from here in Adelaide, Sth Australia it's just great to see enthusiastic young Americans having a terrific time. As a 71 yr old I clearly remember my parents Square Dancing here in the early 50's.
totally Agree Diana, even the northern mexican cowboy and the southern unitedstatesian dress the same way. one way or another the cultures are merging, it's just a matter of keep them alive and enjoy them all, i.e. I love mariachi dancing but also american clogging!
Just as we have called eastern Appalachian dancing, cued contra dance, clogging, and hoedown this side of the Mississippi (TN).....(most involving lines, circles, and hand work as well as heavy duty exercise) there is western hoedown and traditional circle and reel dancing, often involving clogging and arm lifts and likewise lots of energy. There is called square dance that is hoe down style with lots of repetition for couples in the formation. Idaho is a wonderful example of natural beauty, charming communities, and agricultural plots as far as the eye can see. Western square dancing we see now around the world is a composite of many of the activities used til now.
Wow! I've never seen that before! Beautiful. I was already impressed, and then the men helped the women literally take flight! That caught me by surprise. Beautiful and amazing. Thank you!
Esto se llama square dancing lo que quiere decir baile de cuadro. Es un baile tradicional o folclórico. Que bueno que te gustó! A mi me encantan todos los bailes latinos y este baile me hace orgullosa de mi cultura igual porque acá nos perdimos mucha de nuestra bonita cultura. Es una cosa casi extinta que hay que buscar para encontrarlo. Pero yo me acuerdo de niña que mis tías bailaban así pero de otro vestido más grande en rojo y blanco. 😊
But... You know what the Englishman did to become American? And who worked for them to stay that "great'? If that isn't fucked up, I don't know what is.
went to a second hand store in Libby (I love you) and bought a skirt and blouse. thought it ad look nice until later someone commented on my train tour "going to the dance" via which I found out I had bought an outfit for square dance from the 60. I was informed that schools still teach square dance. very nice. our children are taught to run after a ball and kick it. barmy. to cooperate together is Far more commendable.
Your "Quadrilha" came from Portugal where it was called the Quadrille and was famous throughout Europe between the 17th to the 19th Century. It actually first started in England but of course would become Influenced by other Countries as it travelled around and will have changed over the years.
Oh, that is wonderful and fantastic to look at and just lifts the mood! That such a thing still exists! A dance full of overflowing joie de vivre, cheerfulness und charm. That's how dancing has to be! In contrast, some disco is a sleeping compartment! ;-)
Damals in Erfurt waren diese Tänzerinnen und Tänzer in Höchstform.Ich hoffe auch das sie noch aktiv sind und viel Erfolg in den USA haben . Gott schütze Amerika ( vor allem Idaho).
It's all about politeness before touching another woman it is amazing how cultural was back then.... I love watching cultural dance it says so much about our history. Men were men and women were women
We know many of the elements in these dances in different towns here in germany, called " Volkstänze" /folkdance. Send you much love and thanks for your filming. 😘
caleidoscope patchamamalove Danke für den Kommentar. Die I R M E sind damals in Erfurt aufgetreten. Die waren in guter Form, nur die Bühne hätte größer sein müssen.

