Irish Dance - Slip Jig

[jazzifire]

rocks look good! :)

[pinklollipops56]

i'm positive your turnout has improved, its something that takes time

but a warning to all of you who thinks "it doesn't matter", it does my friend popped her knee out of its socket and now has to have surgery to fix it because she was dancing without turnout

you have been warned

[TaSaolAlainn1996]

I stopped dancing four years ago and I have now moved away. Ever since I moved I have been desperately looking for classes nearby and the closest is 40 mins away

:( But I am determined to start again!

[carobratz]

whats the name of the song?

[fancsodixi]

hey:) it's nice, could you send me this music?:))

[SammysStation01]

Great dance! I'm actually using this for my oral report on Ireland. I'm trying to memorize your steps and master them by tomorrow...hahahahaha! Wish me luck!

[BabvCloeAngel460]

omg. this took me like 6 classes to learn... it is so hardD:! but i have now masterd it:D! lolxD

[woya725]

AWSOME!!

[rdowney146]

Oh goodness, I haven't looked at this in ages...

I'm in open now, lads, new steps, finally made that bloody slip jig decent. ish.

A lot of you have been asking about the music (it's gorgeous, isn't it?); the song is "Flying to the Fleadh," and you should be able to find some decent tracks on iTunes (:

[missbeatrix1]

@rdowney146

THANK YOU!!!! I've been trying desprately to find the name of this track! And your dance is absolutely gorgeous!

[riverdance902101]

what school do you dance at? you are amazing

[cobrachoppergirl]

If some cops try to arrest you on the street, this video shows you exactly what you do (irish slip jig) to evade capture.... until they hit you with the bean bag gun / air tazer and haul you away in the paddy wagon

[0nToTheN3xt1]

beautiful rocks, I cant master the art of doing them without breaking my feet or toes, lol

[sarah15231]

Irish dance is so much fun i have been doing it im a pretty good dancer since i only started last year i am doing hard shoes now YAY!!!!!!!

[taryndancer29]

[Ceilt101]

[nickygal255]

Thats exactly how my friend dances shes in prizewinner lol

[TheVinn56]

thats awsome!!! i do the slow one too!! there is a talent show coming up and i was wondering what that song is called?

[valerysgirl]

Irish dancing is my love...or you can call it, Flatwood dancing...(Appalachian dancing)

[TheStarsnbubbles]

I remember I used to do that dance. . . I miss it. I haven't danced in six years. I've forgotten almost everything.

[nickygal255]

what is the music?! i loved it!!! and your dancing is great as well, i seem to dance better without my shoes becuse theyre retarded and they deform my ffet in them lol... well anyways.. good job!

[treblemaker176]

the music sounded off, but if u point ur toes to the ground on the switch scissors it will look a lot better, and if u get more airtime!

[puggylou2]

lift higher/get more time hanging in the air. watch out for your posture. tighter rocks, too. beautiful dancing! L-O-V-E the music! ;-)

[hopegallagher747]

just lift that leg higher when u go into a jump and keep your legs straight throughout the entire dance. good job!

[nickygal255]

its not good to dance with no shoes... but anyways exellent dancing!!! plus i love the music!!!

[oPrettyRAVEgirLo]

Your slip jig is realy nice :) all i would say is you could get a little higher on your toes, but the steps are really nice :)

[mkirishdancer]

what level are you in

[Lassielurv]

The only thing I could say to work on, ( and Im just an intermediate, so really, Im in no position to comment, but just the same) would be getting your leaps higher. They looked a tad bit low.

[jaebcommakayla]

Wow, you go so far down on your rocks, it looks painful! i always crack my toes when i do rocks....good job! you're amazing.

[katiekat1143]

What music is this? It's beautiful! =)

[GratefulJane]

where's your SHOES?!?!?! Your amazing, you didn't slip once. (that takes more skill than the Irish dancing itself).

[MedicatingPerfection]

get higher on your toes.

[IrishDanceRoxx46]

<3 the floor pattern! mine just goes all ova da place!

[MedicatingPerfection]

You might want to try getting your kicks higher.

[robotmania00]

it was pretty good!

just work on your rocks..they look a little stiff...

but your posture was VERY good!

[lovee0xx]

whats the name of this song and artist? its great!

[A9Sharp9]

wow your body is very striaght...

try working on keeping your knees striahgt on ground work.

great job!

[irishdancerox123]

Good job! DON'T LOOK DOWN!!!!!!! But good job!

