    Having been a competitive Irish dancer for many years, it's so interesting to see the differences (besides the obvious use of arms and strict straight knees). Irish involves more of very quick, fancy footwork and swift leaps, whereas highland focuses on powerful leg control and long-drawn out jumps. Both are unique and beautiful, and I wish I had taken more than just a couple introductory highland lessons back when I was still dancing!

      @@LucyBrownless Nope, that is not the Highland Fling it's correct name is the Hullachan, or in layman's terms the Irish Jig representing an Irish washerwoman giving it laldy. The male version has him twirling around the shillelagh.

    Thus is not a jig it is a Strathspey and Reel. Sorry for my spelling. The second dance is an Irish Jig. I am afraid the footwork and stamina need more training. Ballet girls works wonders for ones core.
