  • So the guy on the right left only because he kicked a sword ?? (I'm sorry I don't really know how these competitions work ! =S) Thats too bad, because I guess like in every kinds of dancing there are very few boys...?

  • @BritishItalian yea, he knew he got disqualified, so in a championship like this, there really was no point in wasting energy. True, women dominate most forms of dance, but highland dancing actually is a male form of dance... only in the past 100 years have women been allowed to highland dance. crazy right?!

  • Wow! Nice vid... Great dancing, great skill, gorgeous!!

    This is surely the best sword dancing vid I have ever seen so far in youtube... Breathtaking performance, for sure.

    Congratulations!!!

  • Wow thank you so much! Unfortunately I didn't place at that competition, but I definitely danced my best :)

  • Great!! Very good job! And that guy, has he left the stage?

  • Yes, he left because he kicked the sword. Poor Steve :( He really is a great dancer!

  • good stuff, dont you get calf strains or cramps from this?

  • Having danced this dance - about 35 or so years ago, it brought back fond memories. You did a beautiful job! It made me want to get back on my feet and try all over again!

    Good luck in your dancing career - or hobby.

  • Those hilts are INTENSE!!!

  • You have so much power and stamina, and still look elegant, well done! :-) xoxo

  • OMG how can you do extendeds so well??? they are amazing!! WOW!

  • Wow, it had to take many hours of hard work to make it look so perfect and effortless.

    Great dancing!

  • God almighty! I now understand why men don't do that dabce!

  • Hi, How do you know when your ready for competitions? I started nearly a year ago and so far i know Fling, Swords, Sean Tribuas, Reel, Lilt and Flora?

    Is that above average for someone who started less than a year ago or is it quite bad?
