God I miss dancing so much. I was dancing on a stage that wasn't built right and I fell and tore 3 ligaments in my knee, I haven't been able to withstand a long practice since. :(
dead??...hun i dance irish dances and trust me keeping your upper body still is really difficult, because irish dancing is highly unnatural movement so your arms and upper body tend to keep the balance by moving...its seems you do nothing but its quite hard to keep the upper body still.....theres one crucial rule in irish dancing - its seems you are doing one thing while in fact you are doing something completelly different.....
i agree, the scottish dancers do seem more trained and the irish dancers aren't as energetic as they could be. and the music is obviously scottish but they both did wonderfully XD
As for the music it is quite all right, a typial reel, that's fine, but the dance itself.... the young ladies seem to have next to no enthusiasm or energy at all... as if they are forced to do it
