Just returned to this video after not seeing for a while - I am the choreographer (and main dancer) and I am blown away by all the comments from people all around the world! Thanks for the love even after 8 years since we made this video!
Just because you deserve it! You are an awesome group! 💯
You bet!
as a fellow irishman far from my homeland, i love watching all sorts of dance here, but its the the familiar steps of Ireland that i miss most. incredible work throughout
I didn’t even realize it was 8 yrs. old until I read your comment. Amazing dancing and wonderful choreography! I love the joyful energy of Tap dancing, it always makes me smile. Your video took me back to my 6 yr. old self doing shuffle ball change.. occasionally in sync with my classmates, while a crackling 45 record played Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp of Savannah) as loud as our teachers suitcase record player would go. :) Thanks for that too
My jaw dropped watching this. I have a question though, is it taxing on the knees?
Absolutely loving this new generation of Steppers!! So dynamic and a real treat to watch! Homage to Micheal Flatley, who started it all...
Yes!!! 🙏❤️🔥👏
Dang! First time I'm watching this. What amazing dancers. Why are we not seeing more of these performers? And to think they're not ALL from one country! Love it! ❤❤
It originally is irish and it’s been around a long time!
My husband has got to see this. He retired , like you a choreographer. When he awakens. This, just heavenly. Thank you all.
Business people after they set the deal😂😂😂
On the conference table!
Oh lol 😂
@@blackletter2591😂😂true
OMG Yes!
😂😂😂
You know what I like best? The smiles. Theirs and the one they put on my face!
I think the smiles deflect from the stunning skill, strength, and grace. Almost anyone can smile, but...
Am I the only how the art form of tap dancing in any fashion ever came about ... of course, we might ask ourselves that question about many things however I'm thinking about dance at the moment cuz I've been watching different types of dancing this evening. And they all have their bits of excellence that stand out and these dancers and this video I found to be quite elegant among other positive aspects.
💃🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️♾❤️❤️❤️❤️🕺
@@StarCoded I dunno I think it enhances it. Like they are REALLY enjoying being awesome
Thank you Michael Flatley for bringing this to life … Lord of the dance … and thank you all for building upon and continuing a beautiful tradition!!!
This is not Michael Flatley though.
OH MY GOSH __ Absolutely mesmerizing and the performance is perfections! Thank you for the gift of your incredible talents! The Choreography was magical!
All Wall Street business people should be required to dance like that.
Ha ha tjat would be great😀
Is that before or after they go to jail for committing fraud lol js... I'm just kidding, wall street bankers/investors are the best criminals in the world lol
The already do, but it is around the rules of law, morality, and ethical standards......you name it they can dance around it.
Hahahaha
Am I the only person who imagined how awesome would Benedict Cumberbatch/Sherlock BBC look in this group of dancers?
I agree it would look so good
I was thinking Hiddleston
@@dianehutchinson8661 they should both be!
I don't know why, but I can easily imagine every UK actors and actresses doing this effortlessly, regardless race, but not Americans.
@@zitronentee Maybe this will help: close your eyes and think of Michael "Riverdance" Flatley, born and raised in Chicago, Illinois USA.😉
The Scots have their Scottish Dance with crossed swords, the Welsh have their beautiful voices and you the Irish have your Irish Dancing. Will never forget River Dance on Eurovision Song Contest held in Ireland, you stunned the crowd. Good luck and God Bless carry on dancing.
love that the dancers are global.Wish all countries could be so wonderful together.
Like my Dad used to say; “There are two kinds of people in the world. The Irish and those who wish they were!” 😊🍀😉☘️
Funny. Mine used to say “Being Irish is almost as bad as pretending you’re Irish”
To True!! Fair play. x
Think we had the same da!!! Lol
Haha, Italians same the same thing.
lol and in Egypt we say : if i weren't born Egyptian i would've wished to be Egyptian
This is so beautiful. As a former dancer who gave up too soon, this brought tears to my eyes. This performance was nothing less than perfection. Thank you, to the dancers and filmmakers, for saying YES to your gifts. You are amazing.
Wow!
OMG nearly as good as me!! now now ,I have the shoes and can do a couple oshuffle step hops, and the drum...the one where you go sideways those shoes are heavy !!!
Same…old dancer here who walked away to become a mom & serve country. No regrets, but my entire body began to twitch, wanting to join in-as if. Did you find yourself counting? 5-6-7-EIGHT! This brought HUGE smile to my face!!
