Irish Step Dancing for Beginners : The Beginners Reel in Irish Step Dancing

[sazji]

Well little hints of the accent do pop out here and there. Like the `lead araind.` :)

[BriaBrassie]

love your videos! I just started to learn Irish dancing and your lessons are extremely easy to follow and are very helpful. One thing: it would help tremendously if the videos were labeled as part 1, 2... as it is very hard to watch them in sequence. Thank you!

[DanceEngineer]

Thanks, Alicia. I have almost mastered this routine and now my wife and daughter want to learn it. You are a lovely ambassador for Irish Step Dance.

[hooverwildes007]

What's with the american accent. I don't think she Irish.

[basszealot]

do u give private lessons? ;)

[infraredcaw]

man she is so very gorgeous....

[igorevich23]

damn she is hot

[mmurphy2877]

I took Irish step dancing for years, and was show the same way... She does a great job. My teacher was from Ireland. There are different ways to do it, and everyone who was in my classes won dance competitions. Also I don't see any of you showing how to do it, or saying go here, and I will show you. Get off your high horse. You stupid shits. I am realizing 90% of comments on youtube are bitter jackasses.

[ldcol]

Hey. I like your videos the best they are very easy to follow. Now I really need some help. I live in Colombia and I am an English teacher and we have a talent show coming. I wanted to focus on Irish culture and, of course, it must have Irish dancing. I don't know much about this dance so as someone who has to teach an entire English class a coreography (and we are all beginners), what song would you recomend me to dance?

[dazpatreg]

I have just seen the perfect woman.

[makedonce1986]

make the transcript go away!

[rparry13]

this chick is american!!! the only word she says in an irish accent is 'town' she doesn't even say Ireland and Irish, like an Irish girl would if she were from Portrush...

[paddeee2]

@rparry13 so???

[mmurphy2877]

@rparry13 You can't be this stupid. As an american you can move to a different STATE, and loose your accent. Why wouldn't someone moving from another country do the same? Get a life.

[Leirlandais]

@rparry13

she also said the word "around" with Norden Iron accent 1:11,

[Leodhais]

@Leirlandais Yes, but in the next video she said "soccer". That's little strange, it should be called "football" in Ireland, shouldn't it?

[Leirlandais]

@Leodhais but she's in America, so guess she needs to be understood, and lets face it, if she kept her nordern Iron accent nobody in the US would understand her

[Leodhais]

@Leirlandais Oh... I didn't realize they made it in America, now it makes sence.

[kardancer1]

@Leodhais No Actually, my boyfriend is from Limerick Ireland, I spend a lot of time over there. In Ireland they say Soccer because, They have their own sport called Gaelic Football. England calls Soccer Football. Also, not you but for those questioning her accent if she has lived in the US for awhile because people do move! They loose or accent changes partially on accident due to what you here around you and to subconsciously pick it up. I know I tend to do that being their for long periods.

[NeuerMormonenkanal]

Why do you fill the whole screen with letters. Why can anybody see anything the steps? Why don't you put the written informations into tthe infobox?

[millerworld1]

someone give this girl a tv job she's a natural.

[supermilo44]

thanks

[HappiebunnieluvR18]

My dance teacher gave us a project so that we have to research our family history and do a dance for that country.... idk what exactly to do? she just was all like "research some moves and choregraph a dance!" yea like i can do that. she only gave us one week. can anyone help me?

[p5726]

I noticed you sounded really Northern Irish when you said the word 'Northern Ireland' lol

[skelly679]

if shes from portrush do not think she irish

[pchen442]

Is this Ryan Skelly from Methody?

[p5726]

You're from Portrush? I'm from Belfast!!!

[djtblizzle]

See, they make these things called AIRPLANES, and people sometimes get on them and MOVE to other COUNTRIES. Maybe that's why the dialect is 'Americanized'... What an idiot...

[cachaue]

if shes from portrush y is she speaking in an american accent?

[jakeydog1987]

her accent is a mix of nrthern irish and american!

[silverdollar1921]

im glad i actually found something like that on the net....like broadway102 i cannot afford dance classes n i always wanted to know how to do the irish jig....

and roxanalovesETF is right- she sure sounds american!!!!!!

