I am Scottish. How can you not love this. Full of energy and fun and so much stamina required. Love Irish dancing. Can't do it, but love to watch it.
Suzanne Darroch for me it’s the total opposite: I am able to do it but do not love what I do as my parents forced me to.....just kidding, all lies
Take it up it’s easy - tap tapity tap repeat and you don’t even have to think about the top half. What’s more you can annoy the hell out of the neighbours with all that god awful diddly diddly music.
-Tracey - Well it makes a change from bombing British shopping centres -
@@strontiumstargazer3124 *troll detected* Do you go to all Irish vids and spew your crap? Is that all you have yo say? Sad.
-Tracey - Trolling - have you managed to write a single posting without a personal attack?
We need to do more of this when this nightmare is over.
Amen to that. Been a long, long 6 months. I love to watch flashmobs. I'm 70, but still enjoy watching ppl have such enthusiasm. Too bad some young people can't enjoy it as much. Not ALL, but many.
I was thinking the same thing. We used to have flash mobs where people would come together to do something fun and wonderful. Now we have a crazy virus, shut downs and lock downs, people losing their jobs, their businesses and their minds, protests, riots and lootings and the destruction of statues and cities. How did we get here and how do we get back to a more peaceful and more joyful society??? It's just sad!
Yup, I'm thinking about finally joining that Irish dance class my uni offers. I wanted to join earlier this year, but they only offer advanced classes during the breaks and before I could join for the semester, Corona hit and ruined all of my plans of finally finding a hobby I like.
Agreed!🎶 💃💕
@lightheart53 - I fully agree.
My Grandmother would have loved this. Even when the alzheimers took almost everything away she would close her eyes and smile whenever she heard anything with a hint of the Irish in it.
Your wee granny is with u always
Awe?
That's brilliant ✅🥰🇮🇪🇮🇪💃 x
Irish eye's always smile on.... Peace be with you both...
It’s in our blood. The Irish have a special connection with both music and dancing. Never forget that she is with you. She might be gone physically, but her spirit lives in you. There she can never suffer.
It brought me to tears. I am a Brazilian/Italian man who has been living in Dublin for over 10 years, and these people, music, and culture still make me very emotional. My home is here.
👍👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
@@tomthumb3500 they are just Brilliant dancers.up air lingius.
@@tomthumb3500 great stuff.
Also u P P
I loved it.
as an irish dancer the first person on must have amazing stamina im just wow!
Agreed ...she is amazing !
they got them spring loaded shoes
I thought so too. That's why they never have to worry about a weight problem. I was exhausted watching that first young lady. Beautiful show.
Adrenaline
AND they're dancing on a stone floor! Brutal on the knees and ankles.
I find it quite difficult to understand how so many people can stand there watching without a smile on their faces.
They're in an airport, there's no telling how many of them have already had their luggage lost, flights overbooked or delayed, etc.
reorourke Actually they're in a shopping centre. Still a good reason to be depressed though.
Hmm you're right about that one Jez, they must have linked the wrong video to the article I was reading. I did think it was a rather odd looking airport! When I got your reply I checked it out, and there is another video for the Irish flash mob at the Shannon airport, and I saw the people actually happier at the airport than at the mall!
***** Hi... don´t care about bad mood of some people! This flashmob was nice!
this is a serious competitive sport in many countries. Great stuff!
Less shots of the crowd, & more of the dancers! Love this!
This is truely AMAZING!!! And what’s even more amazing is that not one of them slipped on a tile! Now that’s true talent!
I don't care about the crowd, I'm happy watching my fellow irish show there pride.
"their"
Fair play to you come on Ireland what a great count we have bless you 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
So do I. Great! Love it!
Dixie May Did it please you to point that typo out to Michael? Is that your life’s purpose? How sad.
Sredni Vashtar I don’t give a shit what you were going to do. You’re no one to me. So slither back into troll land. Blow that out of YOUR arse.
Midwestern black woman here, just enjoying Irish culture and music.🥰
Variety is the spice of life. Enjoy. ❤️
I love it. I did step dancing as a kid❤️. ❤️❤️❤️
And the black girl that joins around 3:00 is a pro!!! What a star!!!
