Its a beautiful composition. Good dance. All are doing well. Thanks for post this dance video on YouTube.

[ourDC888]

Nice! thanks!

[DesireeThunderbottom]

I remember being forced to learn these dances at school many years ago.... except we didn't really do it like these refined folk! Our main objective was to stamp on the feet of people we didn't like, and try to knock each others' hats off when turning. I reckon we had more fun doing it our way :-)

[runexown]

I'm Welsh but Welsh is very... weird?

[HarmonicNature]

@runexown No, Welsh isn't weird at all. If you want to speak the language, try Say Something in Welsh.com. Pob lwc - good luck! :)

[ShanicexGirl]

...Is it weird that I've actually DONE that dance...? XD

[TheSunlitSerenade]

Makes me proud to be welsh :)

[TheSunlitSerenade]

If you knew anything about Celtic culture you would see why it is so pretty

[cosinbrother]

indeed! for those that don't ....check out my channel for music, language and culture of the celtic nations

[MarxBakuninMe]

I love folk music, but I hate the dancing. It's quite fun to do at school, but it's not something fun to watch.

[MartynInEurope]

Lovely.

[keadykola]

It's worse then morris dancing O.o

[ronaldinhollew]

B*llocks it's worse than morris dancing!

It may not be as flamboyant as Cossack dancing, or as recognisable as riverdancing, but it's a great tradition!

One of the advantages is that everybody can join in, so we can have our "twmpath" where everybody gets up and dances. People of all ages and all classes, just having a good dance! It's a great tradition!

[keadykola]

'Yay, let's go prance around like puffs'

Sorry, I respect your traditions, it's just I find it A LOT more boring the watch them morris dancing, which I do BTW, so I am biased as well. There are a lot of other things people can join in like celidhs, and you don't looks like such a fool.

[ronaldinhollew]

I find Morris dacing completely riddiculous because it's a completely unsocial dance!

The whole point of dancing is to interact, and there's no better way to interact than to gt up and do som dawnsio gwerin.

I don't think you quite understand that dawnsio gwerin is still a major part of Welsh life. There are so many twmpaths every week-end in Wales, where people don't dress up because they're not competing, but have a laugh, meet people and get drunk!

[keadykola]

Please explain how morris dancing is anti-social?

I dance out every week, each dance I dance with 5 or 7 other people, that doesn't sound unsocial. We mess about and have a laugh, again, social. After the dancing we go into the pub and have a few drinks, social, and then we play tunes together, again social. AND there are a lot of other morris teams, with have ales, feasts, and weekends organized by some. So really, morris dancing is in fact VERY social.

[seonidh]

I agree a gfantastic trad dont lose it and a great welsh dance.

[SlashFlash93]

cymru am byth!

[ComfortablyJedi]

Oh my, how i love my nation. :)

[Dragonblastworld]

I hate welsh folk dancing......especially when they cram u into those wierd outfits.....its fucking embarrising

[shalasagu]

the three women in this video are well covered, not semi-naked as usual. the are reminiscence of the nineteenth century backward.

[ftcolorado]

what's backwards about not wanting the world see every part of your body? Is wrong to want to be judged by your intellect and characteristics rather than how big or small this and that part of the body is?

[poisonheartthrob]

im from swansea! though i found this quite boring in all honesty.

[Chopper894]

The presenter looks like he wishes he was somewhere else. Like down the pub getting hammered
