I am an Irish dancer, and watching this makes me so sad to see how Irish dance has evolved. The grace, the elegance and the pure musicality of this performance makes me wish that I had learned Irish dance in the 1980s. This is when the dance was about rhythm and before Irish dancers tried to pound out their beats or before the back beat became the only emphasized beat. This video is utterly magical.

I love Jean Butler! She's what got me inspired to start dancing, and I'm sure also inspired tons of other ppl.

Sharon Shannon (of Galway Girl fame w/ Steve Earle) and Jean Butler-what a combo! Two of my favorites!! Jean, no one could do Riverdance like you. You made Michael Flatley look good! Thanks for the upload Phil.

Wow you can see where the dance gets it's influence from all those black haired sailors from the Spanish Armada

@enm97 I know I saw that and was like "what the crap!" what is he even saying to her. given he's without the mullet apparently this is after riverdance and i can't imagine them being on friendly terms... ever

@theirshdame I used to be an irish dancer too...I love Jean and her style!!
-
@IsabelleMarinozzi oh please...what an insult. michael is panting at the end of his routines and captivates the audience, jean just pretends to be dancing.
-
@theirshdame too much grace here. all jean ever does is skirt around, flirt with dancing a bit and then spin around slide. there's a reason she never looks exhausted at the end of her routines: she's not doing much!
