It looks like Appalachian clogging. Which I guess would make sense since most of the settlers of Appalachia were Scotch-Irish...

I stumbled ( and if I tried this I probably would) on this by chance. Very enjoyable. Thanks.

Just because the term "sean nos dancing" wasn't applied to this style of dance until the '70s, that doesn't mean that the style of dancing didn't exist before then. What we call sean nos dance has been danced in Connemara for ages. There are other similar, old styles of dance from around the country that pre-date competition-style step dancing as we know it today. Irish dancing that pre-dates competition-style dance migrated to North America and is the foundation of clogging and tap dancing.

The sean nós dancing we see now is a style that came from Conamara, and wasnt danced this way all over the country. There were local variations of dance that were more free style than the usual steps in different places but not as freestyle as what we see now.

@seannosdance2009 I was under the impression of two things. 1) Sean nos means "old style" as Gaeilge. Which brings me to 2) Riverdance was adapted from the older sean nos style of Irish dance, which has been practiced for centuries, much like its counterpart in the musical world. Of course, I may be wrong, because I'm just a dumb American. Thank you for correcting me.

Thats the I dance way before I knew I had irish in my family, or even knew that the irish danced this way.

Well the Irish were dancing this way before the Riverdance era. Educate yourself, my dear.

Nothing at all like Riverdance! Sean Nós dancing is a totally different art. He is from a family of dancerswho danced this style generations before Riverdance
