Wow! How fun! I've never seen different disciplines of dance performed together like this. What a unique and clever way to show off the differences and similarities in style!
the cloggers were my favorite they Definately look like they are having the most fun and they didn't look all stiff and uptight or out of step with each other. their sound was distinct and fun.
The first season of So You Think You Can Dance, there was a clogger. The judges had no idea what it was and thought the person was trying to do tap dancing, but wasn't really doing it. That made me realize the judges were restricted in their view about dance and were going to exclude any chance to dancers who did not conform to their narrow outlook. They of course rejected the clog dancer. It would have been understandable if they gave advertisements, on what they actually were looking for, instead of asking people to open auditions, which wasted the time of dancers of different styles.
@@alanguages ughhh so you think you can dance was about finding the best overall dancer. Usually they would jave unorthodox dancers go to the dance in trials at the end of regular auditions of the day to see if they went to vegas.
@@pennydropper6875 They weren't looking for the best overall dancers. They were looking for specific type of people, that could dance the styles the judges knew. Seriously, they had no idea what clog dancing was and thought the girl was trying to do some sort of tap dancing, but wasn't sure exactly.
@@pennydropper6875 Only genres the judges knew about, which they could market. It was a cookie cutter type of auditions. Anything outside of their knowledge, they did not want to even consider. That is how American Idol is also. Only specific type of songs and music genres they want for marketing reasons. That is why they eventually put restrictions on age limits and type of songs to be sung. The clone versions did something similar in Canada.
I like how each group shows their style of dance, but I Love how they come together and show their unity! How I wish, hope and pray that people would do the same! We are all unique persons, family, tribes,and color. Yet we are all humans and can unite in America to celebrate what our constitution affords. We can go on then to Bless other nations!
Wow wow wow wow that was awesome brought tears to my eyes all this performance does not happen easily and I know it takes a lot of practice thank you guys for putting in the time effort and thank you for having the talent and God bless you all
I like the Irish because they don't move their arms. Tapping flails a lot. Clogging half flails. Irish is like nope, not today satan. Arms ain't movin'.
Clogging is amazing and so is Irish Step. My girls clog and are amazing, my cousins are Irish Step dancers and my cousin just won first at the world clogging championship. I was a tap dancer and clogging is way harder
clogging, because its a dance anyone can do at anyone's house. roll up the rugs, break out the mountain dew and banjos and fiddles, have yourself a time. all of which were imported from ireland a few hundred years ago.
I think cloggers aren't supposed to move their arms, though. I think the guys hold one arm bent in front of their midsection. These aren't professionals, I think.
I like them all, I am an irish dancer but I kind of wish the irish did some more advanced steps here then they would of have won I reckon but all of them are so talented. 😊
Cool comparison video. If you've watched advanced Irish dancing they seem to have a wider variety and range of movements compared to the other two. Tappers swing their legs and bodies forward and back, Irish dancers criss cross their legs with a straight posture and cloggers tend to lift their knees up with an upright posture.
I love them all. But I must admit that I love the green Irish clover best. They just look at look more fluid and clean. Just my opinion. They all had fun and is a credit to the art. 💖💖💖
Tap isn't even even in the competition lol. I've done tap and clogging and clogging is way more difficult, and I've heard Irish step is as well. But clogging is always going to be my favorite but that's just because it's part of my southern culture and heritage lol
Everyone needs to remember that dance is an expressive art form for all individuals. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. No one's opinion is right or wrong. I am also a fellow dancer of other dance forms including tap. However, I respect all dance forms and have always wanted to learn clogging and Irish step. Remember that dance evolves from expressions of cultures and can also be away for different cultures to learn about other cultures.
I do not see how clogging and tap did not come from Irish dance yet experts have said there is no connexion. I am very glad to see this video. I have done Celtic dance years ago before River Dance made everything a lot more complicated.
This was really good/impressive. What brought this great performance down to me was the Lack of Excitment and Energy from the Audience. Very moderate standard cheering and applause. This should have been a Standing Ovation.
I would give it to the Irish step because it was more coordinated and unified making an overall smoother and more powerful sound. Tap gave a happy but all over the place sound while clogging was competitive but a little off sync
I think you must not know clogging to say they were out of sync. The Irish were out if syc and definitely tap. Clogging has 8 taps on their shoes so you head a more complex sound.
@@romishafranks I don't know anything about any of it and haven't watched any more videos on it since I posted this but out of respect for their teamwork I just spoke on who looked more coordinated. I will say the others had more character which probably made being coordinated a little harder
I like the tap the best as a form of dance art, because it is exciting and uses the whole body. I think the Irish step dancing requires more skill and precision and can have more power moves, but there are relatively few kinds of moves, compared to tap. Clog dance is very energetic, simple, can be more easily done by groups, so I'm guessing that's why it was so popular among regular people who weren't trained dancers. Fun to do at gatherings & such. I love them all.
We are a clogging family. We've unashamedly stole steps from tappers and step dancers. We will integrate and use anything we can to give a great performance!
The clogging drowned out the tap an Irish dancing. I prefer tap. The great tap dancers can get the same number of taps as those who clog without having to add extra taps to their shoe.
I wish this was filmed by a camera professional - that could allow for closer viewing and the artful detail those professionals give us. I fine so few options on quality photography/film - re: Irish - anything on RUclips - what info am I unaware of "?"
I'm not sure you can call it the hardest. I personally consider Irish harder, becasue it doesnt allow for the natural body movement that comes with the stepping, and because there are irish hardship moves that dont appear in tap that are amazingly ard to do without stepping on your own toes... (but im a dancer so I'm bias) however, I can't say Irish is the hardest ever, because there are other difficult styles (ballet for example).
Actually,Id have to disagree. I irish dance,and it is very difficult. What your seeing here is a hardshoe round,and it's not really specific. but if u look up hornpipes or reels,u will be amazed. it takes amazing strength to jump that high. I'm not disagreeing with u,by the way
I'd say Irish won for grace, clogging for power, and tap for creativity
I agree!
Agreed
You just described characteristics of their styles
@@3jami :: Pounding the Floor is Clogging. No Beat!
We're missing flamenco though...
now I can finally see the difference when they are side by side. awesome job guys
Wow! How fun! I've never seen different disciplines of dance performed together like this. What a unique and clever way to show off the differences and similarities in style!
I absolutely love direct comparisons like this
They are all as brilliant as each other. Except the Irish who were best.
Fairly Vague YAS
I think tap is best
*its my opinion don’t war on me*
I have to say it, these guys are fantastic!!! The Geico commercial brought me here :-)
Love the side by side comparisons. I respect all three forms of dance but being that I’m a clogger; it’s got my 💗
My Irish roots have to go with Irish Step. I love the sound they make in unison; sounds almost like a military drill to me.
Clogging is truly the best there is. It is such a fun dancing style and the music is so upbeat. It's a good workout too. My legs hurt every day lol
It's origins is Irish dance,
@@mikecasey218
And English clog dancing from the northern counties.
I love them all - especially together!
But I would have to pick........
.......
..... Irish!
GO IRISH!!!
I love seeing the difference in technicalities. WOW!

