- the St. Joseph's Irish Dancers performing a slipjig called Fairy Dance performed to an irish song called THE BUTTERFLY. The music was recorded specially for the dancers by a local celtic music group. hope you enjoy it =)
i m very fond of this kind of dance ! big hello from France.
my mum was a world Irish Champion - its lovely
to the person who does not like the dresses: these are Traditional dresses of Irish colleens (girls) which go back hundreds of years. This is part of the Irish culture. Before making lame comments, study up on the history of Ireland.
ahh. Irish Dancing just fascinates me :)
Brought tears
The dresses had some beautiful detailing on them :)
wery nice dance. God save the Ireland.
fada beo ireland !!!!! (Long Live Ireland!)
Wow that was great, i loved it, thanks so much for posting
i remember doing this in my irish dancing class i thought it was one of the best and including the walls of limerick simple but nice!
well done its great
@votevimto The dresses are a traditional type of dress for Irish dancing. They've been using similar dresses for centuries.
This first tune is called "Kid on the Mountain". Change to the "Butterfly" from at 1:52.
The first tune is called "kid on the mountain" and the second one is "the butterfly" ;)
@shellyhathaway Not always. My whole dance club has dresses the same length as that. It's standard in our club. They only get shorter when you start going to nationals and ADA. We have dresses that are an inch below the knee as well, but they're for displays and are semi-medieval. I enjoy displays so much more than competition. You girls dance great by the way!

hey guys :) so, I know people are always thrown off by our dresses when they see them. yes, they are an EXTREMELY traditional cut and style. because each dress is made for the girl wearing it, it's hard at times to get uniform "waist" lines and length, but since we aren't competitive dancers and just do showcases, people usually don't get too distracted. I hope you still were able to enjoy the video, because we love to dance no matter what we're wearing :)

Hey guys :) we aren't a competitive dance group, we just dance as a hobby. it's a lot of fun! our dancing isn't professional, but we stay on beat and we have a GREAT time doing this together. wish you could have enjoyed the video more!
hey!!hi there! I irish dance too for glendarragh academy and you're right, this isnt a tricky style of dancing to learn. if you have the oppurtunity then i suggest you go with it! x
@trinityirishdancers
they saw us dance one year and invited us to dance live at their concerts with them. they started recording pieces for us so we could choreograph. this is one of the dances we would have done at their live performances :) it was lots of fun!!
It's great to see something other than "Riverdance". Thank you for posting the vid :)
as for the length of the dress: some are long, some are short. There is variation in the costume. The original dresses were wool & rather heavy, all hand made & embroidered. Now there are different fabrics used and they are more mass produced sometimes.
This is lovely!
to the one who asks if you can be Mexican & perform Irish dance: Of course. There is an Irish dance troupe in Brooklyn NY made up entirely of non-Irish girls & boys. They are black, East Indian & Latino. the teacher is from Ireland. They are called Celtic Dream. Look up on You Tube.
@17lebanesedude
I'm glad you enjoyed it :) the Irish Culture has many beautiful elements.
Same to you!
@Sambabe19
yeah, that happens sometimes when the live band gives us the music Lol
To the little one in the centre, remember to cross your feet!!
@DanniesWorld17
well we like having the gold pleats and the way it looks when we twirl =)
@Sarbanda
I understand what you mean about them being shorter Lol we always have mixed feelings about the longer length :) but thank you very much
@rbsadler
I understand Lol we feel the same way sometimes. but glad you enjoyed the dancing! :)
@Emikero
I'm glad you enjoyed it :) thanks!
@Rcpengy123 I did Irish step dancing when I was younger it's really not hard especially if you have a good teacher
is this type of dancing hard to learn? i've always wanted to learn to dance like this
I'm Polish and I love Irish culture cause I practically grew up in a part of North America where most of my clasmates and neighbours were of Irish descent. So sad to see the Irish in Ireland hate the Polish so much.
Do they? I’d hate to think that was true.
@jebus0000000
hopefully we can all find a way to live and enjoy life together one day. but I hope you enjoyed the video :)
How did you get the Celtic group to make music specifically for this performance?
Great
@jebus0000000
That's not true. Where did you hear that?
@grangma I know these are traditional dresses, but there are PLENTY of traditional dresses with true waists. Older girls need the pleats to open at the true waist or you can't see their leg lines properly and it just isn't a flattering cut on girls with breasts. Also, I didn't say anything about their hair. I much prefer the natural hair to the 80s mega perm.
yes you can :) there are mexican girls in my class! anybody can do it!
@Rcpengy123
it's actually not very difficult if you stay committed and practive. I've had lots of fun learning, but it's just a hobby for me, I'm not a competitive dancer. you should look for a school in your area!
umm.. That song from the start is called "kid on the mountain" . The butterfly is a completely different tune. You got the title wrong. Look it up for yourself.
@gurlUBtripN Of course! Nothing against your dancing, I thought it was beautiful! I just personally enjoy seeing leg lines more
yep! about 6 feet tall :) and yeah, she missed a couple of practices so that part was a bit foggy.
@smilibear17 Ehm, then you obviously don't listen to the music... Because these Irish tunes are definitely slipjigs. Perhaps you're used to other slipjig dances, that is a possibility. But then still, the tunes are slipjigs. The dances are called slipjigs, because de music is a slipjig rythm, savvy...
I agree, beautiful dresses! But a wee bit shorter would do good, because then you can see the dancing better. It doesn't need to be really short, though. Just a wee bit. :-)
@votevimto well some dances have loads of energy but some don,t
@oberek92
bonjour from america! ;)
EIRE agus an CEOL abu GO DEO !!!!
A few things to say. @ DanniesWorld17: If you call those dresses long then you have never dirty danced in floor lenght formals and stelettos. Those dresses are short, okay?
And also, lol part of one of the skips looked like the 'jerk'. Not to make fun of your very nice dancing, but it just reminded me of it. So all in all very good.

Oh i really like ur dance .. But why is ur dresses soo long?!
r butterfly jig was really fast :S
I love it... but some of you are a bit flat footed at some points and I'm not sure the dresses help show off your dancing? Love the music though :)
@animalcrazysineadc dude thats what me irish country wears around there so dont get to full of yourself lad!
Wow, you are tall. Also your partner forgot to still dance I'm pretty sure lol.
@MegaVlad666 A lot of extremely racist comments here on youtube but maybe it's just these trolls who write things like that though.
@irishdancer602 And yet I still think it's a wonderful video....
Perhaps you should practice your typing as well....
These are obviously beginners. Good though.
Myself I've been dancing for fourteen years.
Nicely done, good crosses and lifts but those dresses are way too long. you don't see much of your legs, so it kind of makes it look a bit sloppy even though it isn't.
@rbsadler sry these are traditional irish dresses and real hair.....nowadays the young children wear gosh awful heavy fake wigs and they look like barbie dolls.......pretty disgusting......
@grangma I know it seems like society is making everything trashy nowadays......I would not have thought that Irish people/families would approve of the way their children are exploited.....I know my parents would never have permitted the dresses or wigs........
Great dance! Sooo distracted by their awful dresses though! Older/bigger girls need dresses with waists! You can't see their lines at all in waist-less sacks!
Why are your dresses so long? And you should really try and put energy into your dances
A little boring!
