I love their Celtic folk music. I was really into the Celtic Woman music over 20 years because I found it to be very beautiful and calming. As a matter of fact I listened to their music to help with my anxieties. Worked pretty much every time.

Irish dancers dance on the spot, because in the old days, in rural Ireland, they took out the wooden door of their tiny houses and laid it on the muddy uneven ground. Neighbours often gathered to join in with music and singing. The wooden door gave the tapping sound, but also limited the dancers in making big movements, due to the small size of the dance “floor”. Greetings from Ireland ☘️ Erin go bragh 🇮🇪

"I miss that boy Michael Jackson" "Maybe that's his brother" 🤣

Trained in irish dance for over a decade, watching people react to seeing it for the first time never fails to make me cry. Folk art is some of our most important heritages as an animal and we can speak across such wide divides of experiences.

I'm so glad you guys liked it. Irish music and dance is such an integral part of our culture and me personally. Nothing better than Irish music against the sound of tap shoes, just magic! Much love from Ireland 💚🤍🧡 ✌🏻 x

I have tears in my eyes now watching this and remembering 1994 when this came out of the blue in the gap between the acts and the voting began . I’d never heard of Irish dancing and was blown away . The 3 guys showed enthusiasm and respect to the show , which tells you everything you need to know about them . Respect to you guys ! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There will never be another "Riverdance"....What a great decision to show our friends this culture. I was Blessed to have seen them twice in concert! What an Experience it was too :)

I was fortunate enough to watch their live performance. It moves the soul , the whole auditorium reverberated with the dance. So glad these gentlemen appreciated it.

The downside is, do this dance 2 hours a day and the joints in your legs will be absolutely destroyed before you hit 40.

This only begs for you to show them Lord of the Dance next. Riverdance was exciting and breathtaking and Lord of the dance went even harder.

This was a very important moment for Irish pride as well as the entire Gaelic diaspora around the world. It took the cultural traditions and portrayed them in a modern form that felt epic and elegant and even sexy. I grew up with Celtic musical traditions, as part of the Celtic diaspora in Canada, and for our culture to suddenly become cool was a big moment. You might be interested in the recent rise of artists who fuse Celtic music with Indian music. I moved to a region of Canada with a large Punjabi population, and I learned about a local band called Delhi 2 Dublin that fused Irish sounds with Punjabi sounds as well as modern sounds, and it reignited by childhood interest in Celtic music. I've since learned about artists such as The Snake Charmer, and bands like Jiggy, that also combine Celtic and Indian music together. There's some commonality between the two cultures that makes the music fit together seamlessly and naturally, and it's beautiful to hear.

I am glad they enjoyed it so much. I have seen Irish Dancers perform at local colleges (one troupe from Ireland) and I saw Celtic Women perform live. Truly amazing culture

@@deborahmcgee7970 They sre giving our country away to suit their own agenda. Traitors, every one of them.

It is very important to understand the reason behind the form of this Irish dance. When the English controlled Ireland, they tried to destroy Irish culture and language. One way they tried to do so was to make dancing illegal. Instead of no longer dancing, the Irish focused on the movement of the legs and feet, keeping their arms still and by their sides. That is why Irish dancers almost never use their arms today. This allowed the dancer to deny that they were in fact dancing if an authority tried to stop them. In this context, it is important to understand that Irish dance became a form of resistance and defiance of authority. It is lively and irrepressible. The performance of the individual dancer is more important than coordinating perfectly with another dancer, or moving in absolute synchronization with others. The importance of Irish dance is to preserve identity and resist authority.

Love irish dance.

I still remember seeing this performance and being astounded but also slightly amused because it really was such a different kind of dance. Years later, I was lucky enough to see a performance of Lord of the Dance, live. Wow! Wonderful! Superb! Not enough superlatives in the world to describe the skill and energy. I loved seeing this reaction because, as always, these chaps are spot on with their observations. They never miss a thing and are always so positive. Fantastic stuff.

IT changed everything we være all in awe

Always an emotional video.

The old gentleman feels every bit of it

Hi guys! The entire dance is about an hour long. The dancers mostly use their feet, which is why it's called step dancing. I like Irish music a lot, both trad and contemporary.

The dance doesn’t last an hour. Are you for real? This was designed as intermezzo for the Eurovision Song Contest. Dancing like this for one hour continuously would be killing yourself.

Babu's reaction and comments when the drums 🥁 start to play 👍😆😎

River dancing has spread through out the world. From that one dance troupe many have sprung up. There was a video of hundreds of people from children to adults doing that dance and set a world record.

I love Grandfathers reaction ❤❤

I love Irish dancing! Great reaction!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That whole ensemble was brilliant.

Oh, that wasn't just a reaction to the dancing style, but to the very birthing moment of the show! Very awesome choice - a little piece of dancing history even. Particularly loved the comparison of Babu to Michael Jackson's dancing style. Had the same thought just seconds before. Now I would love to see their reaction to a Bavarian Schuhplattler! :D

It's really positive and wonderful entertainment. You guys understood the skill it took and I was happy to see you all enjoy it. It's a favourite of mine.

Love watching their reactions. Like seeing for the 1st time again

What a beautiful and very real reaction. Thank you so much for reacting to our traditional dance. Love from Ireland ❤

Beautiful!!! Thank you for reacting, Gentlemen. I enjoyed your reaction very much. Love from America.

Babu!!

It was my first time seeing or more like hearing River Dance as well so it was great experiencing together with the guys.

How beautiful that we all, no matter our different cultures, languages and counties, felt exactly the same divine thrill. 💖

Love the fact you seemed emotional and appreciative - it was a great moment and remember it well

We, in the west, are often far too jaded for our own good. To watch someone thoroughly enjoy this is a reminder to take time to allow yourself to love something beautiful.

