If I understand correctly.. you posted this video to show people not dancing traditional.....
I recently talked with a friend who went to Ireland... he is an accomplished fiddler and was looking forward to finding a session to join while there... What he said he discovered was that in Ireland there are different forms of sessions... When he asked a local where the music was the local said" which do you want? "trad" or one of the other s (I forgot what he called the others) ... So any of you that have gone to Ireland.. did you find this true? If so... the same thing is going on there as is here .... I enjoy and want to promote tradition... but part of me really enjoys the fact that there is this music that gets people up and dancing in groups WITH each other In this video... even tho it perhaps is not traditional... look how much fun they are having and how many people are involved. I have also noticed that the younger generation tends to want to do the more energetic dancing and will inject that energy into the dance anyway....I remember doing that myself when I was younger. AS far as dancing tradtional.. maybe noone has actually taught these people what the tradtion is... and maybe they think they are dancing as everyone else does..
