lovely trio hornpipe with clean crisp steps well done xx

[HighlandDanceBoston]

Thanks! It's one of our favorite numbers and always gets a great response from the audience.

This is a really great choreography of the Sailor's. Very impressive dancing, and all split high cuts at the end! Well done! You're an inspiration to the rest of us :)

[mastud]

Very well done.

I'm guessing sailors didn't really dance this.

@jagdpanther1944 It's not "Irish." It's indigenous to the British Isles.

loved it - absolutely brilliant dancing! best I've seen of its kind. And for the nit-pickers, hornpipes exist in the English, Scottish and Irish traditions - in 4/4, 3/2 and even 9/4 time - they don't belong to just one country, tradition or time signature! ;-)

[jagdpanther1944]

It is Irish, not scottish!

reminds me of cossac and jumpstyle :P

This is a nutritious bowl of honey-nut queerios.

While I like it, I must say that as an Irish dancer myself, I prefer Irish. But very well done all the same :)
