Такие жизнерадостные ирландские танцы. Да здравствует Ирландия!
They're the most chilled out dancers I've ever soon. Fantastic.

You have my heart a dancing! Totally loved it. Please do more 🍀 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Just stunningly brilliant. Irish music is soul music, Irish dancing is for joy, beautiful dancing with possible good old Englis wooden made clogs plus the soft shoe shuffle added in for good measure.

Yeah!
Learnt this from Tony Barrand in Lancashire back in 1997. As an Irish dancer and an English step clog dancer I found it a simple routine but interesting to see how Irish dance would be portrayed on the stage in the US. There are almost no records of Irish dance in the US much before the early 20th century Gaelic League revival reached there, mainly in the 1920s on (see John Cullinane's books), although Tony and one of his students, Rett(?), had found Irish names on 19thC US theatrical posters performing percussive clog dances (as in wooden-soled shoes -from a talk they gave to Reading Step & Clog dance workshop weekend in England in the 1990s). The Irish danced but we don't know what in the way of step dancing for certain. So good to see these steps preserved and recorded. 👍

Thank you for sharing your story, Moira! It's terrific to hear others chime in with their experiences w/ Tony B. and the Marley dances! It is definitely a very simple routine; great for dancers in the early phases of learning. This is part of an ongoing project to preserve and archive the whole set of Marley dances. (13 in all)
Ye folks are GREAT at the dancin’! and it did me ol’ heart good to see yees so it did! ☘️☘️☘️☘️

Thanks, Maria! This is part of The Marley Project; all 10 dances (plus three variations) on record.
Brilliant!
Very fun!
My, that looked like fun. Good show!
Perfect... such unison
Now try the Gardiner brothers!
Probably a dance families did for enjoyment in get togethers. Everybody could master it.

Lovely dancing. What shoes are you wearing, and are they available to buy online? Thank you.

Those are wood soled English clog dancing shoes. There are a couple of clog makers in the U.K. who are the main source for these shoes. Yes, they're available online.