[enchantress666]

traditionalwell they all are traditional but every single school has its own steps....week???...hmm...compe­tition verison of reel, light reel has three steps.....you cant possibly learn them in 1 week...well you can but the technique isnt probably that good......

[94mmcgrath]

I apologize, but that means nothing. The only thing that it gives you an advantage in ISD is your turn out, maybe. It will probabaly be more difficult if you have 6 years of tap, because you need so much more technique. I have noticed that many dances have the same BASIC steps, but most of the teachers choreograph there own, which is why schools are so competitive, they don't want there dances at another school, originality will blow the judges away.

[bubblesfoster]

i said three weeks.

[bubblesfoster]

@enchantress666 hey just to let you know, i am now preliminary champion...... ya i have good technique..... how long did it take you to get champion...... more than a year?!

[morethanclueless]

Where is the rest?

[Huschtensaft]

Ah you mean that in and out steps?^^

[ellicool11]

i make too irish step dance =)

[irishd213]

OMG I'm in love! lol

[enchantress666]

sorry....have been irish dancing for some time now and i really dont think you can learn proper irish dancing just from some videos...irish dancing is technically VERY difficult and you just need a teacher to show you the proper technique......

[roxanalovesETF]

yeah! You need a class instructor at least if you don't have a school! I just started, and it's a must for an instructor

[broadway102]

yeah.. but for some of us (like me) it's fun to learn in your spare time. I could never afford dance classes, so for somebody to take the time to make videos is awesome, even if they aren't the best with technique.

[CeeDOT1]

A passion? Look, what iv seen from your videos, is that the move arent wrong. But they dont look as if youv put effort into them. Theyre sloppy. You bend your legs way too much, and you should bring them higher. Your teaching people who have no experience.. And by teaching them wrong, they'll obviously learn it wrong.

[raws0me]

Thank you so much for sharing these videos with us. Is there any chance that you could number them for us beginners? I am quite never sure which phase I'm looking at.

[krollofcourse]

There is not a hint of Ulster in her accent. What is the deal with that? I can't focus on anything she says because f it.

[jettkrash]

she sounds like she is from brooklyn.

but she has nice legs and boobys.

[camberleelee]

She lives in California now. She's been away for so long she's for the most part lost her accent . If she were to go back to Ireland her accent would probably be thicker. It's actually very common. It happens to my friend she moved to the states from England.

[IrishPersonDeadly]

ur accent is like half american and den u can hear some irish comin trough cool =D

i live not that far away from portrush and i daced at Ulsters but my wig fell off i was ragin......

[roxanalovesETF]

yeah- but she looks like an American. I think some of her generations were just born in Ireland

[slickshoesken]

nah.. too young to be hot.. shes cute though

[wishingtree24]

Damn shes hot

[irish4eva101]

i always go 2 portrush :D

[Fae1422]

i like watching EV vids but it would be helpfull if they were numbered or perhaps if the titles were placed in the description box in chronological order.:)

[toadyboy20]

wow shes super cute

[Lian2416]

hey, what a very fine lady =) - beautiful in every sense, expecially ur smile; surely you'll ear that everyday eheh.. - and a apart from that, i'm really ionterested in this dance

[ciberjolly]

thank you very much for uploading!

[barrrrk]

Thank you so much. It was impossible for me to find free sources about irish dancing in the web but now I've found you. What next? I'm looking forward to see you new lessons. It's so pleasant to look at you! ;)

[cutey4ever]

are u in commision or crn

[guardiansplace]

she tells about herselves. it's just an intro. at the end she says: today we begin with ...,side step and end step, so let's stretch out!you have to look at the next video for the stretching,... . to the maker of these movies: you have to put numbers in your titels, I don't know what's the next video after the one with stretching...

PS: Sorry for possible mistakes in my English ^^ I don't know it very well.

[ttuuyyuutt]

she just talks

[booshxrock]

why is it just you talking about it??

[ss8849]

Mislabeled . . . this is an intro without the teaching! I'll keep looking for the lesson . . .
