@popupin And if you throw a hot dog in an expensive pan, it's gourmet cooking. You Poor guy. It isn't tap, but it is enjoyable if you like stiff legged, irish jig dancing.
i havent seen this since i was about 5 or something. amazing. i listen too alot of modern drum n bass. i like drums and things, not rnb crap, but its good to hve a change and go back to listen to to good old stuff that got me into listening to the thing i like now
This is gorgeous and I love it too! however this is a scene from Riverdance and what you're seeing is called Irish Step dancing, clearly very like tap, but actually different.
amazing dancing.. im no dancer but i never tire of seeing this.. I do know that there is a difference between the shoes Micheal Flatley uses and the rest of the dancers.. Flatley uses steel taps, the others have traditional Irish hard shoes, which have a resin tap, which give a deeper sound than the bright sound of the steel taps.. as I say, not speaking from personal experience, just learned it from listening and asking my G/F who does Irish hardshoe dancing
So I have done both tap and irish dancing and yes they are different forms of dancing, but they are essentially so similar that you can put the two in the same category. They both have taps on their shoes and you make noise with them and the technique is also the same as well.
This might clear up some of the confusion about tap vs. irish step dancing: "Three types of shoes are worn in competitive step dancing: hard shoes and two kinds of soft shoe. The hard shoe is unlike the tap shoe, in that the tips and heels are made of fiberglass, instead of metal." Also, Irish step dance "is generally characterized by a stiff upper body and the quick and precise movements of the feet." <-- Tap dancers use more arm movements and incorporate aspects of ballet, jazz, etc, as well.
This is a form of tap dancing but still tap dancing. Tap dancing was created in the 1600's by the Irish.Tap dancing has been called other things when done in a none typical form but it is tap dancing .
Does anybody else notice that he is wearing tap shoes (like normal metal taps, not irish hard shoes) a the beginning. Watch the beginning carefully. Maybe is it is just the lighting. Also his sounds sound, well, like metal taps.
You can change the title of this video in the edit video option. You could change it to "Amazing Irish Dance Technique Show", because this is no Tap Dance.
if you step lightly enough, even when running, they can make minimal sound.
plus the microphones at the front of the stage to amplify the sound of the shoes probably aren't on so the is sound. you just can't hear it from a distance
i'm not being mean or anything so i please don't take this personally.... i wish people knew the difference between tap dancing and irish dancing! they are 100% different! and if anyone is confused just check them out on google or something!
actually, it's called irish step, not tap dancing. the shoes are entirely different, though they look the same. it's also called irish step dance too.
Are you kidding me?!!!!! Michael Flatley is a stuck up jerk. I'm glad he left Riverdance cause it made way for Colin Dunne and you aint seen nothin till you've seen him do that dance or better yet trading taps.
HAHA. that is riverdancel. I know this for a fact since it is michael flatley himself dancing. and shoes and their sound. just sayin'. (and if you don't know who flatley are.. )
tokiohotelroxyoursox dont even know what the f u r talking about. THATS NOT TAP! you need to google tap dance and then go jump off a really high building!
This is definitely River dancing. The technique is different from tap dancing. The shoes even look different, I think. I'm pretty sure. Someone can look that up for me.
Thats Riverdancing, Love this stuff very much, and you can tell the difference of tap dance, and river dance, Tapdancing you move your arms to the Rhythm, in Riverdancing, you mostly keep your arms on your waist.
This is not what distinguishes tap from Riverdance at all. That is only the surface of the differences between the two. They both are amazing and have some similarities, but arm movements is not the major defferential here. Being a tapper for 15 years and headed on the professional route, I'm just letting it be known.
Great river dancing but yer that is quite insulting to call it tap! No taps on his feet. The sound is also too wooden. Yer...Amazing tho really amazing IRICH Dancing! I can't wait to see this show on Saturday! They are truly outstanding!
irish american...in what way?unless one of your parents or grandparents were born in ireland..than your not irish american...your american!im actually irish..you dont hear me braggin....'i liked this before it was cool'...get a life!
Call it what you like but this is good stuff. I am Irish American and liked this stuff before it was cool. I am thrilled that the Riverdance troop made it mainstream. Anybody who likes Bluegrass, country, Jazz or Rock, meet your roots.
Its Irish hard shoe dancing not tap not bleeding riverdancing (that is the name of the show). 1st century clothes, like you would'nt be American by any chance like.
okay first of all its riverdancing not tap.... second of all i hate riverdancing... i mean its like really amasing and i know it slike soo hard and alot of people put like amasingly hard working into it cause i do tap and thats hard too but... like ever riverdance looks the same... like seriously. it gets like really repetitive and boring and at least in tao we actually like change formations.... we use the top half of out body... and we dont wear like 1st century clothers... i mean seriously...
Oh! Can you re-title this please? I just spent ages waiting for that to load/ buffer expecting a tap dance. I know the guy seems to be wearing tap shoes, but that's clog/ Irish dancing as everyone here seems to have noticed already. And isn't this from 'Lord of the Dance'? Michael Flatley? Kind of major Irish give away if you ask me!!
And if anyone knows of any good British/ European tap dances on YouTube let me know please, as American tap is quite different and it's hard to pick up good ideas. Thanks!!
That's definitely Michael, and I know, I was expecting a tap dance too...but apparently not. I used to love watching Riverdance. Definitely hard shoe Irish though.
true, it's Irish Step dancing, with a hard shoe or jig shoe. However, American Tap is heavily influenced by Irish stepdancing so I don't think it's fair to say that this is not tapdancing at all.
After the main guy leaves the line you can tell that the cloggres move together so well. so smooth so on beat with everybody else. I don't know if i could have this kind of dedication
This is not tap dancing. It is IRISH CLOGGING. Please know there is a difference. There is a scene in the show that shows a street "battle" between the Irish Cloggers and the tap dancing "Hoofers". If you don't know the difference, you should see the show.
Why does everyone put Riverdance up as tap dancing?
And I always hate him, he looks so arrogant, with his arms up and that look on his face. Like he's commanding/owns all those women. Anyway, this is not tap dancing.
42000, he's "commanding" them because he wrote the show. It's his creation. He wants it to be perfect! Just like you would want it to be if it were your show. Read his bio. It's on line.
Yeah, I do know who he is. And I get his deal, I just get a creepy vibe off him, always have. But don't get me wrong, his dancing is quite incredible. I'd never dream of insulting that, after all, I've been trying to do Irish dancing and I know how damn hard it is. He just bugs me...
It doesn't matter to me what it is. I think it is awesome to watch. I sure wish I could do that. If I could, I would wear a different style of britches though.
yeah this si riverdance completely different from tap dancing and that's Michael Flatley "the fantastic lord of the irish dance!" he's outstandingly amazing!!!
this is amazing.. i have no idea how they do all this in sync too. it looks very tiring aswell. the closest ive come to this is DDR. this is ddr on steroids haha
Tap dancing requires a stylistic motion of the entire body. Clog dancing on the other hand calls for a rigid upper body with movement mainly ocurring from the waist down. It's a VERY different style.

Um, isn't this from River Dance? Completely NOT tap dancing whatsoever. Might want to correct the title on your video mate.

Tap dancing requires a stylistic motion of the entire body. Clog dancing on the other hand calls for a rigid upper body with movement mainly ocurring from the waist down. It's a VERY different style.
