    I will never understand how these amazing dancers are able to remember and perfectly recall all of insane number of steps and their correct order - especially to keep in such perfect synchronisation as they do!! It's so amazing and fun to watch! Just gets you right in the mood to do some dancing yourself! :)

      You just memorize it. I can’t explain. Timing is the most important thing to learn and once you know it, you can dance with a group with ease. Another thing to note is that these kids are doing pretty simple steps making it easier to stay in time. In solos it’s more complex.

    Just because I'm from Ireland I'm probably biest but Irish Dancing with the music is the most intertertaining in the world. It has stood the test of time, hundreds of years while we were opresssed by the British and thousands of hours of practice. From every City to tiny village has a dancing school. It was there ever before Riverdance or Feet of Flames but Flatley and Whelan definitely put it Global. Absolutely enthralling. 👍👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪, Thanks for sharing 👍

    No idea what happened to the music- it was all there when I watched it a few weeks ago?
    The reason the Irish airline ad was there is, I think, because it was an event sponsored by them.

    I think the music went perhaps due to copyright. It is possible to learn Irish dancing in America. Michael Flatley creator of Riverdance is American and learned his Irish dancing in America first before getting extra training with an expert in Ireland later on. I am Scottish and we have Scottish Highland dancing where on some dances they dance over crossed swords on the floor. Many Scottish have Irish heritage so you can learn both styles but most people focus on one style.

There are short videos I keep seeing of two brothers who were/are part of the Riverdance troupe. They dance to various modern songs and it's a lot of fun.
