these ladies are great!!!
Love how serious the first woman is.

Nice wee mix of Irish and Scottish music and dance
The Cape Breton one is far more technically complex, but I prefer the jig for style and joie de vivre 🌵💗⚡
100% agree!
Wonderful I love Scotland!
Both of you are wonderful 💪
Just brightened up my morning watching this.
good to see the auld scottish traditions kept alive in cape breton. fidddle reel music and dance also the gallic language.
My FAVORITE standoff
Nice! I am from Romania!
Jig because I'm a highland dancer XD
same jig definitly won
Would be helpful if you told us which person (in costume) was doing which dance for those of us who are new to this.
Girl in trousers is doing step dancing which is popular in Cape Breton and the girl in red is doing a Scottish highland dance called "Irish Jig", also popular in Cape Breton.
@@mmbturtle5134 • Thanks for the clarification. I'm no dance expert so when RUclips starting pushing these to me I watch. The Scottish dances seem to be closer to the "reels" I learned in school but another commentor pooh-poohed the idea. So much to learn, so little time.😕
Zo denk ik ook
How you can tell is that Irish step dancing is done with the arms down to the sides. This is because the English had outlawed dancing to crush the Irish culture and spirit. But the logic was that if they weren't flinging their arms around the people could say they were simply walking funny.
@@yvonnetomenga5726scottish dancer here i know this comment is years old but we do dance reels as well! don’t know if you’d know the names but we do hullicans/tullochs and strathspeys which has 4 people in each
The title of this video is contradictory. There is no Irish Jig. It is a Scottish Highland Dance Jig vs. a Cape Breton Jig.
I was a highland dancer this was called the Irish Irish when I used to dance. You would have to be a highland dancer to understand this.
I'm a highland dance too, the Scottish jig in the video is called the Irish jig
@@julesbirdie Yes I danced this Irish Jig as a youngster.
Which one is from Cape Breton?the guy in the pants.?
God love the irish and the scottish
Me heart is in and goes out to Nova Scotia
This is great!!
That was fun
Yeaaah ! Well done Maria Zotko !! :)
Some of my ancestors came from both cultures
So did mine.
How come the Irish dancer is dancing to the highland music and the highland dance is dancing to the Irish music
Exactly what I said..the Scottish dancer danced to a well known Irish jig and the Irish dancer danced to a Scottish Jig, if your gonna do it then do it properly and get your dancers dancing to the correct tunes!!..
Melodee Mutzelburg The lady in the red dress is a Scottish dancer dancing the Irish jig, a traditional Scottish dance.
They danced to the right music????
@@markkavanagh4457 The one on the right is doing Cape Breton jigging. Not what dancers doing Irish dance do.
I'd love to see a comparison with the soft-shoe jig
Im from Scotland 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴
Well done ladies..but us SCOTS...are obviously the better off the two... And I totally luv that Irish jig thing,, and that Scottish broadsword dance is again just amazing.. Gawn yersell ladies,,awiz gonna say "Dinny give up Yer day job",, that's just plain cheek,so I won't,, all the very best everyone involved...😎
Craig A Russell both dances are Scottish 😂
@@eilidhmaccaillach4640 both dancers are russian
@@johnsmith-bx4rn indeed but the the dances that both dancers are partaking in are both indeed Scottish
What's the difference in this Scottish dance and tap dancing other than the music. Having grown up in Tennessee I've often wondered the same about the Application Flat Foot Dance and Tap.
American tap was no doubt inspired by these and other traditional dances. However one difference is the shoes, tap shoes usually having looser “taps” (metal plates) than jig shoes.
She didn't really represent the Irish jig. A a highland dancer I know that A. She should be mad B she should have more character and C THAT WAS NOT THE SKIPPING YOU DO IN THE JIG
Well, the dancers were Russian, so what do you expect.
I've done highland dancing in south Africa and Australia and that's the skipping we use. different teachers use different skipping as long as it is in the rule book.
Where does it say Irish?
Piekne !
do you dance over any sharp objects?
Was it two girls?
Объясните пожалуйста. Девушка в красном танцует ирландский Жиг (Как это звучит кстати по русски?), а девушка в чёрном - шотландский?
Nothing Irish about this, pure Scotiah
apart from the tune called the Irish washer woman, the tune which is Irish trad, is also a gig, and the dance originated in Ireland.. Yea nothing Irish about it at all
Where does the title say Irish?
The pipes are also Irish Ullian pipes. Not Scottish highland full mount pipes.
And the “Irish Jig” is a recognised dance in Scottish Highland dancing …
@@oisinolochlainn4437 the tunes originally english or scottish. the jigs are english in origins . the irish washerwoman dance is a scottish dance. the lady in the trews is doing a canadian stepdance that originted in scotland.
epic fight
where is irish jig???
There's a traditional Scottish dance which is called "Irish Jig". It is traditionally performed in red/green dress. One of the girls is performing "Irish Jig" which is actually a Scottish dance ;)
o, I see, thanks)
Школа танцев Shady Glen There is no traditional Scottish dance which is called "Irish Jig" some unknown tunes in the Scottish repertoire may well be called "Irish Jig" but that does not make the dance an Irish Jig. You would be hard pushed to prove that any dance is traditionally performed in red/green dress - people didn't have that luxury!
VelikolepnoeChmo it's the Scottish dancing version of an Irish Jig. not really an irish jig per se..
+Школа танцев Shady Glen Meant to be a tribute to Irish hard shoe dancing, the dancer is a caricature of an Irish person.
Anybody know the name of the jig being played by the button accordion? I want to learn that on a fiddle.
It was the Irish washer woman..
Gaffaw, great contest. ;)
Irish Jig I should know I'm a Highland Dancer.
The Irish seems more lively!