Never gets old. ❤️
South African and I ENJOY watching and listening to Irish music too 🇿🇦🥰
Never been to Ireland, but I consider Irish folk music some of the most beautiful in the world.
You should come over .You have a great time🎉
@@dazza9859 I just realized I'd told a lie. I had technically been to Ireland in the early 2000's. Because of a medical emergency, our plane had to make an unscheduled landing at Shannon. It was raining like cats and dogs, and the passengers were restricted to the airport anyway.
@@deanronson6331 Yep - the rain is the clue there! 😄I've lived here for 22 years and in fairness the rain is the only downside! Make the trip - you won't regret it.
All my sisters did irish dancing and won medals loved it 🇮🇪☘️❤️
Best music on the planet is Irish music...brilliant.
Is not the best of the world, you forgot THE MEXICAN MUSIC!!!
Best drinking music for sure! 😉💖
Yes, finally someone that understands me!
I am Irish and Cherokee native American ….. the Irish in me makes me proud as the Irish were instrumental in building America , the native American in me makes me a human.
TheMischief9..Thank you for your kind words.
Irish and native Americans have very strong connections throughout history
I'm English and black and White and Cherokee and Irish so nice to meet you
I am a Pickle. And a Radish. I feel I am useful.
@@MyDuxy I'm Irish too
16 years ago my wife, and the mother of our three children, passed away. We took her ashes to Ireland to scatter them. Being in Dublin I was surrounded by the city's beauty and culture. Music like this makes me very happy and it made my children happy as well.
*Hello from Dublin* I’m so sorry for your loss Eric, but I will say a prayer for her tonight as I sit outside on my balcony, watching the stars and moonlight over Dublin.
I'm from Dublin and we were made do Irish dancing from a very early age, used to go every Wednesday after school and then every Saturday morning, best dancing ever 🇮🇪🍀
The first girl is awesome
@Olaf Weinzer - Absolutely!
Yip! They always are!
@@ARCtrooperblueleader A
A
Who & why
The fact that literally EVERYONE in attendance wasn’t grinning from ear to ear throughout this entire performance astounds me
Why would they? I don't grin when watching something I enjoy.
@@lennydale92 I'm always at least visually amused, like someone can tell when I am interested in something. The crowd looks like they are watching paint dry lol
@@Kenshi9000GamingChannel Well unless they were forced by gunpoint to stay I am sure they were free to leave if they didn't like the dancing.
I sing with a renowned Welsh male voice choir and to large audiences. Some of our audience smile, some silently sing along and some look serious. I was smiling all the way through this performance. It was brilliant! It was the hard work and love for the music and their dancing which showed.
I suppose the emotional response would come from the Irish and the Scottish. For the others it's just something curious.
That first dancer has to in incredible shape, she hasn’t stopped or missed a beat , simply amazing?
Bravo dancers, only the Irish know how to connect their feet to dancing on our Mother Earth. O lovely moments. I wish i could dance like that.
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Best kind of dance for a mob dance ever. Love irish dancing!
How could anyone give it a thumbs down, you ask? Because there are some people in this world that have nothing better to than to spread their negativity. Sad, really. Performance was adorable and highly spirited! A pleasure to watch☺❤🦋
They are jealous
no souls, sad
Forgive them, for they dinna know up frae doun.
That's all the people that can't dance they give thumbs down
This is the only dance that brings a smile on my face without me even knowing im actually smiling i freakin love Ireland

❤
Just Brilliant, and give it up to the girl who started it and danced the entire way👍💯
never saw anything so beautiful in a long time. I cant dance anymore thank you guys. I just couldnt help crying. so woderful to see such young people loving the dance. God bless you all.
I had to quit when age and drama dissolved my dance group. I miss it so much it hurts.
HOORAY for these beautiful kids in our world. Their parents should be so proud.
Tough Crowd, I'd be clapping my heart out!
@Craig Schultz couldn't they have at least smiled? They looked bored out of their minds. The kids worked their butts off to entertain the crowd.
Me too and cheering them on!!