That was seriously the coolest most creative routines I've ever seen!! Great job!!!!
Thanks Robbie! We had SO MUCH fun. Miss you. Hope all is well.
They're all amazing,but...
Irish Step is my bet
that's frigging awesome. All 3 groups are so much fun to watch. I came here to learn the differences...who cares what they are, all great!
I like how each group shows their style of dance, but I Love how they come together and show their unity! How I wish, hope and pray that people would do the same!

My daughter had such a great experience at camp at BYU and I thank you Greg and Maria!
Wow wow wow wow that was awesome brought tears to my eyes all this performance does not happen easily and I know it takes a lot of practice thank you guys for putting in the time effort and thank you for having the talent and God bless you all
I like the Irish because they don't move their arms. Tapping flails a lot. Clogging half flails. Irish is like nope, not today satan. Arms ain't movin'.
Yaeli Fembotnikova lmao ikr, it’s just super elegant and formal, I love it.
Unless you're Michael Flatley. Then you just do whatever.
Totally agree, was going to say the same!
I bet you take Irish
I don't think tap dancers shouldn't be flailing their arms. If they are, it's probably just that they need to work on that skill
You can explain things ,but actually seeing it is a lot different. I loved the performance.
Clogging is amazing and so is Irish Step. My girls clog and are amazing, my cousins are Irish Step dancers and my cousin just won first at the world clogging championship. I was a tap dancer and clogging is way harder
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! I LOVE IT!!! WOW!!!
Clogging was SO GOOOD THE AMOUNT OF POWERRR
clogging, because its a dance anyone can do at anyone's house.
roll up the rugs, break out the mountain dew and banjos and fiddles, have yourself a time.
all of which were imported from ireland a few hundred years ago.
My opinion
#1 - Irish Step
#2 - Tap
#3 - Clogging
Ashley Clay
Same but I would say tap first cuz I'm a taper and cuz it's my opinion. But of course I don't think your opinion is bad!☺️
This was a great demonstration!
Wow that Irish should like they ready for battle! But it's a hard decision they are all good!
This is incredible love ❤️ this nice work
They are all amazing!!!
Because the Irish step dancers hold their arms down together - the overall look is cleaner vs the cloggers whose arms are moving randomly.
I think cloggers aren't supposed to move their arms, though. I think the guys hold one arm bent in front of their midsection. These aren't professionals, I think.
This is amazing!
Ancestors are from Ireland, danced to music all my life!
I like them all, I am an irish dancer but I kind of wish the irish did some more advanced steps here then they would of have won I reckon but all of them are so talented. 😊
Amazing footwork & beats!
I prefer the clogging. Looks less rigid.
when you see all three together you realize "clog" is the only thing it could be called.
I'm glad I'm not judging this. They are equally talented.
Cool comparison video. If you've watched advanced Irish dancing they seem to have a wider variety and range of movements compared to the other two.

