Watch your directions in the second step. Yo rounding out your turns. Other than that, not too bad.

Hahaha I know! I was such a cheater like that! I did this step last weekend at the Quechee highland games cause I'm too out of shape to do reverse points, and in my head all I was saying was "don't turn, don't turn, don't turn, TURN NOW!"

Im looking for a video of the sword dance with the diagonal point step in it. Anyone know of one?

[highrishdancer]

Try my video of the Swords from the Glengarry highland games. We do it as the 2nd step there.

This is so awesome... I luv the kilt and IT DOES NOT look funny :)

[highrishdancer]

Thank you haha! I'm really excited because I have a new one in the works. I've had this one for 5 years now!

So nice to see a bloke doing a sword dance. No offence to the lassies but this was a warrior dance and it is a wee bit sad that so few men still do it.

Saor Alba gu brath!

@aliancemd I honestly don't know either.

@0XScourgeX0 Lol, u totally deviated from the idea...

@aliancemd What? I understand the languages part with the difference being accents, but what's your point? I speak russian and I live in america. I mean, there are differences, but highrishdancer is saying that he worked with moldovians, but they referred to romanian. How many people are in the world? 6.8 billion, there's gonna be different opinions. The point is, I stopped you from arguing. the end.

You think that's bad... last year at Cowal, I was so afraid I'd screw up my turns that I did four points instead of a turn at the end of my toe and heel step. -_- Oh the fun of highland dancing.