@@sharondunn7390 Yeah well who really cares
great dance, great people, a great country, tears in my eyes
I really LOVE Irish dancing! I was first introduced to it by "Lord of the Dance!" Great stuff! These dancers are amazingly precise! And you can see that the children watching are awestruck!
I love all these different flash mob dances and Irish dancing is brilliant!
I'm Italian, and I ABSOLUTELY adore Irish dancing 😍 the dancers were fantastic!!!
Federica Papapietro Italian? Do you know Bianca Locatelli? You must see her - and her partner Nils (Swede). They are ... there are no words to describe these both wonderful dancers !
@@Olguinioh, wow! I do not know them! Thanks for this info!
@@federicapapapietro6164 I am very happy because you are interested in them I think you will find the both online. The videos from both are VERY good!! Superlative!! Later she is no more with the swede but with another man. I do not why...
@@Olguini maybe they split up? Or maybe he decided to retire or change job? Anyway, plaude to you for responding after all these years 👏🏻
@@federicapapapietro6164 It is very important!!! You will see why if / when you look those sweet, crazy super dancers!! :-)))
I really love Irish dance. It’s brilliant!!! Stamina and coordination. Love Riverdance!!!
I’m Italian my husband Irish. I love the Irish culture and dance!!! Beautiful!!! God Bless !!!
Seeing the little kids get involved was so awesome, you can see the excitement and joy on their faces while they dance
I’m an Irish dancer and have been for 12 years, but idk how the girl who started kept going the whole performance, she must have really good stamina!!
She eats lots of Irish potatoes
I wondered that too.
@@user-ci1kz1cc6t I noticed that she was a lot faster and better than everyone else and figured she is probably the instructor.
@@dominickhomeyer9440 Maybe.
Can you imagine how good these kids can/will be when they hit 20 years old :)
There's something special that captures you when a group of dancers perform as well as this, well done 👍
Love this. I’m an American, but one of my Great-Grandmothers came over to America from Ireland along with her parents in the early 1900’s. I met her when I was little. I’ve got Irish blood in me!
Same here I have Irish and German in my family history I fell in Love with Celtic Woman, musical and German music , one proud American
kzhead.info/sun/dbugfbudhJillmw/bejne.html
I was here when this happened 😂 it was AWESOME!!!
I fell in love with Irish dancing, when I first saw Riverdance and i was 6 years old. If i saw this i would be smiling so much!! Great talent!
Loved, loved, love Riverdance.
Riverdance Riverrun Finnegan's Wake James Joyce
Shut up ur making me feel old lol
And their energy just blows me away!
I am Scott and l love this.
I love watching people get together like this. Also love flash mob singing. If that's what it is called...to bad no one does this anymore..so Sad 😔
Get chills everytime I watch Irish dancing. Especially when I got to see "River Dance" live!
I love irish dancing and i am a protestant from Scotland.
Religion has nothing to do with it pal. We are all from the one race. ❤
Not fond of it. I'm English.
I believe the Earth needs a World Flash Mob Day. Help us change the world! Pass it on! 🙏💖
I will keep this in mind!
We need it desperately, as a physically challenged older lady l will do what l can!🥰🥰😷🇨🇦
Why only one... What we'd need is a fm hour each day!!!
Flash mob dayyyyy
@@JC-qw1dm I would watch! 🙏
Beautiful I'm Portuguese but i love Irish dancing my favorite is Riverdance 👍💯
I like your Irish dancing and your music. It makes the heart jump with you! Kind regards from Switzerland
I’m Colombian and love this. If I was at the mall and saw this I’d be smiling ear to ear seeing talent and pride all in one. That was beautiful.
For some strange reason, I find myself in tears. What a marvelous hobby!
So I’m not the only one! I just think it’s fantastic.
Oh how I would enjoy seeing this in person!! That would be AMAZING!!!! SO MUCH TALENT AND ENERGY!!!!
Seeing young people like this with such a passion, which requires so much hard work, so much training. We’re not used to that here. We’re used to overly stimulated kids who care more about being Called the correct gender pronoun, then in doing something meaningful. That’s why, as a proud Irishman, I welled up also.
@@TampaJohn: Good for you, for you are a real person.
Me too - absolutely _joyous_ to watch.
