Molyneaux’s choreography is no joke. Like so many dancers, I was raised on Comerford versions, but I’m teaching myself the Molyneaux steps inch by inch.
I see here some resemblance to the version of Humours of Bandon, Kieran Jordan once performed. May it be, these dances have the same authors? I'm talking about this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_PjEDQrYll0.html We've learned it last year. It would be great to proceed with the Three Sea Captains from Cork :)
Thank you for saving these dances. THIS is traditional Irish dancing to me. I never knew North Kerry was special. Grandparents from there. I learned dance in Tralee in 70's. Alot of group sets like "Sweets of May", "Haymakers"etc. I HATE what Irish dance has become because of Riverdance. They should distinguish that as modern innovation and not traditional.
Is this a hornpipe ? I grew up in Tralee in the 70's. Took classes then. Grandparents from North Kerry. I have so many of their ceili record albums from the 60s. Never knew traditional dancing from there was its own thing. No wonder I hate all the ballet moves-stand on point in hard shoes-leaps in the air of what I call "Riverdance choreography" nowadays.
