What are you up to now? Great set. Mortified at the floor but you dealt with it. Someone murdered you to perform this - under these conditions. Just wondering how you’re getting on. 😘 from Americay
I like your videos. I haven't heard from you in long time. I hope you are doing okay. Take care and be safe. Have a good day and a good night rest at home.
Keep up the great work Highrishdancer you ought to take your talent to broadway to New York. Besides you look great wearing a kilt I give you two thumbs up.
In Galiza, the ancient celtic and suevi nation of the Iberic Peninsule there are some Sword Dances too. One of the best known is from Carril. Each year is danced in July, 25 in the party of St. James, the Galician National Day. Regards! Baile Das Espadas, Carril 2011
Haha I wish I was Chantal Watt (red in the middle)... I'm the fairly unimpressive boy on the right with the aqua kilt. On the far side is Dan Carr. Both Chantal and Dan are top placers at the World Championships.
I live in Florida too! I'm a male Highland Dancer and I feel like it gives me the upper hand in competition being a guy. I was put next to two championship dancers from Canada who had to start from Beginner (Which I am) at my first games, and I got 3rd in Sword over the both of them, whom got last places! I was sincerely shocked, considering they creamed us all in everything else. This weekend is the Zephyrhills Highland Games and I'm supposed to be against two other guys!
It was kind of you to post another video. I am not sure. which one is you dancing? What colored kilt are you wearing? If I don't hear from you soon I wish you and your family a Happy New Year 2012!!!!! Take care and Be safe.
This has been one of my favorite Drunken Gauger sets on youtube for a while...I don't even know how many times I've watched this! Your rhythm is wonderful and I love the smile on your face after you're done! Hope you are still dancing!
@MsTwinkletoes769 That's so kind of you! Thanks--although I'm much better than this now. I did pop a toe-stand in the set. Boys never used to, but within the last three or so years, they've started. Not to the extent that the girls do, but one here and there is starting to be common practice.
@4096quagmire Yeh massive quantities of toe stands do tend to be a girl thing. They're slowly creeping into boy choreography too though. In one competition at Worlds in Glasgow this year, I saw five lads do toe stands in their heavy rounds.
@Masterjdiddy Thanks! It's called Scottish Highland Dancing--it's the traditional dance form of Scotland--incase that wasn't already evident by our wearing of kilts lol.
