@@abigail-.equestrian2574 not knowing anything about this kind of dancing, I’ll take your word for it that the dancers themselves are talented and skilled, but whoever did the choreography of this dance sure left a lot to be desired.
I’ve always wondered why this dance has “options” that other Highland Dances do not? I might not remember if dances like The Sword ⚔️ Dance or others have variations? Highland Dancing is very different from Irish Step Dancing. Both are physically exhausting but beautiful. Appalachian Mountain dancing is closely related to Step dancing. It has a couple of different styles. One is called Buck Dancing the other is more competitive and called Clogging. It is closer to Step Dancing and has competitions and exhibitions. Just about All Bluegrass Festivals, some of the crowd will breakout into Buck Dancing. Exhibitions of Clogging Teams will Dance on stage. These are not to be confused with Square Dancing which is related to Cowboy Days from Western States. Square Dancing is not as exhausting and has a “caller” to direct the dancers on the different moves. Thank Yall for bringing these Dances and Music to this country back in the 1700’s and before. Thank Yall for these videos🏴Scots Wha HAE🏴
Highland Dances like the Sword do have options (The sword has 8 steps to choose from often with multiple alternate methods per each step). However many popular videos are from Championships, in which all the dancers must compete the same set steps. That’s likely why you wouldn’t remember if they had variations or not :)
@@HighlandDancer, Bless You for explanation! I have attended Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and Gathering of The Scottish Clans since 1964 till 1982 in North Carolina and Stone Mountain Highland Games in Georgia since 1973 till 1982 and watched many videos of Highland Dancing but never asked anyone. Thank You for letting me know and Thank You for putting in the long hours of practice so we can be entertained and the cultural passed on🏴✨ 🏴Clan MacTavish🏴 🏴Non Oblitus🏴 ⚔️Cruach Mor’⚔️ 🏴Slainte Mhath🏴
Just a normal dance competition there’s no finals only if you win each section you move on the highest amount of wins in the dances is the winner as I known from when I did it in Australia 20 or 30 years ago

Great dancing, kudos to the Piper, excellent playing of a difficult tune.
As a premier highland dancer, I would say this is beautiful amazing extended highcuts!!
Is it? 🤔
@@ronniedeshe5253 it is actually! I’ve been dancing my entire life and those are one of the better ones I’ve seen

such a strong hornpipe, well done everyone !!
THIS WILL GIVE MY KNEES NIGHTMARES!
Mine refuse to move in that manner.
As a mature aged woman now, I can tell you MY KNEES ARE KNACKERED from highland dancing and ankles too
Oh yes I’m a current dancer and I can tell you the knees are a problem 😅
I'm working on this in dance class. It's so hard.
Bro it's not my knees, it's the shins
R.I.P my poor shins rn 💀💀
I learned this at 11 and absolutely love this dance! I was just practicing to preform it again in a few days!
Wow amazing well done bravo 👏
Both my bairns ( a boy and girl) did Highland, so proud of them
I love this dance I learnt highland but never got a chance to further my levels in comps in Australia to learn it
Tres beaux.Merci😂
I'd love to know which of these one. I have never seen this out side a cartoon so it's amazing
I'm working on this in dance class. It's so hard. I'm an adult beginner.

THEIR LOW CUTTING???? HOWWWWWW
Who were the dancers? Was this the finals?

This is what Anjin-san taught to Torunaga? Oh jeez 😂 i expected something more like a river dance lol
searched this for the same reason... 380 pages in
I'm here too from Shogun, too. 3rd read.
And also restraining myself from cracking a Navy joke.
I love it! It‘s almost like a symbol of their „friendship“
I’m just learning this
Words fail me!
Show 😃🇧🇷
Which one won?
None of these dancers placed first. There were more than 3 dancers in the competition.
👏🏼
Does anyone know how this tune called?
Crossing the Minch by P/M Donald Macleod.
Try Aly Bain's fiddle version. Kick-ass.
Very tricky!
:-)
0:53-1:10 !
Don't ever name your son Atholl, even if it is a traditional name.hahahah! Example: "Hey Atholl, it's time to come in for supper!"