[GratefulJane]

beautifully done, just make sure you don't forget to add height!

[irishdancerox1]

That was great! You'd look so good! Work on getting higher on your toes, pointing your toes, and keeping your head up! But altogether, you looked great!

[HyperMusicThing]

this is a really fancy room to dance in my dance school is in like a church hall

[BaileyMalaylee]

Try to get your head up and your shoulders back :) I have a proble with that too. Beautiful dancing though!

[abercrombieswtie2]

I'm a highland dancer, and i dont think i could do irish dance. Great job. The irish jig is a lot different from what jig we do.

[amberrlynn88]

[wayners7]

so am i but not wayne thats my dad he doesnt dance

[setdancer]

ur a briil dancer......but try not to let it show when u get tired at the end and try to be higher on ur toes plz dont take it badly but more like some helpful tips =)

[SassyChick785]

you are a wonderful dancer. i'm also a dancer and you are amazing! and i love dancing!

[Swanfleet]

Hi, what is the name and artist of the music please?

[obsessionn101]

It's on the CD Rince Ceol

[moronsinger]

You have a really graceful edge which is exactly what you need for the slip jig but if you could get higher on your toes (don't know if that's for the lack of footwear lol) and polint them more when your moving around it would be even more beautiful. :)

[laudemgloriae3]

Beautiful!

[xDancingHannahx]

really nice... try 2 dance higher on ur toes..and when u get tired in ur last step ur knees r bending!! but u jump really high and I really like ur style!!

well done (:

[Fairyous]

[happyhutton]

[kwarren26]

[rdowney146]

I was 16 when the video was taken; 17 now and hopefully a better dancer.

[obsessionn101]

You should all see her turn out now =]

[ThatGirlFromDaComp]

I Really Enjoy Watching Yu Dance That Whats The Music Your Dancing Too Called???

[ponypower2589]

@rdowney146 yes, it is. It realllllyyyy is. I've been doing it since I was 5 :)

[shannoncupcakes]

[obsessionn101]

It's on the CD Rince Ceol

[GramaIngrid]

and it's called Flying to the Fleadh

[FeisGirl]

my feet hurt just watching this,try to wear proper shoes!

[gardn198]

good job! i miss irish dancing :-( what is the song??

[avrilalltheway]

yea u need to turn ur feet in and the rock is good and im a irish dancer2^^ great job

[dancinbabii2kaii8]

you need to turn your feet out way more, and you need to point your toes more and go up onto the balls of your feet when your dancing.

You also should never dance in socks, it doesnt give your feet any support.

Good Job though =]

[xXxshivvyxXx]

Nice but you need to turn your feet out, get more height on your toes, point those toes and it needs more power as it looks like you are walking through it

[darfi2008]

you need to turn your feet out more and get up on the ball of your foot - just a bit of advice from a champion!

[ihavewings116]

wow...way too show off kid

[reelirishboy5]

But you also have a considerable grace and lightness that highlights your skill as a dancer. Great job there!

If I may be so bold, what level are you at?

Thanks for tolerating me :D

[rdowney146]

this video was taken while i was in prizewinner, but i'm in prelims now.

thanks for your advice! :]

[swicisco]

@rdowney146 Can you tell me the name of this track I have danced to it for ten years and have never known it's name been searching it for ten years!!!!!!

[reelirishboy5]

I have a couple comments, for what it's worth :)

You tend to not expend as much energy on leaps, jumps and other moves that require more. Although it may seem like you are conserving strength, you should try to put as much effort into those aspects as you can afford. Do this whenever you practice, even just a runthough The improvement you will see is amazing! Oh, and to improve turnout, I used to put my feet behind the front legs of a chair and pressed against them to stretch them.

[jigitup4lyfee]

goodddd.

[jigitup4lyfee]

not bad. 1st step- was the best. what school r u from? i am from the golden harp :]

[darkirishcurls]

Yeah the choreography of the first step is really nice, I love it!

[IrishDancerSpain]

Maybe your turn out is not perfect, but I loveeee your dancing!

Where are u from?

[rdowney146]

thank you!!

we dance in santa clara

[HinsdaleSouth22]

what cd is this it sounds good

[obsessionn101]

The CD is called "Rince Ceol".

[larokk]

Not bad; just get higher on your toes and straighten your legs!

[rdowney146]

me too! (thanks for choreographing it!)

and you are never to use that camera again. everything you film has something strange added into it.

[obsessionn101]

Nice job! I love the choreography of the first step!
