Irish Dance Videos

It's March and St Patrick's day is coming soon, so I'm posting a few Irish dance videos.  I did not take the footage, but this is the school my daughter danced with for 9 years. Hope you enjoy watching them!
(It has taken me three days to figure out to post these silly videos! I am sooo computer challenged!)

  1. How FUN!!! I enjoyed watching each of these videos since my sewing friend's two DDs take Irish step dancing lessons. I always wanted to learn! :D
    Thanks for sharing these & for stopping by the Gazebo House, too.

  2. Just wanted to say, thank you for following me! I would to love to watch the videos, but my connection is so terrible tonight. I'll have to come back.

    And all I can say is WOW....I have no idea how to post a video. LOL I am a slow learner. But at least I'm learning a little.

    I'll be back to watch.

  5. Oh Gayle...what a wonderful post this is! I thoroughly enjoyed watching each one! I think my favorite one was the Hard Shoe...I loved the "music" of their shoes dancing in chorus! I love Irish music also...but just the sound of their shoes together together in perfect step was really amazing to me. Those kids really had some stamina.

Thanks for Following and for all your nice comments. I appreciate each and everyone. I enjoy your blog and knowing you!....Sue

  9. Well, that was fun!! Here I sit, in my PJs feeling as though I've had a jolly good workout!
    Good for you, getting those videos up. I haven't been able to do that with my own videos - but then I haven't been able to figure out mosaics either.

  10. Love Irish Dancing. Got to experience it first hand in Ireland and also was lucky to have River Dance perform here. No Michael Flatley though.

  14. I loved the videos! They are all such wonderful dancers!

    I'm of Irish descent ( married to a native Italian) and so I always go to the local Irish fairs and festivals and I make a celebration out of St Patrick's Day. if you look on my blog sidebar under LABELS you'll see I did a few blogs about my trips to Ireland.