@@yvonneholmes2990 better later, the people are doing a suit dance in the later stage of this video upload.
Wow
Супер, какая синхронность!!!! Так хочется,чтоб все люди мира были дружны и добры,как эти танцоры!!!!! Браво
Присоединяюсь!
И я присоединяюсь к каждому слову!!!
Look at Mickey Mouse
This is so wickedly awesome! The level of skill, talent, time, energy and pure joy that went into this is amazing. I really enjoyed watching, it speaks to the soul. I remember how much I loved seeing Riverdance in New York many years ago and was just in awe of those people. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. Ya'll just command respect. 😍🥰🙏You are blessed!
River dancing, meet “Men in Black.”
True
Instead of the bright flash of light, they just _dance_ by-passers memories away
This is nothing like river dancing.
@@MsDoxma i guess you don’t recognise Irish dancing when you see it.
My neighbors up stairs in the middle of the night:
😂😂😂😂
Hahaha!!
WOW! I am speechless. Such beauty in this video. The videography is phenomenal! Those dancers are all incredible!
I randomly came across this clip and I'm so freaking glad I did. The talent is outstanding. Have to admit I've watched it 4 times now, something about it sings to me.
"What's your sexuality?" "Extremely attractive people in well-tailored suits doing Irish dance."
@@lululipes4382 Irish Dancing has two sets of shoes. Soft shoes, also called Ghillies, which resemble Ballet shoes. And Hard shoes, which heavily resemble (and are often mistaken for) Tap shoes and Clogs. This is an example of more stylized hard shoe choreography, normally dancers don't move their arms or upper body at all while dancing. In fact, you can be marked down in competitions because of it
I totally understand your statement :)
@@lululipes4382 I do tap dance and this looked more like Irish dance than tap dance (apart from the hand movements. They were moving their arms more than I've seen in Irish dance usually). We have different kind of steps in tap dance than they do in Irish dance (though of course these styles of dance have a lot in common too). Irish dance and tap dance are not the same.
Yeah...and they moved their arms...they don't look so robotics...like it.
Yup. Same
like a scene from the Matrix, only they were dancing instead of fighting... loved it!
ROMÂNIA /🤩 😌🎶🎶🎶 ❇️✳️✳️✳️❇️ 👌
This never gets old. I’m seeing this video for the first time in 2022 and it is still fascinating and beautiful.
What a dynamic!! I'm born deaf and wear the headphone to listen as the same as this dance shoes dance. Amazing!! I love it. ... a lot.
The uniformity of every step, the smiles , the suites were just so.....AMAZING!!!!!
I have no idea why this came on my recommendation but I'm glad it did cause i really enjoyed it 😉👍
Hola
I don't know either, but I'm glad that you shared with us. I always enjoyed the River dance, and this just put it over the top. Thank you for sharing.
Same thing for me! 🙋 Québec 🎧
Same here
Same here
Never have I wished to be able to dance like this group!
I love this. It just seems magical, completely devoid of effort. And the confidence and sureness in their steps that the dancers project is riveting. Thanks, and best wishes.
So delightful, I didn't want it to end! Blessed my heart to see people of various cultures get together and present something so excellent in every way!!! Thank you soooo much for sharing your passion and joy and spirit of unity!!!! I look forward to more!!! Bravo!!!! Bless you all!!!
FANTASTIC FILMING, DANCING, and LIGHTING.
and of course music :)!!!

I wish I could dance like this
Camera work was bloody awful!
Whoooossaaaa, this is absolutely awesome 👍. Shanes choreography, his outstanding dance, and the overall performance of the entire team ... smooth criminal 🥰 and so up-to-date!
This is just incredible! Huge respect to all of these dance performers! Bravo! :)
I really loved when they stood and danced together as one person, hope the entire world do the same.
one day you will read that statement and realize how stupid it is to want everyone in the world to move the same way people have individuality. what you imply is mindless robots
@@bluefmi this is what will happen
@@bluefmi Please don't misinterpret the purpose, this is art, dance - why would it offend any individuality?
The new James Bond movie looks awesome!^^
My first thought was...could James Bond film possibly have an opening sequence of Bond dancing like this. In silhouette he even looked like he could be...Daniel Craig? Just a little?
