Mariana C. Horton dancing the Drunken Gauger at speed 70 at the 2018 World Irish Dancing Championships held in Glasgow, Scotland. Ladies u19 championship - 36th place
Beautiful dancing! For those who are wondering, 70 is referring to the speed of the music (70bpm) not her age. Set dances are danced at a speed of the dancer/teacher’s choice so it is specified after the name of the tune.
I'm just thinking abt how I do this every year and I am actually quite shocked at myself and all the other dancers to get over all these nerves of dancing scares me every competition every week
Hey I am an Irish dancer and I am 12. I have just moved out of grades to Championship and i aspire to get to the Worlds one day like you! Do you have any tips on how to turn feet out more and kick higher as those are my weak points. Also any tips on how to stand on your tips/toes in heavy shoes? You are amazing xoxo
So turn out Use stickers on your shoes or buy turn out socks (if u use stickers make sure to take them off for when you go to your dance school practice and feises ) For tip toes Fold your shoes then put them under a couch for 7-48 hours depending how pointed your shoes are Kicks Make sure you pul up after them and have a positive mind set lastly just make sure your shoulders are back I hope that helped I’m only a prelim and my weak point is ARMS ARMS ARMS so yea just work really hard on those tips and you will get even better at those things so yea I hope those tips help and I know your pretty good at those things because your a champion Irish dancer but yea those are some tips Edit:ik this is so long I’m srry
@@paytonnicely1588 thank you so much that helps a lot! And some tips for keeping your arms in - put a piece of paper under each arm and if you drop them when dancing you need to make sure you are pulling your arms in more. I hope that helps, its a trick my teacher taught me! Good luck for when we can go back to feises again! :)
Like some kind of contest to move your feet really fast while having your arms clasped tightly to your sides. You could be completely armless and still win! Sounds like Ireland
Beautiful dancing. Even better without wigs which make female dancers' heads look huge. Also why the white American 'bobby sox' ? White socks look daft on an adult female.