Irish dancing and Spanish Flamenco - so different and so stunning.. Love from Russia.
The best of all the dances IRISH DANCING LOVE IT ❤❤❤❤
I'm English and I love this. So talented.
Just another reason why I’m so proud to be Irish! ☘️
Really? Proud?
@@matbroomfield Yeah, proud. Imagine that? Troll.
@@TampaJohn No, not trolling at all. I simply don't understand ANY national pride. It's not like you DID anything to merit personal pride any more than I've done anything to merit pride in Britain. The fact that a bunch of talented young people can perform an Irish dance in a mall hardly seems like reason enough, especially as you don't even LIVE in Ireland if your name is anything to go by. But no problem. If this makes you feel a sense nationalistic pride, feel free.
@@matbroomfield The great thing is that you don’t need to understand. It’s not about you. And it’s not about what I did, it’s a pride that builds when I see Irish people do good things. I still have many relatives over there. More than I ever knew and that pride inside of me is very strong. I’m going to take you at your word that you’re not trolling. That being said, that’s why I have pride in my heritage.
@@TampaJohn I realise it's not about me, but when you make a post like that in a public forum, you invite comment. I descended from people in Wales, Italy, and I have a touch of native American blood. I feel zero connection to any of them, far less pride. I recently discovered I have close family in Texas - with one exception, I not only don't feel close, I actively dislike them. So it always interests me when I hear people express nationalistic pride. It especially interests when I hear Americans express pride for a country they've never lived in even though they could, particularly Ireland or Scotland - nations most of them are many generations removed from. o you feel a greater affinity for Ireland than America? Do you look at Ireland as the "home country?" Or is perhaps the novelty of heritage that goes back further than a few hundred years? I can certainly understand historical fascination. I am surrounded by castles and ancient buildings.
How cool was that for a group of young people to go out into the middle of an Airport and do this awesome dance!🥰👍🏻👍🏻❤️ I’m so amazed at people who can do this type of Irish dancing. I’m part Irish and love watching this type of dancing and it never gets old either. God bless these young people for doing that for the people. It would be cool if all Airports had some kind of dancing for people. Quite entertaining.👍🏻❤️🥰🙏😘❌⭕️
I`ve got Irish blood in me. My ancestors traveled from Ireland maybe little Britain to America. This music is beautiful and astounding ,astonishing to see and hear play. Wonderful dancers.
God bless ireland,my greetings from Brazil.Loved it
i just love it, its great , thanks for sharing
Amazing dancers, Ireland has produced some of the best musicians, singers and dancers ❤❤❤🎻🎻🎵🎶🎵🌹
God, I wish I had that energy - not to mention talent!
Fantastic. Saw Rythms of Ireland here in New Plymouth.Thoroughly enjoyed it
Once upon a time I had it!
VERY IMPRESSIVE, I love it ! I love you, dancers... Kisses from Paris !
Too beautiful ! When I watch that I have tears in my eyes ! Bravo 👏 from France 🇫🇷💋
Baaaahhhhhh this is soooo cool! They’re incredibly talented
I am only 10% Irish but this stirs something deep inside me. I think it does for everybody. It’s a national treasure for IRELAND.
Eloquently put
How can you be 10% Irish I’m guessing your American
Same except im more irish
I'm 3.625% Irish on my landlord's side.
@@matbroomfield I Like it 👍🏻
I’m American and I’ll go out on a limb and try to answer a common question here. The reason, many people aren’t smiling at first is because they’re in awe. If this happened in an airport here, most of us would do the exact same. The level of practice that it takes to be able to this is unbelievable. Americans would probably do what everyone here did and enjoy the performance...and then give them a massive applause when they finish. Great job! 🙏🏻😇
This performance was in a shopping mall not an airport.
Doesn’t matter, for the love of the Irish we all need to kick our toes! And it’s a lucky day when we see the young people having a go!
Only this isnt an airport....its a shopping centre in England
Most English people are not big on expressing themselves in public situations. It doesn't mean they don't appreciate what they're watching.
