Great solo tap. The group dancing step is an elaborated version of the Clare batter which people do all over Ireland, without taps and which should traditionally be done close to the floor in a light but hammring style. Ye cutties wud make a fair impression on any sets floor! Come on yez girls! Excellent stuff.
I think i need to address a few things as a formerly competative Irish Dancer. First off this is not Irish at all. This style is called French-Canadian Stepdancing and developed on its own in the lumber camps of Quebec. While the style may look Irish, it developed fully right here in Canada.
@morigue I learn step dancing weekly from Chrissy Quigley- one of the Leahys. And knowing both Donnell and Natalie quite well I can say without a doubt that the style is French-Canadian. Regardless- can we just appreciate the talent involved nonetheless?
Ya like who said it was Irish dancing, Check Out Sean Nos Dancing, this is the correct and oldest form of dance from ireland, irish dancing Developed from sean nos. you will see that what is danced here and sean nos is alike........
They make Irish dancing look so much fun, without the stiff look. Beautiful dancing!
Finding this group, was the best thing about goin to Halifax to open that call center. thanks for sharing
simply awesome ! and all the Leahy girls are gorgeous too!
This music is so relaxing and awsome, I would love to see them in concert.
I find the music and the sound of the step dancing so relaxing in this piece. :)

@andyw7wind
Most of the set uses a tune called 'The Star of Munster'
It's the concentration face - almost all musicians (and drummers) have one.
@djwhiteraven
