Great basic slip jig for anyone who wants to learn about Irish dancing! Black and white sock idea is brilliant. Your explanations were very thorough and helpful. I like that you don’t move too quickly and give us enough time to follow along. Lots of review and practice as you go.
Great video! Please keep up the mismatched socks! One suggestion: you've got the gift of gab, lad. I played the video at 1.25x speed and still had to skip to about 4:00 to get to the content I was waiting for. As a professional experience designer, I can tell you that you have about 30 seconds tops before you lose your audience in this day and age :) Other than that, you're really a gifted teacher.
/clutches pearls/ why I never! A boy? TEACHING slip jig?! Back in my day... which is why I'm glad the community has evolved since my day. It's frankly too pretty a dance to exclude anyone. One of my favorites to watch and one of the best applications of harp music. Idk, they just go together. Boys not dancing slip jig is a silly rule that I've never gotten an explanation for. I was briefly part of a school that had some trans folk. They wore the guys costume and shoes and it was not an issue. Glad i stumbled onto the channel, looks like some great content to get back in the swing of things!
Great question! Long story short, it depends! A lot of the steps I teach on RUclips are more for recreational purpose. So for this step, we repeat the right foot step to complete the full lead around! Additionally because this is more for beginners and people just getting into Irish dance, repeating the same step on the right foot again makes it a little easier :) Now competitively you want to have steps that do a right foot version, followed by a left foot version. However in some competitive commissions, they’ll allow a “double-right” for the lead around only.
I did Irish step as a kid, and if I can remember the "words" of a dance, my body remembers the steps. Can anyone help me by writing them out? I'm thinking like: knee step in, step in leap step in, step in

Is it ok for a slip jig to have both parts of the leadaround starting from the right foot?

@@TylerSchwartzDance wow, thanks for such an extensive reply!
Happy to help! 😄
@@TylerSchwartzDance I recalled WIDA allows 'double-right' lead around for a light jig :)
@@olenabyelkina709 well there you go! 😊
My community does not offer Irish Dancing for adults
I did Irish step as a kid, and if I can remember the "words" of a dance, my body remembers the steps. Can anyone help me by writing them out?
I'm thinking like:
knee step in, step in
leap step in, step in