The slow-mo bit at the end makes you realise just how hard these dancers work to make it look effortless. 😀
Вот так должны выглядеть все страны мира! Все дружно, позитивно и мирно отплясывают 👏
Elegance, powerful, beautiful, and harmonic...
Роскошо, браво👏👏👏. Дай Бог вам мастера танца радовать нас новыми постановками.
Шикарно! Стильно! Со вкусом! Редкое сочетание, но такое долгожданное!!!!!!!
Absolutely Fantastic! I was raised with a book on my head and dance..my gma was a dancer for Aurthur Murray Studios and this just made my day..days!!!👁👍👏👏👏💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😘💖
men in black: international dancing
So In Love with the Origins of Irish Dancing and All that Michael Flattley and Others have done
This was released 7 years ago! Why was it just recommend to me now! Happy I got to watch this masterpiece!
I'm in Australia. First time I've seen this! Amazing dancing. Absolutely loved it. ❤
Why do all of them look like *perfect* models for stock photos? Am I the only one who thinks that?! :)
My mother would have enjoyed this tremendously as I did.
So glad this video came back around. I had forgotten how incredible all the dancers are!
С Рождеством, смотрю ваш танец в Сочельник, Божественное наслаждение! Так легко, вдохновенно танцуете, БРАВО!!!
when you watch something amazing and you feel like your feet are trying to tap along to the beat but you epicly fail and hurt your ankle while sitting down... I don't even know how but (applauds)
Chelsey Carter 👏👏
I would so love to be able to dance like that! So AMAZING
Chelsey Carter
Same 😭😭😂
😁😁😂😂😂😭😭😊
That China dancer is handsome with bouncy hair. From far looks like Keanu dancing
Euodia Percy+, I think the same. But, I dont know if his beauty is natural, because asian people get plastic surgeries. They must to leave their natural beauty untouch. I dont wants leave in a world where all look so caucastic... Asian people is cute as well.
He's actually from Norway. His name is Jørgen Benjamin Windborg. I thought he was Asian, too!
KMarce im sorry you mean *korean, not all asian but korean ppl
sockmagnet It shows in the video that he's Chinese. Perhaps one of his parents is Chinese and the other is Norwegian.
@@sockmagnet Ethnicity isn't determined by where one lives.
Ce sont les plus grands. Juste une merveille de groupe. Je me régale à chaque fois que je les regarde. Un top du top ne passez pas à coté. Exceptionnel !
The love of dance unites. What discipline, talent and beauty! Amazing sense of rhythm and physical energy! Congratulation...
Как это красиво!!! Не оторвать глаз!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have to say it, but this guy is smooth af. I love his form when he pauses and starts dancing again. OMG I wish I could dance like him. Even if I can't dance at least let me have his form. Just awesome.
Bigpeaches maybe , you could take ‘Tap Dancing Lessons’. You could achieve both objectives.
He is good but not as smooth as Michael Flatley
@@deborahduthie4519 I wish I could, but now too old. Plus, I'm off (old, fat, and fu*ked up ). 😀
Not sure how I got this recommended, but I LOVE IT and totally respect the skill and hard work. Kudos!
Sou do Brasil e amo sapateado irlandês e que legal, ter um brasileiro no grupo de dança. Espetáculo. Virão so Brasil? Vamos adorar. Parabéns por tanto talento de todos.
❤ tbm...O BR.🇧🇷 é aquele da ponta esquerda com cachos...? O + charmoso 😍
Amazing choreography, music and performance! A very original version of Irish Dance. Special congratulations to all dancers !!!
Thank you Michael Flatley for introducing this style to the world.
Yes....thank you Mr. Flatley.
Well said!!
Yes, thank you Mr Flatley
Actually... step dancing was around long before Michael Flaherty.
@@echomoon3381 Obviously, but he made it popular and (I'm using the same word here as the op, just fyi) *introduced* the wider world to tap dancing
в одном ритме по всему миру... breaks my heart.
The confidence, power and energy that this kind of dancing brings is amazing!!!
They are simply fantastic, great dancers and a perfect team.
I keep watching and love them more and more
can't stop watching this video they are perfect in every level.
I'm loving that the men and women were in the same uniform. Hella cool.
Long-sleeve dress close-fitted to the waist, with flared or box-pleated skirt skimming the knees, plus stockings or socks, appears to be the traditional modern costume. I like it better, for this dance.
