There are very many Irish Dance schools all over the UK and the world....brilliant to watch 👏👏👏👏
I tried an Irish dancing class eighteen years ago. I'm still going :) I can't leave, it's too much fun
Most likely the sound was cut off due to copyright laws and yes they are part of a dance crew as such but they are part of the Irish dance school
I will never understand how these amazing dancers are able to remember and perfectly recall all of insane number of steps and their correct order - especially to keep in such perfect synchronisation as they do!! It's so amazing and fun to watch! Just gets you right in the mood to do some dancing yourself! :)
David Struve bare in mind also that 90% of irish stepdancing is solo,yet they are still able to come together like this.
@@gallowglass2630 Oh yeah, that's a good point. Amazing right?! My aunt used to be a tap-dancer back in her youthful days and she even won competitions. I wish I could have seen her at her height.
You just memorize it. I can’t explain. Timing is the most important thing to learn and once you know it, you can dance with a group with ease. Another thing to note is that these kids are doing pretty simple steps making it easier to stay in time. In solos it’s more complex.
Irish Dancing is so impressive! The music is wonderful, the synchronicity on point. It blows my mind every time
Hi Steve it’s Irish dancing & taught from beginning of their childhood!
I’m a Brit living in Australia & there are dance schools here that teach Irish ☘️ dancing!
No wonder you legs were going it’s in the blood ! I’m sure it must be taught in
U S !
You must watch River dance it’s amazing!
Just because I'm from Ireland I'm probably biest but Irish Dancing with the music is the most intertertaining in the world. It has stood the test of time, hundreds of years while we were opresssed by the British and thousands of hours of practice. From every City to tiny village has a dancing school. It was there ever before Riverdance or Feet of Flames but Flatley and Whelan definitely put it Global. Absolutely enthralling. 👍👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪, Thanks for sharing 👍
There is also a brilliant flash mob in Bristol of Zorba the Greek
It was organised by the University of Bristol and the University of the West Country Greek and Cypriot societies
There are lots of these all over CZcams mostly choirs
A good word to describe these things is 'JOYFUL'
this music and dancing realy puts you in a very happy mood i just love the lrish and there music and dancing
The dance school is named McGahan-Lees. They belong to the CLRG organization which is the biggest Irish dance body.
I absolutely love Irish dance...on my next visit to see my friend there in Ireland im requesting a night of Irish dance..😊
The Scottish Highland Fling is somewhat in the same area as this type of dancing. I learned in when I was a teenager.
I still have a copy of the video where the music didn’t cut out
Irish Dance is always so fascinating to me because it looks like they've never heard of gravity.
Or arms 😂
@@101steel4 that was so the English could not tell we were dancing ,when passed windows and or over walls hedges as they barred it...
There must be plenty of Irish dancing classes in the US. As most people living there claim to be Irish 😁
Irish dance is in North America. Mum of two Canadian Irish dancers who just danced at the World Championships in Montreal in April.
Your f u c k I n g right there lad
I mean, Michael Flatley and Jean Butler are both Americans.
I started Irish dance at 3yrs old and continued into my early 20's.
I love it as do my children and grandchildren but I will say it catches up to you later, I have many issues with my legs, hip, spine and feet which I'm told by my gp is a direct result of it.
It's an Irish dance school for sure as those dancers are of various levels. xx
The sound might have been blocked on the second song by youtube due to music copyright restrictions in different countries, just a thought!
I think the music was cut for copyright issues. These events are often sponsored by the Irish Tourism Board to promote Ireland or Irish companies overseas hence all the white tshirts at the end
We started irish dancing from aged about 5. It's not unusual in Ireland. Later we had a lot of fun set dancing (another kind of Irish dance) all over Ireland.
So chuffed (pleased) you chose this one to watch- I was someone who suggested it to you (though there may well be others, of course).
No idea what happened to the music- it was all there when I watched it a few weeks ago?
The reason the Irish airline ad was there is, I think, because it was an event sponsored by them.
