    I can recognise the DNA of this beautiful music and dance from over here.
    Love to you all from Ireland 🇮🇪

      Yes this music and dance came from our ancestors from Ireland & Scotland. Who else dances like that?
      Notice a couple of redheads in the video.

      It’s much more complicated and diverse than that, have a look at the book written by Phil Jamison (1st prize in this very video), "Hoedowns, reels, and frolics : roots and branches of Southern Appalachian dance" (I’ll admit I haven’t read it yet, but the résumé is enough to get the general idea)

    I loved the music and the dancing! And I am intrigued by the treatment of the wall behind the dancers; it is beautiful and has such visual textural appeal. I'd love to know what technique was used to create the wall.

    • @marcosantana7221
      @marcosantana7221 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Joan Deschamps hello, I'm not 100%, though it looks like wall art made by sculpting plaster on the wall. Look it up; I've never seen such a large example. I admire practically all art, and only recently found this while surfing TH-cam videos. Anyway, hope this helps and answers your question.
      Enjoy, Peace.

We have Lake Superior on the north border, Lake Michigan on the east border, and the Mississippi River on our west border, and many other lakes, ponds and rivers in between. It's a sportsmen's paradise, and because it's so cold so much of the time, we don't have a massive influx of people coming here, so we kinda have it all to ourselves. The cost of living is low but the quality of life is great. We love it.

I was kidding about the snow shoes of course but owing to the abundant supply of Wisconsin butter and cheese products not too many people I met were in good enough shape to go 'clogging' or 'flat footin' on friday nights...After a month of working there my cholesterol was so high I had turned from a liquid to a solid.
