Funny you should say that. I don't know if you live in the U.S., but a few years ago, Orkin, an exterminator company, had a really humorous commercial, where the woman had a problem with ants. Her husband told her to get a professional to deal with problem, so she hired an Irish dancer to "stomp" out the pests". He said ' no, get a professional" he was referring to Orkin exterminator. It's hilarious when you see it. In a commercial for another company, a couple is sitting in their living room complaining about the pumps. People assume they are talking about the water pumps, then the camera goes to the top floor showing a group of Irish dancers practicing their routine on a wooden floor. The pumps were a sly reference to the dancing shoes.
congratulations David Geney on winning the World Championships Irish Dancer. for 2015. Good luck in Britain got Talent this week 2017. UP The Irish all the way. We love your dancing.
An all Ireland Champion is a massive accolade, however ,to be a World Champion is just phenomical considering how difficult is to learn and master the art
All Irish dancing does not involve keeping you hands down by your side only certain ones and the reason is that dances were held in small cottages with a crowd of people so there was no room to swing your arms around ,there is a belief that there is a moral aspect to it as in keeping you hands to yourself and not to be mauling the girl but I think that would be unlikely when you are concentrating on the tap at high speed
I always thought that it was because at some point in history dancing was forbidden and so they had to look like they weren't dancing when viewed through the window from the street so as not to get in trouble. Hence the original dancing with only the bottom of the body and no action on top. Or am I thinking of Scotland...🤔
I wish he went in like this without all the gimmicks and just him and hard floor. Because he is so talented. Am so sad it didnt resonate with the judges, the amount of work that goes into dancing like that. He is still a star in our eyes.
he certainly is talented but it wouldn't of worked without the "gimmicks" as thats what allowed it to appeal to a larger audience rather than just those who actually have an appreciation of irish dance
nonie c I met him in Ireland in his pub and he told me that after his audition he was going to do something different to his audition and more like this or better but the producers wouldn't allow it and forced him to do the same as the audition 😥

Hi there, I’m from The Irish Post newspaper in London. Would it be possible to use this video on our Facebook page? Credit/link back to you. We can be found here: facebook.com/TheIrishPost/ - Thanks!
Man that ain’t nothing but tap dancing. He trying hard too. His best dancing is a walk in the park to greats like savion glover and Gregory Hines. It’s a good attempt though
KennEH that is cause you have not practiced it. They say that when an Irish dancer makes everything look easy, it is cause they definetely are good dancers. Believe me when I tell you Irish dance is more difficult than tap. I have practiced both dances
Irish dancing was originally performed in small country cottages so all the expression had to be tidy arms down by your side and carried out in a confined space brilliant
@@vincenthigginbotham8729 exactly that. Maybe with some more practice, he'll be able to focus more and do better form. The potential seems to be there.
