[FumetsuHime]

@MyOwnWorld: yeaaah im 16 and wondering the same thing. Usually irish dancers start very young...

[MyOwnWorld95]

Is 16 to Old to learn Irish Dance?

[irishdancegirl19]

If you're in the Mid Americas area check this out the Saline Celtic Festival site event Irish Dance

[DanniesWorld17]

Omg give over people this girl dances and teaches for FTDA not WIDA CRLG etc!! FDTA are more traditional with velet class costumes .... we don't wear wigs or fake tan!

[McBronagh]

@DanniesWorld17 Finally someone who understand Festival Style!!!!!

[DANCELOVE250]

unless there is a pin in the middle just to secure more tightly. And the "heavy shoes" are called hard shoes. They are not heavy at all, unless you are the weakest person in the world! and they are not just for the more advanced dancers. the little girls in my school are like 6-12 and they all do HARD SHOES ask anyone! i guarentee they will all agree with me. I have no idea where you learned irish dance, but learn again. and dont teach others till u know what ur talkin bout. OKAY? UNDERSTAND?

@DANCELOVE250 ....i think this person should make a video seems more informative then this

[McBronagh]

@DANCELOVE250 Hi, why don't actually grow up and learn to appreciate that there are other styles of Irish dance, and more associations than An Coimisiún(CLRG), An Comhdhail, WIDA etc. She is a Festival Dancer, which is a different style of Irish dance, seeing as you are so "amazing" and seem to know everything. Why don't you look it up and do some research you ignorant, immature, childish person.

[DANCELOVE250]

you wear a wig! not your hair down. a wig! stay with me now! a peice of fake hair with curls or spirals. if you are a beginner..you dont wear a wig.. you wear a bun wig! a small cap of hair with curls or spirals to put over your bun. you do know what a bun is...right? also...sashes dont have to be the long baggy kind like yours is.. in fact, if you wear the right dress, it comes with a shash. it is an odd or hourglass shape with the same design as your dress. it celcrows or snaps on, not pinned!

[DANCELOVE250]

your shoes are not ghillies! ghillies are black, but they are not ballet shoes spraypainted black. they are a shoe that has a blak material and a tanish material what seems like it is glues to the bottom of the foot. they have open laces at the top, so you could see the WHITE SOCKS and the laces. the laces wrap around you ankle once, crossing each other. then under the foot-crossing each other. then lastly, up on top of the foot and tie it like a normal shoe don't believe me? look it up! google!

[DANCELOVE250]

Stop it! no! don't tell everyone in the world to wear a velvet dress and gold sash! every school has different colors and different styles. And you never wear a velvet dress in a feis unless it is a special dance like a drama or something. you wear a solo dress. KEY WORD...SOLO! if everyone wore the same, but wrong outfit....it wouldnt be called a SOLO dress. Mine is white with purple, blue and pink design on it. Others are green, some are red, others are gold, it all depends! and your shoes....

[slipjiggs]

never seen "irish tap" shoes with wood or metal...what the...

[sharklover678]

i do feis style dancing and wear gillies and a solo dress too, but people cut her some slack, it's a DIFFERENT TYPE of irish dancing and it's a beginner class!!! And the cape is called many different things. I think it sounds waaaaaay better not having to wear a wig.

[McBronagh]

She teaches at the Dominic Graham School in Northern Ireland. In Northern Ireland the style of irish dance is different; its called Festival Style Irish dance, and its different to Feis style and An Coimisiún. In the festival style they were simple embroided velvet dress with silk or chiffon capes, the slig jigs and slow and graceful and the set dances start at speed 50 (which is very slow). They were the hair down, with no wigs, they were black tights with canvas pumps similar to ballet pumps.

[jonasbrotherssuckd]

K see hun this is bullshit because I just started dancing and heaven forbid that we wear velvet, besides it's not a great fashion choice anyway what kind of stuff did they teach you in your class???

