open! That's always a big milestone so good luck with it!

Heh, don't worry, i'm sure you'll improve in no time!

[redclover357]

he has such good rythm

i love syncapated steps

[mackalexda]

:) Thanks a lot, i'm glad ya like it!

[cutey4ever]

IM WY BETTER THAN U

[mackalexda]

Aren't you cleaver! *pats you on the head*

[niamhm572]

On your first step your left foot began to turn in....dispicable :)

But yeah your good

[mackalexda]

Haha, yeah, my left foot is still letting me down now, over 2 years later, i need to train it better. :P

Thanks a lot! :)

[superjade16]

UR BRILLIANT!!!! =]

[mackalexda]

Heh, thankya! :)

[mountrathman12]

[mountrathman12]

[hoopsy1888]

[Jayh035]

Hey i just got home from Belfast yesterday, was at the worlds! Which age group were you in, trying to remember if i saw you cause I watched most of the catagorys...

P.s. You said ur heading off to the worlds in April..But they already happend in March..Hahahaha

anyway hope you did well, Did you get a recall?

[CandyFreak02]

this was filmed in '06...so thats probably why

[mackalexda]

Heh, I was in the mens 19-21 competition. :)

I didn't do too great over there though, i tripped over a few times in my hornpipe, then stumbled in my reel. :P Still had a good time though!

I ended up coming 28th out of 31, heh.

How did you do over there? :)

Heh, this video's a few years old now, i think this was just before going to the Worlds in 06. :P

[Jayh035]

Hey I think I remember You! :D

Did You have the white and black stripe shirt with no waist coat and I think you had like a zig-zag tie?

[mackalexda]

Heh, 'fraid not. :P

I was pretty much black from head to toe (Black shirt, waistcoat and trousers, with a light blue tie).

I thiiiink i know who you're talking about though, but i don't know his name, heh. :P

[ihavewings116]

its allright. i sneezed right in the middle of a feis. luckily i didnt get off track. haha. i always do stupid things like that

[mackalexda]

Heh, whoops, that's pretty unlucky timing. :P

I've managed to have my shoe fall off, twice, in one competition XD I was doing my reel when my left shoe came loose and fell off half way through, though i was allowed to try it again. I made sure it was tight and secure, went back on stage aaaaand, my right shoe fell off instead.

That was embarrassing :P

[dlrmo6370]

I'm always amazed by how fast you all can move your feet! Very nice dancing!!

[Haarlemgeist]

BRAVISSIMO!

you're great! greetigs from an italian girl who loves Ireland

[ashlynnxox16]

very good!!! nice posture!!! im a dancer also ive been dancing for 7 yr =]

[kimanim77]

im irish and i cant even do that!!!!! wow good job!!!!

[sophiejenkins]

yo have good rythm but you have to work on turning yours toes out more, just push your heels forward =]

[Dundeemac1]

This guy's got skills!!

[ClarkRyan1982]

A>W>E>S>O>M>E!!!!!!

[mcr0child]

Great beats just lift more cause you have long legs, USE THEM. Watch your arms but other that that, great. :)

[mariabia26]

Wow. Just wow. Great job.

[arturiux2008]

that was amazing! i do irish dancing too.. but this is only my third year =( you could ofcourse lift ur legs up over your knees, thats what my irish dancing teacher tells us what to do..

i got 1 gold medal 2 bronze and 3 silver! XD

[aidaniam]

Kick your ass and get higher lifts. Otherwise, very crisp footwork :D

[FeisGirl]

make your hands into fists, instead of leaving them lose

[XCortsX]

i am in grade 5 :D

[irishdancer3629]

that was great,

i loved it, you' re amazing at irish dancing

wut level are you in?

[SummaAngel13]

i live in belfast!:D

[Princeykun]

awesome job...not sure if I posted or not, I don't remember. hehe. but you look like you're a bit lazy as you're dancing.

also, some of my classmates in my dance class(championship class - I'm not going to get into championships, sadly :() are going to be at the Worlds, as well! look for some MaGuire Academy(Arizona) students there~

[irishdancepro]

that was rly good ur beats r perfect

[LilShortie808]

look for my bff at worlds... shes really good... her name is emelia!!! tell her i said hi!!

[hoopsy1888]

class, your beats and trebs r to die for, great dancer!!!!

[Riverbuddy]

wowsers your rhythm rocks! So consistent and finely tuned. Keep up the great work!

[utterlycutterly]

good stuff you seem to enjoy 2 practice and that is half the battle in any art you take up you no the rule the more you put in the more you get out. i was a good dancer my self but i fell out of love with it after my very short spell on lord of the dance . you have nice rythm keep up the good work .

[silver3344]

You have a lot of potential. I say this because you seem to be a be flat footed. Maybe watch some Colin Dunn? You need the spring mpph in your step. I haven't Irish Danced in a year, I'm too old for it ahaha, I may enter the adult competitions later on in life, but I always wanted to incorporate like a moonwalk in an irish dance step lol

[inishgal]

excellent!!!!

[danniomc]

spectacular. i am choreographing a hornpipe and i need some more moves. yes, i am open. please message me asap!

Daniel

[Hunta119]

Is it difficult to keep your arms at your side all the time?

[mackalexda]

Just dropping by to say another HUGE thankyou to everyone who's commented on here!

I really appreciate your support and advice and i'm amazed that this thing's still getting more new comments every day (I thought it'd be forgotten about within a week of my posting it :P ).

I'm really sorry about not replying to many comments, i need to run through them sometime and send some replies out. :)

Just know that every comment is appreciated, and i do read them all!

Thanks again!

[jetplane2006]

You're the best Irish Dancer on youtube. One of the best I've ever seen and I've ever seen and I have a few All Irelands behind me.

Get yourself a nice kilt and lose the adidas pants and you'll be unbeatable.

You had a great routine, don't recognise it if it's a set and you made it look pro easy.

[HikaruBudokan]

Woah. You're awesome. You remind me of my dance teacher when he's dancing...haha. I am SO friggin close to getting up to Preliminary Championships it's pathetic! -laughs-

[Enright9591]

Ooooo nice. I love your steps ... great rhythm!

[xsarahx88x]

i like it :) in ur trakys aswell lol

[saoirse3473]

wow! howd you do in belfast? youre really good! as in my jaw is on the floor right now!

[proobu]

The heel spin is new to me, nice, if judges like it. Too much heel-down march step for me. Super click-leaps, and that waggle-foot sideways thing you did equally to each side. I liked it! Thanks.

[ifallalot223]

oh wow. you are quite talented! and dont listen to the loser who told you to get a life. he's probly jealous. =D

[mousek801]

Get a life.

[kathleenirish]

you might take your own advice?

[tamemeifyoucan]

damn straight this guys excellent!

[mackalexda]

I've got one thanks, and it's pretty good.

Sounds like you could use some helping finding one for yourself though. If ya have time to waste verbally abusing random people, ya must lead quite a sad existence.

[FREEASTHESTARS]

you are soo good, your posture is excellent! Keep up the good work dude i acutally taught myself to do it i'm okay but im not that good let's just say i'm on a beginner's level. (ur pretty cute too)

[yaplamf]

Irish dancing originated from drunk people. Watch the video and tell me it doesn't look like a drunk man tryin to stay standing up?

[Emmalene]

AMAZING!

[T1G93R]

[iderin07]

[LunaLovegood22]
