A Scottish Dance Battle! Irish Jig vs. Cape Breton Jigs 

these ladies are great!!!

PLEASE!!! Preserve this and ALL Ethnic DANCE and MUSIC!!!

Nice wee mix of Irish and Scottish music and dance

Love how serious the first woman is.

Both of you are wonderful 💪

im a highland dancer and love the Irish jig so much:)

Wonderful I love Scotland!

Nice! I am from Romania!

Just brightened up my morning watching this.

The Cape Breton one is far more technically complex, but I prefer the jig for style and joie de vivre 🌵💗⚡

Jig because I'm a highland dancer XD

This is great!!

God love the irish and the scottish

My FAVORITE standoff

good to see the auld scottish traditions kept alive in cape breton. fidddle reel music and dance also the gallic language.

That was fun

Yeaaah ! Well done Maria Zotko !! :)

The title of this video is contradictory. There is no Irish Jig. It is a Scottish Highland Dance Jig vs. a Cape Breton Jig.

Would be helpful if you told us which person (in costume) was doing which dance for those of us who are new to this.

How come the Irish dancer is dancing to the highland music and the highland dance is dancing to the Irish music

Some of my ancestors came from both cultures

I'd love to see a comparison with the soft-shoe jig

Me heart is in and goes out to Nova Scotia

Nothing Irish about this, pure Scotiah

Piekne !

epic fight

She didn't really represent the Irish jig. A a highland dancer I know that A. She should be mad B she should have more character and C THAT WAS NOT THE SKIPPING YOU DO IN THE JIG

Was it two girls?

Well done ladies..but us SCOTS...are obviously the better off the two... And I totally luv that Irish jig thing,, and that Scottish broadsword dance is again just amazing.. Gawn yersell ladies,,awiz gonna say "Dinny give up Yer day job",, that's just plain cheek,so I won't,, all the very best everyone involved...😎

Im from Scotland 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

do you dance over any sharp objects?

Gaffaw, great contest. ;)

where is irish jig???

The Irish seems more lively!

What's the difference in this Scottish dance and tap dancing other than the music. Having grown up in Tennessee I've often wondered the same about the Application Flat Foot Dance and Tap.

Que chingón bailan

Irish Jig I should know I'm a Highland Dancer.

Ifyou think it's a battle you've already lost the plot.

Объясните пожалуйста. Девушка в красном танцует ирландский Жиг (Как это звучит кстати по русски?), а девушка в чёрном - шотландский?

Only in Scotland do "Irish" girls dance displaying their petticoat.

even an orange irishman knows enuf not to challenge a cape bretoner!

Anybody know the name of the jig being played by the button accordion? I want to learn that on a fiddle.

What dance are each of them doing?

Or Irish washer woman?

What's the name of this tune?

I'm Irish c;

not step dancer vs traditional. if the irish was doing a farie reel all in.

Irish jig....... Because A. I do it B. It was better than the other...... And the ppl that say the Irish jig is crap u are wrong I dance it and I know how to do it and it is hard...... So stop saying it is crap.....☺☺☺☺

I'm sorry but... if you're going to do the Highland version of the Irish Jig, you need to be able to do it properly, the poor girl butchered it :(

not really IRISH

The only good step for the Irish dancer was the last step. All the others were so boring and so much the same. Scottish Irish Jig is so much better All the time. Scottish all the way.

lol! This is NEITHER (Scottish, OR Cape Breton style)

Irish jig won

This isn’t irish at all

indeed but folks within the HIGHLAND DANCE repetoire,the Irish jig ,was a parody of angry Irish women ,a joke about thier ill temper!! afraser, rbs,kansallis phd(p) etc

L

Irish jig is one in the red😜

Too much ballet style, sorry.

The Irish dancer isn’t that good. Her knees aren’t crossed, her shoulders aren’t back... sigh.

Irish jig so won😃🙍👗

neither can dance

irish jig is so better

shouldn't you be sitting with your legs closed if you are in a skirt? ha ha! No offence, Scots are one of the most masculine men ever!

That is not Cape Breton Step Dancing. Not even close!

This isn't even close to irish dancing which 1,000 times harder

I think it's skirt gal, and trouser gal. One plays basketball ball, the other is a runway model. And obviously neither is doing cancer treatment, doing pest extermination, or wearing store bought clothes from Thailand ( of Thai culture). I suppose they could be fighting excess caffiene use, but neither has pulled on gun on me to force my gay self to make babies with them. So, they seem alright with me. Or should I rethink that, being I'm the invisible Man standing at the X center and they're both wondering why they just got touched on the shoulder.

Get yourselves a real Irish dancer next time because that was not an Irish jig!!!...

Soooooo made up !!! This is not traditional Scottish dance. A poor attempt at trying to put together something without any tradition. Scotland does not have the same history as Irish dance yet tries to promote itself as if it has.

Fake, if it was real the Irish girl would be on the floor with stab woonndss

these dances are very racist .
