That was very nostalgic for me. My youngest daughter was a champion dancer for many years. I took her all over the state for competitions until she suffered a major injury. I always loved watching the dancers. My Scottish heritage certainly was strong.😊
As an Irish dancer, it’s so interesting to spot the differences and similarities between highland and Irish dancing. I’ve also definitely danced to some of this music in class 😂
This is nastolgic for me I was actully one of the dancers from Scotland Sarah Hendry School Of Dance representing my dance school here back in 2011 and I also was leading the parade with my fellow dancers it was an experience I’ll never forget xx ❤
The Music and the Dancing is Wonderful and the Audio is Great and looks like everybody is enjoying themselves And A Big Thank You To Mickey Mouse and Minny Mouse for the Beautiful Shirt Introduction to this Beautiful Video If Beautiful Scottish Highland Dancing Thank You So Much for Sharing your Beautiful Dancing Talent and Thank You So Much for Sharing your Beautiful Video 👍👍❤️❤️
And that type of hippie BS is why white people feel like they have no culture. We always have to think of everyone else, screw that if you're of Celtic ancestry live it and breath it as your family once did.
@@Magdalena287 What! Abdel is saying that we ALL have our own cultures. I like my Scottish culture, AND my adopted English culture. It's not bullshit to admire others cultures.
@@duncancallum I am Scottish, but I had some Irish relatives. I like the Irish, but they have got a tendency to claim anything remotely Celtic as Irish lol
The shorter girl, the one in cerulean, the tall one she dances with, the girl with a black bodice/purple skirt and the boy in the green kilt are very good. I lost count after that.
Very nice! But I'm with the person below me and my friends went and I didn't hear there name! But overall it was nice!!! I love Scottish dance and this year I'm going to Scotland soo see me there if you are going !!!! ❤❤❤😜😜😜
I like Irish and Scottish dancing but I feel sorry for the people playing Mickey and Minnie, they had to be active and excited for the entire time. They had no breaks, that must have been exhausting in it's own way,
@Anglo-Celtic Mega Nationalist Oh don't be ridiculous. If they said British, then I'd complain. There's nothing wrong with what they said and I agree with it.
you know they danced the way to london., and by the way my sister is going to blow something up with the bells of saint carmicheal, blairing in her ears.
@dancergkxox yes. at least to me. I used to irish dance and this sounds more like reel than something a highland dancer would dance. must be the accordian. hahahaha!
It is very definitely Scottish music... although I would kind of expect this with Scottish Country dancing. I don't know a ton about this type of Scottish dancing though, maybe you can use the same music???
The Animation Station I believe these schools are from all around the world, but I'm sure mainly Canada and Scotland. For some strange reason highland dance is extremely popular in Canada which is why I suspect they are from Canada.
@@delaneysara7571 .... all are from Scotland, apart from 1 couple from Canada and one couple from Russia .... Scotland invented the modern world, fridges, telephones, t.v., microwave, penicillin, inflated tyres, tarmac roads, vacuum flask .... the list is endless.
+Melody Fussell Cool!! I'm curious about one of the first girls the announcer said they're from Aberdeenshire and one was a Robertson and my family is from clan Robertson in Aberdeenshire. Probably a coincidence but maybe a distant relative?
all the way, they dance the jacobite dance to london. tip a ray rhee, rhee rhee, mother godess, channel of my pain, RHEE. pROcreation, reproduction. abduction subjection, persecution, retribution, TREE. TREE, TREE.
Well ladies didn't do highland dancing anyway. not traditionally--- women doing it is a more recent invention. It was originally a military dance only for men. Not only that but a woman would not traditionally have worn a short skirt either.
@@allisonforfornsed I remember attending a ladies traditional highland dance workshop. I agree - it was gentler steps and seemed to have an influence from country dancing or maybe old time step dancing. It's a vague memory, but the ladies did have a style of their own. It's evolved over many years.
@@allisonforfornsed We wore kilts. 3" above the ground when kneeling. All the traditional dances and this was 50+ years ago now. In fact one of the dancers at our competitions ended up moving to Scotland and dancing professionally, Allen his name was. The best dancers are the men but that is musculature speaking, they can simply leap the highest which is by Allen and Mark won all the championships in my country for years.
@@musicandbooklover-p2o 50 years ago is NOT the time I am referring to. Traditional usually refers to anything that took place between the 1700's to about 1850. Many countries model their folk dance and folk dress to fit the styles of dance and dress during that era. In the case of Highland Dancing, you can go and look it up--- you will find that is well known that Highland dancing was not originally done by women. And of course, a women would never have worn a skirt that short, let alone a kilt, not back then anyway.
