Hops in Irish Step Dancing

On behalf of Expert Village my name is Niall O'Leary from the Niall O'Leary School of Irish Dance in New York City and today I'm demonstrating beginner soft shoe Irish dance. I'm now going to show you a combination called hop 1,2,3. We are going to do a hop and 3 steps. So the first hop your going to take your foot off the floor and land your front foot with your knee above your knee. Hop and then you are going to do 3 steps. So it's hop, front, back, front like that let's do that again. So you turn out, crossing your feet, up on your toes and you go hop 1, 2, and 3 and every other hop your going to lift your back foot like this. Hop 1,2,3 and then go back again with the right foot back in front, hop 1, 2,3, reverse, hop 1,2,3 and you could go all the way home doing hop 1,2,3s.
