My Breakout (Version 1)

Check out version 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M0WAOOK23M

Hey guys! A little story for you...

So i was forced to give up irish danicing about 9 years ago. Why forced? Because my knees would cause me unbearable pain, so to make sure I didn't do any perminant damage that would live with me through my adult life I had to stop.

My life since then has felt empty. The thought of never dancing again was awful. Every now and again I put on my shoes and hope that one day I will be able to dance again but each time I suffered- until a couple of weeks ago. I don't want to jynx myself but so far so good, I just hope it's here to stay! If not at least I can say I danced one more time and that in itself makes me happy. At least i was able to experience what having a passion really means.

When watching Lord of the Dance/ Feet of Flames in show and dvd, I always found myself dancing with my hands to some of the steps in the breakout. So I thought why don't I give this a go. I learnt it in 5 days just by watching the clip.

It's by no means perfect. This was shot on my 1st attempt all the way through and i'm dancing on a squared metre of flooring which is quite restricting! I may have got some steps a little wrong but this is what I thought it was. After 9 years my fitness and dancing ability has suffered so i'll keep practicing and hopefully can get a better version- I was just too impatient to get this uploaded.

Hope you enjoy it!

Cross your feet... You won't be able to do LOTD if you don't.

@louwillie as I said it's been 9 years, even the simplest things leave you. I was aware of this but thanks for the comment.

@BuddyLotD Thanks! Hope i can get back to the level I once was. You've got a great channel! Wish i came across it sooner, got a great angle on the breakout vid. Good to see celtic tiger aswell.

I feel very bad for your knee problems.... And you are totally right the simplest things leave you easily. But some people will give you these comments to tell you what you need to work on so you can get even better. Well I pretty much have to say the same thing the top comment said you need to: cross, turn out... 2 major things you need to work on. Your sound was great. Good job and keep working at it:)

Great video. After not dancing for such a long time Brill! Just think what you could have done if you'd not had to stop. Keep up the hard work even if its just for your own fun and fitness level.

Look forward to the next video.
