Does anyone know the name of this style of dancing? Haven't seen such fast-paced partner dancing in the Irish tradition before!

[@mariapalmer5671]

Camilla E . Is it not some kind of country/ barn dance , similar to the Scottish country dances , eg the dashing white Sargent etc

[@siobhankennedy9511]

Is there still that much people in Ireland that speaks Irish?

[@MonaLisa-lu8zi]

We use it on our family walk which is almost daily. Sometimes we use it at dinner.

[@shauncorr7205]

There are still places over the West of the country that speak it day to day.

[@A.Qazzaz]

@@shauncorr7205 very glad to hear that the language is still alive, in my opinion i think every Irish person must be able to speak fluent Irish.

A far cry from Riverdance.
