    Great video Arlen.

    The Irish step dancrs seemed to have more precise/subtle foot work but the highland dancers had far more elan'.

    Your knees must be in far better shape than mine to do Highland Dancing!

    I'll stick to SCD

    Cheers

    And then it came to the many peoples of North America from Quebec, to the Blue Ridge to the acadian where it became tap, buck dancing, step dancing, and clogging..

    To my uneducated eyes (I have never done any organized dancing), I would say that Highland dancing is more graceful and reminds me more of ballet while irish step dancing reminds me of tap dancing. I dont really prefer one over the other, it just depends on my mood.
