I think tap is best *its my opinion don’t war on me*

I have to say it, these guys are fantastic!!! The Geico commercial brought me here :-)

Love the side by side comparisons. I respect all three forms of dance but being that I’m a clogger; it’s got my 💗

My Irish roots have to go with Irish Step. I love the sound they make in unison; sounds almost like a military drill to me.

the cloggers were my favorite they Definately look like they are having the most fun and they didn't look all stiff and uptight or out of step with each other. their sound was distinct and fun.

The first season of So You Think You Can Dance, there was a clogger. The judges had no idea what it was and thought the person was trying to do tap dancing, but wasn't really doing it. That made me realize the judges were restricted in their view about dance and were going to exclude any chance to dancers who did not conform to their narrow outlook. They of course rejected the clog dancer. It would have been understandable if they gave advertisements, on what they actually were looking for, instead of asking people to open auditions, which wasted the time of dancers of different styles.

That is why they eventually put restrictions on age limits and type of songs to be sung. The clone versions did something similar in Canada.

Thanks Robbie! We had SO MUCH fun. Miss you. Hope all is well.

I like how each group shows their style of dance, but I Love how they come together and show their unity! How I wish, hope and pray that people would do the same! We are all unique persons, family, tribes,and color. Yet we are all humans and can unite in America to celebrate what our constitution affords. We can go on then to Bless other nations!

that's frigging awesome. All 3 groups are so much fun to watch. I came here to learn the differences...who cares what they are, all great!

My daughter had such a great experience at camp at BYU and I thank you Greg and Maria!

You can explain things ,but actually seeing it is a lot different. I loved the performance.

Because the Irish step dancers hold their arms down together - the overall look is cleaner vs the cloggers whose arms are moving randomly.

I think cloggers aren't supposed to move their arms, though. I think the guys hold one arm bent in front of their midsection. These aren't professionals, I think.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! I LOVE IT!!! WOW!!!

clogging, because its a dance anyone can do at anyone's house. roll up the rugs, break out the mountain dew and banjos and fiddles, have yourself a time. all of which were imported from ireland a few hundred years ago.

Clogging was SO GOOOD THE AMOUNT OF POWERRR

Clogging is amazing and so is Irish Step. My girls clog and are amazing, my cousins are Irish Step dancers and my cousin just won first at the world clogging championship. I was a tap dancer and clogging is way harder

Cool comparison video. If you've watched advanced Irish dancing they seem to have a wider variety and range of movements compared to the other two. Tappers swing their legs and bodies forward and back, Irish dancers criss cross their legs with a straight posture and cloggers tend to lift their knees up with an upright posture.

Wow that Irish should like they ready for battle! But it's a hard decision they are all good!

when you see all three together you realize "clog" is the only thing it could be called.

Wow amazing!

Amazing footwork & beats!

I love them all. But I must admit that I love the green Irish clover best. They just look at look more fluid and clean. Just my opinion. They all had fun and is a credit to the art. 💖💖💖

Irish dance is by far the best...

I prefer the clogging. Looks less rigid.

I like them all, I am an irish dancer but I kind of wish the irish did some more advanced steps here then they would of have won I reckon but all of them are so talented. 😊

I do not see how clogging and tap did not come from Irish dance yet experts have said there is no connexion. I am very glad to see this video. I have done Celtic dance years ago before River Dance made everything a lot more complicated.

Everyone needs to remember that dance is an expressive art form for all individuals. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. No one's opinion is right or wrong. I am also a fellow dancer of other dance forms including tap. However, I respect all dance forms and have always wanted to learn clogging and Irish step. Remember that dance evolves from expressions of cultures and can also be away for different cultures to learn about other cultures.

I loved the way Irish step is ramrod straight.

Irish just looks so good

what bunch of fun!

I choose people in green because they look like they were in control the whole way. (Not too much body movement)

This was really good/impressive. What brought this great performance down to me was the Lack of Excitment and Energy from the Audience. Very moderate standard cheering and applause. This should have been a Standing Ovation.

Hootin" and hollerin' and cheering during dances is soooo annoying, even worse when it's being recorded 😠

I like the tap the best as a form of dance art, because it is exciting and uses the whole body. I think the Irish step dancing requires more skill and precision and can have more power moves, but there are relatively few kinds of moves, compared to tap. Clog dance is very energetic, simple, can be more easily done by groups, so I'm guessing that's why it was so popular among regular people who weren't trained dancers. Fun to do at gatherings & such. I love them all.

We are a clogging family. We've unashamedly stole steps from tappers and step dancers. We will integrate and use anything we can to give a great performance!

The clogging drowned out the tap an Irish dancing. I prefer tap. The great tap dancers can get the same number of taps as those who clog without having to add extra taps to their shoe.

Irish step all the way!!!!

I'm not sure you can call it the hardest. I personally consider Irish harder, becasue it doesnt allow for the natural body movement that comes with the stepping, and because there are irish hardship moves that dont appear in tap that are amazingly ard to do without stepping on your own toes... (but im a dancer so I'm bias) however, I can't say Irish is the hardest ever, because there are other difficult styles (ballet for example).