I keep coming back to this video. It is just so well coordinated. I do feel bad for the few slip ups where girls almost get dropped though. Also, 200th comment.
Hello everyone I am Anjali from India . We do this square dance in our school. It is such a beautiful dance but it has too many stunts . But it was good 😊
@prxncessF xo I was born in Ireland, you imbecile- Corofin, County Clare. Moved to New York when I was seven. Where the fuck are you from? Who the fuck do you think you are? Giving *me* shit. And I never said anything about where it originated from, simply that I was proud to live here. And learn to spell- it's 'bred' not 'bread' (we aren't making toast here) and "16th Century" not "16 century". You're a child, a fucking child.
We Germans know the Square Dance, but seen it not so much live. When we think to America, we think to Western and Square Dance. That´s Americas Way of Life.
@@anna-if8fi America was founded by, among others, English Europeans. And it was originally meant to be a country for Europeans only. American culture is European culture
When you learn a culture's traditional dance, you become a part of their culture. That's how cultured are shared. Any thing doable is practical... but my God this dance is so white, we had better leave it for Texans and Idahos. But Cheers ho cause its awesome.
Ain't square dancing for all the people to dance and enjoy? I could be wrong but I've never seen a square dance band before. Anyways love your smash potatoes Idaho✌
Idaho, looks like a festival. And damn, that person posting before me seems mad. I'm pro-immigration as long as those immigrating are not criminals, willing to integrate & uphold the values our country has been built upon over time. Right now, we have 2 extremes that are too vocal imo, 1 more than the other. One extreme like the prev reply. The other more vocal side for reasons unknown to me want "no borders," not to revamp the walls of our southern border, blame ICE & just let everyone in unchecked. None of those positions make sense if one truly cares about the immigrants coming in, their safety & their ability to succeed. By letting ppl in unchecked, the very criminality they are trying to escape comes in too & poison their communities. The increased crime leads to a devaluing of the community & lessens the chances of those in that community to become successful due to businesses not wanting to be around dangerous communities
@@Dang3rMouSe Multiculturalism creates racism and that's fact. Many cultures clash with the others and become lost over time killing other cultures in the process. I have a love hate relationship with the fact that America is a melting pot. Sure people come here for a better life but still wish to keep their traditions/cultures, but with that comes lots of risks as well. Comes with constant competition and will ultimately lead to racism.
I do regular folk square dancing but, nothing that fancy. And I want to do it so bad!😭😭 this is gorgeous and and looks like so much fun! It reminds me a lot of the dancing on Seven Brides for Seven Brothers!
8:02 since im mexican those steps and the women flowing their dresses out makes me remember mexican folk dances, i know it has nothing to do but i think both have european ancestry in this kind of dance
@@anna-if8fi that just shows your ignorance. Cuz A LOT of Americans DO openly practices their ancestors culture. Especially in the rural areas where I live. It hasn't died out here. our folk music and dancing is the same as yours (maybe a little different, but that just happens with time) this kind of culture/tradition have been thriving since its arrival to this country in the 1600s, and it's not going anywhere.
I used to be a morris dancer here in the UK when I was younger and it's really nice to be reminded of those times looking at this. I wonder if this evolved from morris dancing (which also has barn dances)
I enjoyed the video but I would not consider that traditional square dancing. I have been square dancing since 1996 and we have to learn certain moves and we dance to a caller who choreographs the moves.. Once you lean the moves, you can go anywhere in the world and dance because square dancing is always done in English..
Memories of my elementary school days come flooding back watching this. I remember every year we did square dancing as part of our gym classes. Admittedly great exercise.
Sometimes it looks like the girls are getting thrown around, and some of the things they did could get you seriously injured. Those high kicks were on point though. I can't imagine all the work that goes into that!
If you've never danced something similar to this, you won't understand that is the most fun part of dancing! It's absolutely exhilarating to be swung/"thrown" by a guy IF you trust that he is strong enough to keep you safe... I strongly suggest that you try this type of dancing as soon as possible...
I don't remember lifts in gym class when it was square dancing week. It would have made square dancing a lot more interesting and entertaining. Same with the spoons. I don't think they do square dancing in PE anymore. Dieing art.
The reason you don't remember lifts in square dancing is because there are none. This isn't square dancing, it's beautiful and fun and historical and I'd love to learn it but it is not square dancing. My husband and I belong to and regularly participate in a square dance club that goes to the state and national conventions. This is a form of folk dance similar to what we call hoedown style here in the Appalachian region. Square Dance you will remember requires the formation of one or more squares consisting of no less than 4 and no more than 6 couples and deals exclusively with symmetrical movement in patterns. Also, I had square dance in gym class too and you really should find a club and give it another go. What was generally taught in gym class is like comparing the hokey-pokey to the ballet, lol. There's so much more to it
This is a style of square dancing which I have never seen before. I suppose that it is historical. It looks like a lot of fun.
visit my canel, many exotic activities from the Kalimantan Dayak tribe that you have never seen,
Bei uns tanzt man quadrille.
It looks English
I see English, Scottish, Irish, and German. I thinks it's a conglomeration of the different ethnic groups that settled the west. I wouldn't be surprised if there were Scandinavian influences as well. I don't know enough about Scandinavian dance to see it though.
Looks a lot like 19th century quadrille! Which makes sense since they have the same root
That looks very fun. They everybody looks really happy. I like the girls skirts . They are very pretty. Tradition and culture are beautiful things . ❤️🙂👍🏻
Всегда восхищался их танцами. :)
Imagine how much practice that would've taken. They are amazing. This is a little different from the square dancing I've seen.
Nah ive seen better
how did i get here?
yes! awesome!
THE END

You was looking up the song square dance by Eminem, then you ended up here!!!!!!!

America has culture after all.
wesos de queso ikr I never knew they had a culture after stealing everything from every other culture
Like Quebec. It's mostly french influences, but with a mIx of many cultures, especially in Montreal.
wesos de queso well Texas used to be part of Mexico..... So idk.... look for northern Mexican folk dance and compare how similar they are.
totally Agree Diana, even the northern mexican cowboy and the southern unitedstatesian dress the same way. one way or another the cultures are merging, it's just a matter of keep them alive and enjoy them all, i.e. I love mariachi dancing but also american clogging!
Our culture is kinda basic compared to others, but then again the U.S is a new country compared to others.