Que chingón bailan
What dance are each of them doing?
The red dress is highland Scottish dancing called the Irish jig
Ifyou think it's a battle you've already lost the plot.
What's the name of this tune?
The girl using the Irish jig is called The Irish Washerwoman. It's mostly used for Irish dance light jigs.
even an orange irishman knows enuf not to challenge a cape bretoner!
Only in Scotland do "Irish" girls dance displaying their petticoat.
that's the Scottish dance you nitwit
Or Irish washer woman?
Irish jig....... Because A. I do it B. It was better than the other...... And the ppl that say the Irish jig is crap u are wrong I dance it and I know how to do it and it is hard...... So stop saying it is crap.....☺☺☺☺
Anaelle Duncan lass, us Scottish don't need the aarrsh jig, we have cattle to clog. Besides we use drums to keep tae beat. All the Irish have are broken oaths and betrayals.
I'm sorry but... if you're going to do the Highland version of the Irish Jig, you need to be able to do it properly, the poor girl butchered it :(
She wasn't dancing an Irish Jig, she was dancing a Highland step dance.
Dyno Mite it’s a Scottish dance called the Irish Jig! It’s making fun of angry Irish women.
It's a highland dance called the Irish jig
@@Reddog794 I'm 21, been dancing highland for 19 years with my mum being my teacher, I know what I'm talking about 😂
@@alexmalcolm1999 fair enough, my mistake.
not step dancer vs traditional. if the irish was doing a farie reel all in.
The only good step for the Irish dancer was the last step. All the others were so boring and so much the same. Scottish Irish Jig is so much better All the time. Scottish all the way.
I'm Irish c;
not really IRISH
The Irish dancer isn’t that good. Her knees aren’t crossed, her shoulders aren’t back... sigh.
Moreover, she isn't even an Irish dancer :)
Irish jig won
lol! This is NEITHER (Scottish, OR
Cape Breton style)
Fiddlinjosie The Irish jig is Scottish.
Never saw Cape Breton dancing like that. Wonder where you found it...@@mostsubscribedtowithoutpos5279
L
This isn’t irish at all
indeed but folks within the HIGHLAND DANCE repetoire,the Irish jig ,was a parody of angry Irish women ,a joke about thier ill temper!!
afraser, rbs,kansallis phd(p) etc
Irish jig so won😃🙍👗
What Irish Jig? That wasn't an Irish jig.
@@sylviekell the girl dancing in the red outfit was dancing a scottish Irish jig not the actual irish jig.
shouldn't you be sitting with your legs closed if you are in a skirt? ha ha! No offence, Scots are one of the most masculine men ever!
Too much ballet style, sorry.
Irish jig is one in the red😜
No it was not.. you have clearly never seen an Irish Dancer do a Jig and considering the Scottish girl in red was representing a Scottish dancer then why was she dancing to the tune the Irish washerwoman??
Mark Kavanagh There is a traditional Scottish dance called the Irish jig.
@@markkavanagh4457 The Scottish Irish Jig is being danced in the red by Maria Zotko
@Jasmin Buchan What is a "Scottish" Irish jig?
@@markkavanagh4457 the girl in red is doing a Scottish highland dance called the Irish jig
neither can dance
Can you?? if not then dont criticise those with talent when you have feck all...
Sower graps from someone who probably can't dance
irish jig is so better
Get yourselves a real Irish dancer next time because that was not an Irish jig!!!...
Mark Kavanagh It’s not supposed to be an Irish dancer. There is a traditional Scottish dance called the Irish jig.
@@mostsubscribedtowithoutpos5279 really?? You have enlightened me, I never knew that so thank you kindly..
That is not Cape Breton Step Dancing. Not even close!
gam gam. style
gum gum style.
Thank you for pointing that out!!
I think it's skirt gal, and trouser gal. One plays basketball ball, the other is a runway model. And obviously neither is doing cancer treatment, doing pest extermination, or wearing store bought clothes from Thailand ( of Thai culture).
I suppose they could be fighting excess caffiene use, but neither has pulled on gun on me to force my gay self to make babies with them. So, they seem alright with me.
Or should I rethink that, being I'm the invisible Man standing at the X center and they're both wondering why they just got touched on the shoulder.
This isn't even close to irish dancing which 1,000 times harder
Fake, if it was real the Irish girl would be on the floor with stab woonndss
Joey Morrison There is a traditional *scottish* dance called the Irish jig.
What does that mean?? It's a dance joey ffs, don't be bringing your ghetto street gutter crap into Celtic traditions..
Soooooo made up !!! This is not traditional Scottish dance. A poor attempt at trying to put together something without any tradition. Scotland does not have the same history as Irish dance yet tries to promote itself as if it has.
Shut up!! Irish dancing is just tap dancing and the outfits are just awful! Rather than viewing Scottish dancing why not just stick to your beloved tap dancing!
Affaraon I should hope that wasn’t aimed at me because if you want to start trading insults then all be it!
Fir goodness sake we should all be proud of our dancing roots ,Scots and Irish ,we are both amazing people ,let’s have a wee bit respect fir each other people they are both amazing .xxxxx
@@callumwilson7501 Irish dancing has existed for far longer than tap dancing and based on your comment shall we call Scottish dancing elaborate skipping?? Don't be so damned ignorant we're all Celts and some of our traditions are the same including the Gaelic language.. Shows like River dance have toured the world and are often sold out everywhere can you say the same?? Instead of being jealous try embracing your Celtic cousins culture as we are the same people after all..
Mark Kavanagh you call me out but this damn finoula has been going around with her silly comments on various Scottish dancing clips! She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She’s the one whose ignorant!!
these dances are very racist .
King balor How? Yes I know that your comment was four years ago. I’m just laughing really hard.
LoveThat omg that’s my old account hahah