I came just for the suit part in the thumbnail. Everyone looked snazzy
@@StarCoded i dont like the stocking and skirt with these types of shoes.
Me too 👍👍
@Jayy Menace That shouldn't be cross-dressing, I want to live in a world where everyone wears a snazzy suit. 😌
These men and women are so amazing! I'm no dancer, but I can definitely appreciate all the blood, sweat and tears that went into this flawless and beautiful performance. I absolutely love it❤
This never gets old. Great talent!
One of my favorite videos! Excellent dancing! It’s also awesome that it’s multicultural 👏
Очень красиво! Танец, ритм и красивая реклама. Удовольствие от просмотра 🔥👏💓
Браво, ребята! Браво танцорам🕺! Браво команде!
Would love to see more of this group dancing.
The smile on their faces are what we are doing is perfection ........................... this is art in its highest form.
You know that moment in Happy feet where everyone starts to dance and your like Oh My Gosh that was amazing. That's how I felt here.
Как же это красиво, прям до слез..так эпично, так легко, так замечательно!!
I live that thet are all wearing suits & l am blown away by their incredible talent! I had the pleasure & thrill of seeing Riverdance with Michael Flatley many moons ago. God bless & keep up those beautiful traditions.
Can't take my eyes off Shane McAvinchey, he's got that presence when he dances, just like Michael Flatley. Just have to keep watching him!
Just amazing, can't even imagine how hard they worked and trained for this. All performers in all fields are awesome!
Got the utmost respect for dancers. From Riverdance to these guys the effort and skill are way beyond anything I could muster.
Time well spent for all involved in the making of this video!! Simply excellent! This is one of the things that the world needs more of; real worthwhile entertainment and positive energy spent!
Creative Society #AllatraUnites #GlobalCrisis #CreativeSociety 🌍🌎🌏 Beautiful cooperation and mesmerizing rhythm! 🍀🕺👯🕺💚
Respect to all tap dancers. You people are special.

I mimo, że jesteśmy różni, to każdy krok człowieka dąży do tego samego celu!I I, czasem nawet, w tak pięknym stylu!!:) Dzięki!!:)
So effing cool. So much better than river dance with no glitz and glamor and with this cool industrial setting. Can't count how many times I've watched this. And, of course, the editing is PHENOMENAL.
Какое великолепие: хореография, синхронность, профессионализм! Смотришь на одном дыхании... Почему? Танцуют на одном дыхании! Очень красиво. Браво!
Nossa que fantastico, parabens!! Essa coreografia, o cenário, os figurinos e o compasso estao lindos.
OOOO that Chinese guy....such presence! Having said that the skill level of these dancers is just off the bloody charts!
Как красиво! Мира вам люди!
Потрясающе красиво! Ошеломляющая техника! Спасибо за видео🌹💖
EXCELLENT dancing! Quick on his feet and very light stepping! All did well! Irish step dancing.
Большое искусство делает красоту людей. Браво 👏 👏 👏 💃
Fabulous dancing, choreography and editing. A classic video.
🇫🇷❤❤❤ qui sont les cons qui mettent un pouce en bas sur une prestation magnifique ????
Incredible, impeccable choreography, an event! Excellent!
Yeah … let all nations come together and dance our feet off!!!!
The Creator of mankind was The Dancer and only a few are his Real Children and those are THE ONEs I HAVE SEEN AND WATCHED AND ... Thanks for sharing these Heavenly Feelings.
Fantastic dancing 👏👏👏
Me: *Tripping even on a flat surface.....
This is such a wonderful piece - I wish it was longer. The dancers are from all different places, but perform as one. Just amazing. Thank you for putting it up. I've watched it over and over again.
Wow! Humans are amazing. Especially the humans performing their dance here.
The filming and editing is really amazing. I love big dynamic dances and with the still upper bodys so still never enjoyed Irish Dance as much as it deserves (the footwork is so amazing) but I think this editing did it justice.
“His legs flail about as if independent of his body!”
Hey Chandler!
"...flail about.." rotfl. :P
As fas as I know, that's a statement made about Michael Flatley in "Lord of the Dance" Buuut maybe about others, too ^^
From Stephen Kings Dark Tower series? Rolland's harvest dancing iirc
Parabéns, com louvor.Que fantástico!Apresentação impecável.