Lol, my hometown. I used to work at Lakeside. To the right of the lift on the second floor - a jewellery store. Looking in the crowds to see if I recognise anyone 😂
Tapped so hard the music cut off 😂😂
What a miserable lot in the audience, how can you not smile? love Riverdance.
looks like lakeside shopping center in essex lol thanks for the video keep up the good work mate 👍
You should Google guiness brewery irish dancers with drummer flash mob. They put on a fantastic show, enjoy. Debbie from Dublin, 🇮🇪
We learn it in school and some people join a club and enter competitions. We stop learning it when we go to secondary school (high school)
I'm fro. Northern ireland I did irish dancing when I was a kid
I think the music went perhaps due to copyright. It is possible to learn Irish dancing in America. Michael Flatley creator of Riverdance is American and learned his Irish dancing in America first before getting extra training with an expert in Ireland later on. I am Scottish and we have Scottish Highland dancing where on some dances they dance over crossed swords on the floor. Many Scottish have Irish heritage so you can learn both styles but most people focus on one style.
❤😂 every irish child learns to dance not all keep it up some go pro.😊 yes the music is in my soul! Its like your US tap but no arms swinging😅🇮🇪 best wishes
Huge Irish dancing community in every state in America
You would love the song "The Foggy Dew" by Sinead O'Connor and the Chieftains
There is nearly as much irish dancing outside ireland as in it,because of the huge irish diaspora.Its something that continues through the generations as you can see here this is in england and these kids probably have irish parents or grandparents.Its the same in america irish americans have continued on the tradition.They are also dances like clogging and flatfooting from america that developed from irish and scottish dances.
You should check out Set dancing at a Ceili.
Hours of real fun.
The best Flash Mob by far was the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Greenacres shopping centre about twelve years ago Steve. Just watch it - the faces of the onlookers enjoying the experience just brightens up the dreariest day, and the singing in harmony was brilliant.
you could always ask the audience if there are any locals willing to teach you
We learn early I Ireland. I started classes at 4 years old, but apparently I learnt moves before that. My grand daughter started at 5 years. We often have a dance session. I,m 69 and it keeps me going and keeps me slim.
Check out clog dancing and Morris dancing too
These dancers are at an Irish dance school
I live in Essex close to lakeside shopping centre (mall), not seen this there though:')
I lived within 10 miles of lakeside for 49 years.
You should watch ...Take the floor flashmob dublin airport...the dancers are fab
Steve, if you love Irish Dancing then check out the Gardiner Brothers videos and shorts.
Look up the one and only Michael Flatley his show Feet of flames one of the best things I have watched . I think at the time he had the fastest feet for dancing
never too old to give it a try. I used to live in ireland and sometimes in the backroom of pubs they organize irish dance for all ages and skill level, including newbies, everyone is welcome. you just go there on the day, have a pint (irish glass of beer) and join the fun. also, I'm pretty sure google can tell you where to find schools or maybe even local events in your region. after all, there a countless americans of irish heritage, so many that you even got a st.patrick's parade. 🍀🌈🤗
The original video had music throughout.
Did you ever see the original T-Mobile flashmob in London?
Where's the music gone?
Since you showed it 2 weeks ago, there are
loads on youtube now,one were a toddler tries to copy the younger lad and girls.
OMG Essex - I grew up in Basildon But I escaped !
Where to?
I lived in London and escaped to Essex* lol. Just shows how bad London is.
*Not basildon 😂
@@101steel4 Born in Mile End and they moved us out to a new town and called it Basildon and then they forgot they had built it and it fell apart and then they built it again ! now in Bromley via Plaistow, Elephant and Castle.
@@raythomas4812 I'd still rather live in Basildon tbh. I really can't stand London these days. Even hate visiting family there.
Here is a load of clips of more recent modern irish dancing, they are mostly short clips but all well morth a watch to react

I managed to get to stage three of Irish dancing but couldn't progress - I could never get the arm movements right!
Your never too old to learn,you can learn it on u tube to practice then go to next level I’m IRISH 🇮🇪
Essex is in England. I know I live there lol
Also famously home of the Mayflower.
They also have costumes specific to the Irish.
Flipping copyright laws by artists and CZcams going overboard.. ..spoils so many things. I hate it !!
This is Irish dancing. In Lancashire and Yorkshire a form of this is called clogging. Its the roots from which tap dancing originated. There are classes anywhere there is a strong Irish community.
GUINESS IN AMERICA IS ALSO BREWED WITH AMERICAN WATER IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE!
Another Eurovison Interval which is brilliant Don't go by the Hothouse Flowers (1988)
💯💯🔥🔥👍
Yes it's a pity the music cut out. There aer two main styles of Irish music: the slow more mournful kind and the jigs, like this. There are places in the US that teach `Irish dancing. There are short videos I keep seeing of two brothers who were/are part of the Riverdance troupe. They dance to various modern songs and it's a lot of fun. Tehy're called the Gardiner Brothers and appear to be twins, but may not be, and are US born of Irish heritage. Worth checking out. :)
You should watch "Steps of Freedom". It's the story of the history of Irish dancing.
