  • I love this dance the rocks is my favorite part. Theres a few steps they did that Ive never seen before but I guess thats cause its scotland its like when I see canadian dancers I get confused cause they have different steps. The name of the dance is sailors hornpipe not the tune many highland dancers are done to multiple different tunes.

  • Thanks!  Well these are actually Canadian Scottish dancers, so that could be your reason :P

  • from the 2008 SOBHD

    1st is the circle with an alternate break

    2nd the scissors or sailor's buckle

    3rd look-out

    4th run and cable haul

    5th rocking

    6th is half the inverted toe heel and the second half of the high cutting step.

    And for Nankuranaisa101, those are actually some of the most complicated hornpipe steps and as an SDTA qualified teacher, I still find a few of them difficult. The dancers in the video did very well putting the steps together and dancing them.

  • I love this ^^ they look so light on their feet, looks hard...

  • @jagdpanther1944 It's actually Irish, Scottish, and English.

  • still my youtube homepage! after a few years now, just have to watch and listen evertime! love it!

  • It is Irish, not scottish!

  • Tune is The Drunken Piper.

  • 1:22 starts my favourite part! I love that leg shaking thing. Looks like so much fun!

  • I've been looking thru all the Youtube versions of Sailor's Hornpipe to find one that looked "right" but after about 20 so-so's I happened to see this one.

    It is so well done and with just the right timing and enthusiasm by these girls that it just "clicks". Very well done! I can watch it over and over without getting bored.

    Thanks for posting, and thanks to these ladies for showing us how the Sailors' Hornpipe is meant to be danced.

  • It`s strange and funny :)

  • HARRR!!

  • sailor's only source of exercise on board a year-long voyage!

  • My Scottish roots are calling me home!
