This is my favourite dance of hers, and I love the haunting melody she dances to? Anyone know what it is called? And what is the dance. The whole segment is genius.
i love bernadette (: she's such a fantastic dancer, and totally sweet! she was my instructor at camp rince ceol this past week. it was such an honor to work with her!! this is one of my favorite pieces of hers.
My favourite dance of Bernadette's - it is so haunting - i find myself humming this tune all the time. I am Greek so appreciate a good dancer when i see one. Good dancers are always made much of in my culture.
Wow, thanks for putting this up man. And in such good quality! I have the Feet of Flames show on VHS, but I played it so often already that it's in black and white now and it's 'snowing' all the time. XD
no okay those shoes dont allow you to go up on your toes... your practically doing it by yourself... the shoes arent helping you at all!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you can start out at any age you want... but its better starting young... and yeah it messes up your feet MORE THAN BALLET!!!!! and its ALOT harder!!!!!!!
Ballet dancers can go up en pointe in soft shoes as well and it isn't that painful. Most professional dancers can do that.
Now explain to me how the hell you guys go up on pointe and then dip your feet to the sides without breaking or rolling your ankles. That's totally nuts and makes me nervous just watching it! How do you train for that?
CordsZ - that's called a rock and it' s a trick of the eye, mostly. The back foot is always doing the supporting. While the front is rolled over, the back foot is nearly on the ground, with the ankle turned out for the illusion. Doing it on points takes years though, and only amazing dancers make it look as easy as Bernadette does. God, she's on time with every little noise her feet make... incredible. Heavy shoes make a sound when you breahte, almost. She's amazing.
She's doing rocks, and she isn't all the way up on her toes when she does rocks; she goes down to releve and *then* does the rocks. And we practice them on barres, going only a little bit to the sides, and get farther down as our ankles and toes get strong enough to handle it by themselves and get lower and lower.
It messes up your feet as much as any other type of sport, or dance. Its actually much safer then things like cheer leading, and is a little bit less rough on your knees.
Irish dancing can effect your feet yes, if ur carefull and look after them then it's not too bad. and most people start at the age off 4/5 but you dont have too. some people start older.
I'm an Irish dancer... It doesn't really matter what age you are... You can do Irish dancing whenever you want! People that are good have to love it from the heart and really put in to it... I know someone age 45 who Irish dances with her daughter!! If you take care of your feet they will be fine... I am in prelim champion level and Iv'e been dancing since I was six and now i'm in my teens and Iv'e never actually got anything hurt yet.. Hopefully not ever :)
My father had early stage Alzheimers...I showed him this dance a few times and it brought him such happiness to see the beauty of the dance and hear the gorgeous music.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yaknow.... she's such a great dancer... but jaysus she looks like a damned hooker in this video!!!! wtf??? someone needs to slap whoever did the costumes for this.
She's a fantastic dancer, but they made her look really trashy here! That skirt is unpleasantly short. Also not a fan of her final pose! What's that about?! Ah but you gotta love her.
I CAN DO THAT EXACT SAME THING! I have been dancing to this for over 12 years! I wan to show Michael Flatley someday. I have always promised myself that I would be up on a stage doing a solo by myself like that. And I am getting there. Thanx for posting this.
Not yet. But I was going to post one of me doing that dance in like a month...or sooner. But it might take a little bit longer because I am getting new Irish hard shoes. So I might have to work into them because I can't fit into my other ones because they are too small. But I will definatly have a vid of me doing this sometime soon:)
I am so sorry! The person that relplied to that (jerrylewislover) that was on my other friends account. Sorry! That was me that replied. It was my friends account.
She is AMAZING :O

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi mon texte à la relecture sort dans un si mauvais français après impression ¨
Je dois avoir un virus dans mon pc ou un réglage mal fait ! Car je l'ai écrit à la main et une fois affiché, il ne signifie plus rien ? !
Sorry
But : Really beautiful video one more time

A little bit.
Its all about how you treat your body.
And I started dancing at age 12.
You are never too old to dance.
