THANK YOU SO MUCH We're doing this for my school show and I am so intimidated by the videos I've seen of the dances- we're apparently actually using this audition dance as the audition dance. The breakdown gives me some much-needed assistance(I'm not really a dancer but I want to get in to the show and improve the small amount of skill I have)! Great work, you are my dancing savior.

PestiferousPandora'sParody happy this helped a bit! The turning section is different because I had to adapt to the skill level of my kids, but I’m so happy it helped. I would love to hear how the show went!

its so helpful to see it from the back! 70% of my challenge in dance is figuring out from a video if its right or left hehehe. thanks!

Dancing involves much more than memorizing a few steps together. If anything, professional dance auditions prove just that. It’s the energy in each step, the emotion of each movement, the sparkle in the dancer’s eyes. Standing out as a solo dancer, yet knowing how to blend in a chorus line.

This is SO FUN. Thank you. My friend and I tried to learn it during the intermission of the Tony Awards this year, but couldn't find the right video for us, but this is perfect! Thank you again.

i have to learn this by the end of the year, thank you so much!

I am 39 years old...and I am challenging myself to learn this!

AHH i wanna learn this so bad! Here goes nothing 😂

Oh yes, this should be in EVERY musical theater person's audition repertoire. Thank you 😁

AAAAHHHHHH Why is this so difficult ;-;

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Will be using this forever and ever for auditions ❤️❤️

I don't know why I decided this was the dance I had to learn... one hour of practice so far, got through the steps but I'm not nearly at tempo yet.

Thank you!! I will be in this show as part of a competition and this video has helped me immensely!

muscle25ftl hey! I have been in the show regionally and learned the choreography the our rehearsal process which in total was about 3 weeks. So we probably learned this choreography in one rehearsal haha. Doesn’t make it any less challenging!Breaking down a modified version for my students was a fun process.

Would love a slightly slower breakdown / talk through of the choreo!! It’s super hard to find online and even the breakdown goes so fast it’s tough to be precise when following

You can change the playback setting to slow it down. That’s what I had to do!

This is the best tutorial out there thanks so much! And this 4* year old slows down the speed using the settings just fine. Do you have any suggestions if my knees will not allow me to drop down low in the very first part of this? 😭😭

Thank you this is very helpful

just a couple things- just be careful when vocalizing your steps because i noticed in the spin parts its two beats and you say "spin, spin," when it's really one rotation. you should also maybe not wear black because it videos when you cross your legs its hard to see which one is in front.

Just a couple of things: this is a really old video. Like, years old. It was also for kids. It was also made on like, Microsoft movie maker. It’s also free for you to view. If you want A+ quality, go pay someone.

If it weren’t for recognizable music, It almost looks like that dancer busted out some Irish dance moves. Very stiff upper body.