Wow amazing!
Irish dance is by far the best...
Looks like you added a bit of Bavarian Schuplatteln to perfect it all 😉 Very nice to compare the three, thank you!

Clogging is literally doing the same thing over again. It's a wanna be tap. TAP ALL THE WAY!!
I’ve done tap since I was very young and took up Irish dancing at 10 and ended up quitting Irish because it was too easy and boring
same

this dance team taught my family!!
They’re all wonderful forms of artistic expression. Sadly, only one has yet been featured in a Geico commercial.
I love this. I've been wondering the difference between these three dance myself.
this is so cool
The Irish are graceful!!!
I like to watch them all
I do not see how clogging and tap did not come from Irish dance yet experts have said there is no connexion. I am very glad to see this video. I have done Celtic dance years ago before River Dance made everything a lot more complicated.
They both originate in England.
WOW 😍😍😍😍 that's awesome
love it!

Hootin" and hollerin' and cheering during dances is soooo annoying, even worse when it's being recorded 😠
what bunch of fun!

Clogging is a trained dance....
what do you mean clogging is "simple" and "easy"? Its also a trained dance you know...
You sound ignorant
Irish- im biased it just looks so uniform
Cat197 E it looks so professional
yooo that was heattt
I think these people live in the apartment above me. 😂
I choose Irish. I'm biased I know.
Shannon Gold so am I
Shannon Gold surely not Shannon! 😂
Love it
Irish step all the way!!!!
Irish Step is the best because I'm biased and a Puerto Rican Irish stepper!
I choose people in green because they look like they were in control the whole way. (Not too much body movement)
CLOGGING ALWAYS AND FOREVER
Summer Oliver ew no
Sevier County here we come!!!!
I agree via my American bias he he
Summer Oliver all this came from clogging yeah 😃😃😃
Summer Oliver I
I personally am a tapper and I'm good at it too so there is not one that's better than the other they are all hard in their own ways
makeup_ Chaze I am too tap is fun
Yasssssssss I clog its amazing
The guy who introduces it reminds me of "Gary" from "Addams Family Values"
We are a clogging family. We've unashamedly stole steps from tappers and step dancers. We will integrate and use anything we can to give a great performance!
The clogging drowned out the tap an Irish dancing.
I prefer tap. The great tap dancers can get the same number of taps as those who clog without having to add extra taps to their shoe.
That was pretty cool. I choose the Tap crew haha.
Clogging!
Clogging is pretty much all tap dancing now.
I choose clogging, I’m probably bias because I do clogging🤣
CLOGGING!!
I grew up tapping. The competition is real! Lol.
Tap for sure!
Tap dancers = an aggressive argument
Irish river dance = passive aggressive bitching
Clogging = full on tantrum
Irish dance :)
I wish this was filmed by a camera professional - that could allow for closer viewing and the artful detail those professionals give us.
I fine so few options on quality photography/film - re: Irish - anything on RUclips - what info am I unaware of "?"
Cool
I was sent here by nick :)
i like the look of irish but the sound of clogging
Honestly I prefer the sound of clogging over the other two. More of a click than a thonk.
Tap and Irish
I didn't know Irish Step dancers could move their arms! 😲
👏👏👏
I gotta stick by my Irish roots
Nikocado Avocado sent me! This was great! I thought they were all so cool.
tap always wins because it's actually the hardest to learn its just that Irish step and tap and better known also

+Emily Whaley Agreed!
The shoes are terrific!!!
Tap always looks sloppy to me. I'm not a dancer and know nothing- just saying it looks sloppy to my eye.
No discernable difference. All very good.
I discerned a few differences.
If battles were fought on wooden floors imagine how intimidating Irish tap would sound.
Nothing compared to the sound of troops clogging to your territory.
@@romishafranks I meant dance battle by the way.
@@scootergrant8683 I would still give it to the cloggers.
I would honestly love to see a choreography that all forms together
That clogging isn't like Appalachian clogging.
Clogging all the way
Sisters from another mother
The two dances to the right are still tap
Tap.. definitely tap.
Got to move those arms...
And it needs to be
Relaxed
And Powerful.
Well done ,
nick send me
