Downfall of Paris 108

Since I'm getting it changed, I thought I'd film my old set dance. Downfall of Paris 108...ugh I got so tired! blah. My toestand is retarded. And that heel turn is UGLY! I liked this set though...The best I danced it was at the Oireachtas.

hey! im a dancer but ive never done irish so i was just wondering if you guys use tap shoes or what?

@ilovemymarine221 Hey there! Many people think we use tap shoes, but they are actually quite different. We call them hard shoes, and they have a heel and a tip on the bottom, usually quite thick and made of fiberglass. If you do an internet search of "Irish dance hard shoe" you should be able to find some images. (I wasn't able to post a link here) Hope that helps!

The heel turn is not lovely, but it looks very difficult to do at all. I don't know how far you are supposed to rotate, it was not definite, more like a passing flourish. The toe spin was impressive. I enjoyed all of it, Thanks!

haha yeah that heel turn's a tricky one! lucky for me it's not in my new set :P

[xxxxirishdancerx]

you are a very good dancer and your posture is great and your arms are excellent but try and be more agressive and when your cutting for example make it sharp and make the endings sharp. try not to treble outwards, treble infront with turned out feet. ure a relii gud dancer thoo :). u did very well there. on your light dancing keep your knees tight and arch and point ure toes. but ure a very gud dancer indeed :D xxx

[dancertoes]

Watch that your body doesnt move when you're clciking. Very Good =]

Just cross your feet more on your trebles and you'll be great!!