[conversechick307]

hun i just started dancing and even i know u don't wear velvet

[seighin93]

she doesnt no wat shes doin ur supposed to wear a wig thats curly and usally dresses r no velvet

[balletfanAZ]

As a dancer I find this a little silly, she should be wearing gillies with white socks, and a short flowing skirt, but instead she is wearing black like dress type nylons and Capezio Sculpture ballet flats, none is authentic to irish dancing.

[Angie2343]

I wanna get an Irish dancing dress.

[melsoft121]

ummm...you don't need to have a green cape...and you are NOT allowed to expose your arms or your collar bones...she's probably non competitive.

[jjd666]

shes not non competitive just a different organisation of competition. thers more than one...

[enerumu]

she is beautiful! This videos are amazing and very entertaining. Keep the good work! ^_^

[XXXshopamallicXXX]

i did irish dancing b4 nd i quit 2 times and the 1 that im starting this week is giving me an asessment test 2 c how much i kno and im very worried couse i dont really know alot and the irish dancing school that im goin to has all champions in it it and i need help wat can i do ???

[the1andonlyamy]

Talk to others, Look up websites. antonio paccelli has a website with all u need to know about feises with the commisiun.

[jirihozpodebrad23]

...did she mean her shoes were pumps? cuz they aren't the traditional ones at all. i like though how she's researched and says a lot of facts about things in her videos.

[freshaca3]

I'm trying to learn here, but that girl just takes my mind away :D

[jf1gd2]

desperate horny guys like you are the reason girls buy pepper spray and file restraining orders. there are only a handful of attractive girls in the world, but an infinite amount of ugly horny guys like you to creep them out.

[freshaca3]

I don't know what you're problem is but it seems like other people have complained aswell on your comments. Not that this matters but you should try to relax sometimes and be more positive, this way people might not hate you :)

[jf1gd2]

cause i point out desperate people like you. have you ever seen an attractive girl before? have you ever been laid?

[freshaca3]

That isn't even an counterargument mate. Your just ignoring the subject by saying unrelevant sentences.

[freshaca3]

I'm really not trying to disrespect her, neither women. Is it so wrong to comment on a persons looks these days? It was only a complement and I really don't understand why someone else would get offended.

[jjd666]

he never said she was just a pretty face simply that she had a pretty face. all ur comments about 'judging' others and u seem to judge 'many' boys. hypocrite much?

[jjd666]

yes i must apologise. clearly in the maturity stakes u win...when you find your own personality and maybe some original thoughts let me know!

[jjd666]

yawn. now your making assumptions about which organisation she competes for...you don't really know anything at all do you! you must have gotten picked on alot as a child.... but since you have still failed in showing any evidence of an original thought im going to go away now and you can return to real life where you are still old overweight and a virgin. enjoy!

[camillefirst]

WHAT the h... are u talkin' about shadeylane??

[LizzieandSam]

oh and i wear hard shoes as well! they make soo much noise!

[LizzieandSam]

i think i wear a solo dress coz that dress isnt wat my one looks like! and those look ore like jazz shoes than pumps! we wear ones with laces and we wear poodle (bobble) socks :)

[candancer21]

yeah but did yours cost like 1000 give or take 100 dollars and does it have solid panels etc on the skirt?

[LizzieandSam]

i dont hav one of my own but i've worn ones so im really not sure how much it was and wat it was made of!! sorry!!

[irish4life123]

shes talking crap.

[jjd666]

apparently its infectious then...

[irish4life123]

HA. what?

[toadstoolove]

This is not the proper costume. And we do not wear pumps...

Silly, silly girl

[jjd666]

maybe u do not wear pumps. that does not mean we do not wear pumps. just because you do it one way does not mean every other way is wrong.

[Vancityplayboy]

this girl is HOT!! I'd love to date that girl

[ReelKate]

OK, this is fine for performing but it wouldn't fly at a feis. You'd be disqualified in a heartbeat.

[jjd666]

perhaps with your organisation but that doesnt apply to everyone does it...

[BrineShrimpandMoShow]

actually, we wear solo dresses and we wear ghillies. :)

[buchanko]

lol ...nice body

[Brighide]

these are not very traditionas costumes...
