My downstairs neighbors will love this hahahaha

The learning of the jig starts at 3:03

This is how I will greet every Irish person from now on. Thank you

It's 4 am, time to learn some dances!

As a college student who wanted to learn this at home over spring break, I'm really grateful that you created this video. I ended up listening to a lot of Irish jigs growing up and felt the desire to step to it, but I didn't know how. I'm really grateful to this because now I can add this to my daily routine, even after spring break is over and you really break it down in a way that even those who are watching this as their first tutorial can fully understand.

This is one of the best, clearest Irish dance instruction/demonstration videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

Yay, St. Paddy’s day! I will learn as an ode to my ancestors, and to make my husband laugh at me. 🍀🍀🤣🤣

Love your videos & concise instructions. As an older adult I find the thought of taking classes with 4-10 year olds too awkward and even a bit embarrassing. Your videos allow me to happily step in my basement. Please keep them coming!!

Great tutorial!! Had to watch a few times through but got it within a half hour. Thank you!

I've never thought I could dance anything like this. Thank you, Tyler, you're a great teacher!

I’ve always wanted to learn how to Irish dance because I’m half Irish ☘️🇮🇪

Hello from Russia. This is the greatest lesson of The Irish dance. I love it and want to learn it as much as it possible now

You're helping me embrace my Irish roots.

I'm super sad we don't have any Irish Dance Studio here so your videos are really great to learn it at home! Thank you for that!

I step danced when I was younger and can still fit in the handmade dress my aunt made in Ireland. Juuuuuust bought the soft & hard shoes. I feel like a little kid again now and can’t wait to hopefully get some muscle memory back from your videos! Thanks! 💃

Tried this again today and… let me back up. I’ve danced other styles before, but when I tried this beginner light jig I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. It took a lot of practice and then I got busy with other stuff. I revisited it again today, months later, and… victory! I can do it, up to speed, and both sides. Now to put on some light jig music and drill it till I can’t forget. Thanks for making this video Tyler.

I have watched this video 20 time in 2 days 😀

Glad that the rhythm is broken down into simple numerics. I watched a Celtic dance comp yesterday and not one of the 3 kids I asked had a clue about the time signature or which moves happened on which beats. One guy (older beginner) said he sang the words in his head.

You make this look so easy!

As an American ginger who's learned an Irish accent, this is the next step of my plan. Then I'll eat Lucky Charms and begin guarding my gold.

Every time I mention that I’m almost half Irish my friend tells me to hit the Irish jig so I’m doing this for her

With winter coming on, I'm looking for exercises to include in my "basement hero" routine, and this is a lot more fun than high-knees! It actually gets me breathing pretty hard pretty fast, I'm just not as light on my feet as you are. When I get more comfortable with this one I''m going to see what else you've got.

Light Jig,Thank you teacher for your careful teaching, I like it very much

So similar to the first jig I learned! Instead of hop knee back 234 we did point oknee back 234

Alright! This is the easiest Irish dance lessons I have found. Thank you!

Hi Tyler, i came across this video because I really want to try Irish dance ( again) but in my own pace. I stopped my lessons because I was getting pain in my Shanebones 😥 so, your video looks easy to follow. I really go and start. And have fun with this 😁

I'm Dear Tyler. Hello from the Russian Empire !!! Thank you very much for posting a guide on how to dance a jig. For I swore to dance it at my aunt's grave. Hug you!!! Ilya Mikhailovich from Russia.

Thanks for this, I love the way you explain the steps. Can't wait to look at all your videos!

My sons (9 and7) really enjoyed watching. They have zero dance experience but it was great to see you as an inspirtation. Thank you!

Thank you!!!

Tyler, you can't be that good!!! You're amazing! Congratulations! And thanks for being so generous so as to share all your knowledge.

Thank you for your tutorial!! My friend and I learned so much

I have always loved to watch the Irish dance. I use to be in shape but due to injuries and age (65) I am not so good at it. But I just tried the dance you showed us. How fun but hard. I am going to try this everyday because one day I want to do the whole dance without stopping. Love it. Now I know how out of shape I am but intend to fix that. Thank you. 😅

Being scottish this music is home 🤣

Loved it! I used to compete and never got past beginner.

