    Josh is amazing! So powerful. And a kind, kind person.
    And that dance floor happens to be a temporary modular floor over an uneven warehouse asphalt. It shakes in the most challenging way and has an uphill and a downhill along the outer edge. ;-)

      You always look at the swords lol, they never teach you to look away. I guess it would take a lot of skill though!

    Very talented you lad there. Nice footwork considering how bouncy that stage was!

    I've never seen that first step before. I've only ever seen pas de basques to turn on the corners before. Looks like he used to dance (and was pretty good) a long time ago and did this from memory.

    I enjoy listening to Scottish music (even though my heritage is sort of Irish, German, French, etc.) I love the sounds of bagpipes and I even to do the Scottish sword dance myself... with plastic swords that is. much safer. otherwise, neat video! ^-^

    It took ages but I found it.
    A clip with a bloke dancing and no women in kilts!
    Hey all you Americans who are more obsessive about being Scottish than any Scot...women don't wear kilts. Okay? Thanks:)

      @drrd4127 Před rokem +3

      Women did actually wear a Arisaid which is basically a great kilt for women! But it was buckled up to contour their skirt and worn a bit different. Yeah, you should read some history mate!
      I from Kilysth, Lanarkshire by the way so definitely Scottish myself.

    Good thing he didn't touch those swords. Wouldn't want to kill his family. ;P It's not an easy dance and the bouncy stage doesn't help.

    @2sick2care I'm American but I know this. I think Americans may simply be confused because they see the female highland dancers in those pleated tartan skirts. My ancestry is mostly scottish but I frankly don't like the whole tartan thing, it's really not my style anyway. I am also aware that is said that tartans being registered to families in a recent invention, and so on and so forth etc.

      Do you enjoy talking about yourself, why d'you think others are interested? Nothing useful in your comment, let's hope for your sake you have evolved since.