Steve you should check out the Gardiner Brothers tow bros from Galway they up on CZcams do shorts and long ,..along with modern songs .
In England we used to do country dancing at school? Did everyone have to do that?
Oh yes. Hated it lol.
Grab you partner by the hand and dance round the ring 😂😂
My feet were going too Steve.
You should have a look at Gaelic games ,hurling and gaelic football which are a huge part of irish identity and are still among irelands most popular sports.Generally you should do more sport ,apart from motor sport you haven't really done much on sport.While motor sport has a big following its still fairly niche, you should have a look at the most popular sports in UK and Ireland aswell which you haven't except for football chants.
Well in the USA THE POPULATION THAT CAN CLAIM IRISH ANCESTRY IS IN THE 10S OF MILLIONS SO LOTS OF PLACES TO TRY IRISH DANC🇨🇮
Irish dancing in a station in Australia czcams.com/video/z0QBu4VOAC4/video.html or the longest line 1693 in Dublin czcams.com/video/66ZKf6qeG54/video.html
I suspect the music changed and they possibly used the Riverdance music and it was copyrighted
They probably got copyright stricken for the music unfortunately coz the music changed to modern dance music as I remember seeing this before it was silenced. How dare you silence the Irish CZcams!!!
Check out Michael Flatleys Lord of the Dance or Feet of Flames (he is the male dancer in the first Riverdance show. Personally, I think that Lord of the Dance is so much better than Riverdance.
I reckon the Irish communities in the US know exactly where you can learn The Irish dance, i’m sure they will teach you.
Oh and check out the video '5am at an Irish wedding'
I'll check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
Happy St George's day 🏴
By the dance steps it could be copyright for river dance that's why music of
There are others like this with British military bands.
There are lots of different Flash Dancing Videos, not just Irish.There are Flash Dances from all the Emergency Services, from the Military to secret Marrage Proposals.
WHAT WE CALL A HOT DAY IS WAY COOLER THAN IT WOULD BE FOR YOU, A REALLY HOT DUMMERS DAY HERE WOULD BE ABOUT 26c SO AROUND 79f FOR YOU
How was this a flash mob? The area was cleared and the crowds were already there.
In the UK I know of a space in a shopping mall which is not a walkway. No one wd walk through it day to day.
check out Clannad
feature irish dotvillearmy un peace keeping mision in africa particularly the siege of Jadotville the film is close to the truth I know as my unit relieved these gallant men
Gallant men treated very badly
They were treated soo bad, it was shameful
Look up Michael Flatley.
The thing they never show you is when they are practising they always hold a carrier bag full of potatoes in each hand to stop them waving their arms around.
You're joking right? LOL
@@reactingtomyroots More of a jibe than a joke.I wouldn't heed it or give him any oxygen
Thank you. I really enjoyed this.
Can’t believe you haven’t seen an dance flash mob before.
I don’t know if this falls into your scope, as it is not from the British Isles or is Irish dancing - but this Dance flash mob is brilliant
czcams.com/video/s_hlvRNgGOQ/video.html
I think the music went because of copyright!
Mob = a bunch😅😅😅
not really a flash mob, a flash mob is meant to be unexpected with 1 or 2 starting, then it looks like everyone is dancing, this was sealed off and they come in 1 at a time, not unexpected
Take a look at Scottish dancing too.
Might have been a copyright © thing
Is it copy rights
Dont know what happened to your music on that i have watched that video several times with no issue .
Irish dancing has been done to death here now, mainly because of Riverdance. People in the dancing community love it but I think increasingly in the general populace its seen as a bit of a joke..., a bit like Monty Pythons Ministry of silly walks..
Yeah I've never seen the attraction personally. Looks like there's something wrong with their arms lol
@@101steel4 A lot of irish dance purists don't like it either.I prefer the older forms like Sean nos,ceili and set dance which allow free movement of the arms.There has been allegations which are almost certainly true of fixing in the competitions,plus it has become about the best dressed dancer not the best dancer.
Copyright when a famous song is played. Happens all the time on CZcams.
Maybe copyright reasons for the music.
never in MERICA
It's quite cool n that, but it just looks like they are impersonating people with no arms. Freaks me tf out.
You said you wanted some Irish music, well give this a listen, you'll love it !