Love this, thank you so much!! 🥰🙏

Hi! Thank you for the video. You are a good teacher. Thank you.

Thanks for this great video! I took Irish Step in college and have taught a beginner class with my elementary students after school. It's been a few years, so this is a nice refresher and variation to what I already know.

I really enjoyed it

Awesome dance!! Hope to see more soft show jigs!!

This is SOOO good! Thank you!

oh my god this is the one i learned when i took classes as a kid! i've been dying to remember it!

first time, love it! thank you. 🙏👍👍

Thank you Tyler! This was so easy to understand, I wish you were my teacher in real life, but this is amazing, thank you!!!

Can't wait to try this

Awesome! Thank you.

The dance finally starts at 3:55. You're welcome.

Nice video, thanks for sharing 🫶

This video was so good!!! I want to start Irish dancing as an adult. Hard time finding a dance school that does adults classes

Now me can dance to the Wellerman !

I enjoy that.

Yo Tyler!! Keep up the great work!!! 🙂🙂🙂

Thanks I got it

Now I won't feel like I can't dance at my wedding. Thank you!

Ahh reminds me of when I first started. ❤❤❤

Thanks!

Thank u so muchhhhhhhh

thanks🥰😁

10:12 practice with music who came to practice ❤

As an irish i can confirm this is accurate

only with you I understood what to do))) thanks💋

The best part about this is the fact that this jig is the first jig (and dance) that I ever learned too🥰

You know I’m glad I took tap there is a move called irishes that are almost identical

do a 45 min session of the first step

Nice performance

The first step I have to practice

Yasssssss....sweeet thank you 🙏🏿 Salam

Thank you Lad

We can teach this to teenagers,adults and children:O!

There are SO many reasons to dance a jig inbound, we'd better do it right! :)

That dance is so hard but cool

Lol I switched to my left and did better.. haha I think my being a leftie helped. This was fun

Bravooo

Thank you for publishing this beginning tutorial. I am a professional ballroom dance instructor and have been instructing one type of dance or another since I was 12 years old, with tap dance being one of my all-time favorites to this day. Recently I got into watching Irish step dancing, which has been a much needed inspirational journey, as it is giving me something new to learn and it's always fun to feel connected to my Irish heritage as well. I have a few detail questions about this video that I am curious about and need clarification on, if you would be so kind to provide it. 1. Are you in a demi turnout with both feet (45 degrees) for the entire jig? 2. should toes always be in a full point when they're off the ground, or should the ankle stay somewhat relaxed? 3. Are you starting in 5th position? The camera or at least my screen kept cutting your feet out of the picture and these important details could not be seen multiple times during the video. 4. What percentage of weight should be on the front of the foot versus the back of the foot, heel versus toes, and what percentage of weight should be on each foot when starting? 5. I dance for 6 Plus hours a day 5 days a week and never have my knees hurt but I was experiencing almost immediate torque pain in my knees particularly the left one from the get-go of practicing with your video. Is this type of dance just weird hard on the knees or am I doing something incorrectly such as turning my foot out too far versus where my hip is turned out? It's really the beginning foot position that seems to be creating this glitch in my body mechanics and I very much want to correct it so that I can continue to advance in this type of dance. I obviously need to avoid body brutality, so I can continue my career, so please advise if it is just notoriously hard on the knees in this way... I'm almost sure that it's user error, LOL. = Good dancing is good dancing and it should feel amazing when it's correct! Love & Starlight Thank you so much for your time and for being part of my new fetish kandi dance! inspiration! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Inspiration = Inspire Action!) 💜

Rats, I want to do this but when I tried the range of motion on this dance is too much for my left plated ankle! GL all, love your channel Tyler!

I am also an irish dancer.

What does everyone use if they have carpeted floors? First time trying Irish dance lol.

Can you give the link for the Irish jig @TylerSchwartzDance

Idk if you'll reply but I remember learning something with my feet and ankles been so many years ago

my first one was sevens

My crush is Irish but he’s more like a dad to me

Hey will this work with out shoes or socks on?

Hi Tyler! Can you help me with some websites to find hard shoes for beginners? Your videos are really exciting, I enjoy all of them. Best wishes and thanks for the help if you can!

This is very similar to the one I learned... Except mine had skips and cuts and lifts lol

Im starting to Learn my Tus Grád Reel