I'm trying to concentrate on the dancing while I'm watching, so I'm not smiling. I'm fascinated and definitely enjoying, but I'm focused. This is a pay attention performance. Not a sit back, relax, and enjoy with your eyes closed. I don't think it matters what Nationality you are, but I am also American. Many of them are also recording it with ther phones.
I am English from father's side and Irish from grandparents side and absolutely love this
I'm English and I love 😍 this . Brilliant
Beautiful! I'm an Indian in love with Irish dance!
Ya me too...!!
@@nyctophiliac4354 It's so boring. The whites have no culture or history
@@channelfive7883 shut the fuck up! You sound stupid asf!
I'm from Arizona.. I LOVE WATCHING THESE DANCES.. ✌ & 💞 to ALL
Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Love from Australia.
This type of music and dancing always makes me smile!
Wow what stamina the original dancer has as well as others!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day all!! Much love and cheers to much peace and love!!
I'm Scottish too.....amazing dancing!!
God Bless them! My Great, Great Grandmother Catherine McGrael is smiling from above!
My Great, Great ... some level ... was Susan Laury from Dublin. Met and married John Wilson from Stockholm in NYC in the 1600s - he never learned Gaelic, she never learned Swedish - but they had 11 kids and now a dynasty of hundreds of descendants. Erin go bragh !!
I love , huge respect to Ireland and Irish , from Algeria .
i am watching from Canada and I loved this . I smiled and clapped throughout your performance . Bravo
I am Scots too. This is Beautiful, I love Irish Dancing I have never had the Good Fortune to witness a 'Flash Mob', I hope I do....one day
I will come across this every once in a while on my newsfeed. It brings such joy to my heart. Thanks to all that participated. You all were wonderful and the training paid off in giving everyone pure joy.
As an Irishman all flash mobs are wonderful.

Outstanding! Those young people are so talented. I hope they are having as much fun as they seem to be.
When you try it for yourself you suddenly realise how fit and spritely Irish dancers are. What stamina! Love ‘em 🎉
love seeing all the smiles and bewilderment in the audience and the passerbys
I don't know why but this really put a smile on my face !!!!!!!
Fabulous! I don't know what it is about Irish people but their dance, music & jokes just keep us happy & smiling all the time. So uplifting.
AWESOME, absolutely fabulous.....thank you for sharing your talent with the world......XOXOXO
As an Aussie who is two thirds Irish and the rest Cornish I just LOVE this.🥰
How could those ppl not smile? This brings joy!
Because all Irish dancing looks the same. They've seen it all before. Different tune, same dance. Its only tourists who like this repetitive crap.
Cos the English can't smile r dance
its because they are Brittish. (but later, many people WERE smiling) and yes, the dancing was wonderful.
It is at a shopping centre right? They are tired and their feet hurt.
English have no class.
Good old family entertainment , my Irish roots revived ............ Glorious!
WUN-DER-SCHÖN! MADE MY DAY!! LOVE FROM GERMANY!!!
I’m watching this video in 2023 and agree with the previous comment………I am from Wisconsin and so proud of my Irish Heritage! This video makes me so happy……Smile people❤️
Every time a new dancer joins, you see the idea of "jump right in" in action. Love this stuff. 😊
When I was just a boy, I can vividly remember 4 or 5 of my female cousins, dancing like this at family get togethers. I was amazed then as I am now. Bravo.
I come from germany. But I love this music,this wonderfull dance since 30 years
Love the timing as they blend in with each other………..just great…….thanks
Simply "outstanding"...I salute all of these young folks for their talent and hard work. Thank you so much for the excellent performance.
such things make people be proud of their nation. Go IRELAND!
I know I am late to the party this should happen more often all over bring back the flash mobs time for happier times. Just brilliant
I just love that Irish music and dancing Roly🇬🇧.
Good stuff. I love the unadulterated joy on the dancer's faces. Certainly made me smile wide. Thank you
Beautiful performance! A pleasure to see all these young people dancing. Thanks
Absolutely beautiful.
How I wanted to join in. What joy. Can I learn to dance like that in heaven? I hope so. Thanks for making me happy watching you leap and tap.
I can't imagine this type of dancing is easy to learn. Well Done!
I am in awe!! Irish dancing requires so much energy. Brilliant.
