      The tapping is pre recorded in a studio. Which means no deviation from the choreography when performing to sync the footwork with the sound track.

      ​@@nitacorderoy4394 Not an expert, but the short version is that in the 17th century the Catholic church banned Irish dancing, claiming it was evil. However, there was a loophole where it was only considered dancing if you moved BOTH your arms and legs. Consequently, the Irish invented a dance that didn't use your arms.

    It only just hit me why I find Riverdancing so cool, besides the obvious. The sound that they build up takes precision and skill but when you have a dozen or more people replicating the steps it comes to sound like a train barreling down the tracks. It becomes its own force of nature and it is only with the same skill to make the sound that the dancers manage to rein it in and direct the potential chaotic energies into something controlled. It is very much like trying to navigate down a wild river in a canoe or on a raft. The accompaniment from the drums and fiddles provides a sense of adventure and danger, and the punctuated steps are like man’s sparks of clarity in the midst of chaos. He learns to work with the energy in order to come out safely at the end.

      you might be surprised how many dances you have in common - because we all have shared dancing with our cultures for centuries. I dont think people realize how many movements in their "traditional" dances actually come from the sharing that happens over time. It's not bad - i Just think if you look closely at the dances where you are from - you might find something similar. I just watched a very interesting documentary about Irish Dancing. If you're fascinated - you should, too! 😃

They wake me up and keep me up. Sometimes they shake the ground like their fighting. I live in nice apartments too. Anyways, I may take up Irish dancing. I’ll start practicing at seven or eight am. That should be awful for them since they go to bed at 4am. Thank you for the idea!

    Wonderful that this form of dance is so accepted nowadays. In years gone by, in 17C, 18C, and early 19C this was outlawed by the ruling British empire state, as was the playing / singing of traditional Irish music / songs. To be caught meant imprisonment, deportation or death!

These dancers are the best in the world , enjoy watching them. just dance in your kitchen, or keep taking classes, if you love it.Meanwhile, if you even see this, and are a bit fed up and going nowhere, there's only now. Here's a couple of dance videos to cheer you up -- ( well, not strictly dance perfect, more trying and not trying). 1 old, 1 young.

    in an age of so much meaningless trash in performing arts, this is outstanding. How so many people remember the whole act and carry it out in almost perfect co-ordination is a testimony to their outstanding commitment, ability and passion. credit to Mr Flatley and his original vision and commitment as well as all those who have preformed these routines all over the world. I think in the history of entertainment this must surely be amongst the most outstanding.

      You sound like an awesome parent..forcing your kids to do something so you can live vicariously through them. Loser. Do it and they'll resent you and dancing forever. Promise you that.

      @@AVGyerra22 we have a defense force, of about 12,000 (army, navy, air force) that can deal with any paramilitary or stop any drugs operations, but their main job is with the UN. Irish soldiers make up most of the forces in Cyprus and Lebanon. We are a neutral country however, so we are not in any military alliance such as NATO. Under our constitution, we don't declare war, or join in any war unless we are attacked.

    WATCHING THIS ON RUclips OR ON TV IS MARVELOUS.. BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE IN A THEATER TO SEE THIS LIVE AND NOT ONLY SEE AND HEAR THIS, BUT ACTUALLY FEEL THEIR POWER AND RYTHMS, AND EXPERIENCE THE EMOTIONS. AFTER THE SHOW I WAS STUNNED SPEECHLESS.