Pops not bringing up disco. 😆 I loved their reactions. These videos are so enjoyable and heartwarming.

Babu must be protected at all costs 😊 he is adorable

I think they would enjoy the 1989 movie Tap. It starred the amazingly talented Gregory Hines, as well as many of the greatest tap legends known to American vaudeville and theater. The young boy was played by Hines' student, Savion Glover, who has become in his own right a major influence in dance. There is also Baz Luhrmann's 1992 film Strictly Ballroom. They may not understand the camp humor, or the backstabbing theatrics of competitive dance, but the many dance scenes are spectacular, and I think they would appreciate that it is an old traditional dance, the Spanish Paso Doble that eventually wins.

I love what you are doing! Please continue. We can all appreciate music and dance. Greetings from Finland.

Glad yall got to enjoy this form of dancing. I remember years ago when i first discovered it. There was one of their performances i believe was called Lord of the Dance and there was a rivalry act in the show. The 2 performers did a dance off and each time they would get faster and faster with their feet. It was amazing

I've noticed Indian people always appreciate dance! This is a cool video

Watching them in person is amazing. I've seen them in person once, but there's Irish step dance performances all over. My cousin used to do it lol it's really impressive

We went to see them when they came to Australia and I know some people put them down I don't know why because the whole show was absolutely fantastic.

Always a mind blowing experience.

The manner in which these gents observe the culture of others and the fact that they have a default intense level of real respect should be noted by all. This data should be converted into how we all act, the manner of our military and trade agreements and our respect for things that are different from ourselves, yet possibly vastly superior due to them being pure, unaffected by the western cult of self and ego. They truly are men of 'Eden'. Each of them is different, yet they come to instant moral agreement on what is beautiful and noble in the world. May God love you and hold you forever. May your children have many children, each stronger and wiser than the last. May God, in time, give you the place that you peacefully and lovingly deserve. I am not referring to expressed genetics, I am referring to outlook, which all good men may choose and are not bound by the choices of their fathers. This is a Holy and righteous video for those that see within what can be seen.

Fabulous performance. Michael Flatley is Michael Jackson's brother. Priceless!

Omg I am so happy you've done a video on this. =D

I saw Michael Flatley in Riverdance years ago in Manchester. It was amazing ❤

In so glad you appreciate thier performance. I dedicate this to my mum and family who is with God now. I think alot of you all, and bless you as my family I bless as well. God be with you. I have alot of joy knowing you although I'm a stranger...and we've never met . I have alot of joy watching your channel and I think alot of you all. God blessings again on you. And may God continue to bless you as you all are such a blessing to so many. I think very highly of you each .. different in personality.. like different flowers.🙂I may sound gushy, but my words are sincere.

Great reaction from you beautiful people, love from Ireland

I want them to hear celtic women. They are a wonderful group!

Frank from Germany, I been watching your videos for years and saw a yt video you should definitely show the guys, especially "Sarru" because I know he loves to dance! A young man (Ed people) asks people from all over the world to "teach me your dance" The best one is 1. Best dance moves from around the world 2. Best india dance 🇮🇳

Bravo! Ireland 😊!

Ils sont vraiment talentueux ! Bravo !

Someone tell those gentlemen that Michael Flatly, the male dancer, was once the world record holder for fastest taps per second.

This is how all peoples from around the globe can come together and celebrate each other as 1.

They should watch a couple of movies that had tap dancing. I always loved how that sounds.

Lovely genuine people.

Show them FLAMENCO!!!

Its a meeting, a courtship, and engagement, a wedding and a marriage celebration Irish style.

It would be nice that they watched Lord of the Dance, Celtics to the heart.

I am always surprised, how Babu and the guys are able to grasp our western music and understand every bit of it, but we (at least me) are not able to really understand their music.

This is Irish folk dance- not modern social dancing. It is historic.

“If you do this dance for two hours daily then you will never be fat in life.” 😂🤣

Interesting I believe you also showed them Spanish Flamenco some time ago where the dancers are also part of the music. Another weird dance along the same line that might be interesting and entertaining to them (as it also shows of traditional attire) would be the south German and Austrian "Schuhplattler" ("German slap dancing") and the Kosatschok, the dance of the Cossacks (Ukraine/ Russia) would also be worth showing them imo.

you start this type of Irish dancing at about 3 yrs of age..

Should show them the Queen of the Night aria performed by Diana Damrau.

I would love to have them see some of the old 1950's dance movies, Singing in the rain, White Christmas, Jeez, I can't remember them all, anything with Gene Kelley and friends. With their appreciation of Hindi movies (Which have lots of dance) it would be cool to have them see some movies from the heyday of American dance movies.... even Mary Poppins and other Dick Van Dyke movies would be good.

When they said Disco dance - I miss Aman singing ... I'm a disco dancer

the choir is today anuna !!!!!!!! and the maindancer lord of the dance

If they want to see more of the same Michael Flatley started a touring show called Lord of the Dance that features even more dancers.

I would love to see these three react to different songs by 'The Beach Boys' such as 'Komoko'. The music is so catchy and uplifting. I think they will love it!

The old guy gets on my last nerve, can't stand to watch him anymore. I just tuned in because I love Irish dancing.

*video ideas! Reacting to the vid of all Eurovision winners, trying different kinds of dances, reacting to all the country flags, reacting to the vid of the evolution of music 40,000BC-now!*

It's so obvious these men have already seen this ..

Eurovision! 🎉 Hope they’ll react to Loreen & Tattoo 😎

I don't know if this is true or apocryphal, but I heard that this form of dance came about in crowded Irish pubs, and if you flailed your arms about, you'd knock drinks off tables. 😁

When they said Snake dance - I miss Gopu ... doing snake dancing

Takes them quite a while to get that it's their feet making the sound.
