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 intermediate Irish step dance. Another very popular hard shoe combination is treble leap. For this one we're going to do a treble like before, but instead of taking your foot away either up in front or up in the back you're going to leap on that same foot. So you are here, treble leap. Watch how when I come out of the treble, I want to point my toes and then leap on the floor. If don't point my toes I won't be able to land successfully on my toes, so watch again. Treble leap and then you would typically switch feet and do the same thing on the left foot. Treble leap, treble leap, treble leap, treble leap. So you can see I'm bringing my foot in front every time keeping my feet crossed. I'll do it a little faster, treble leap. Treble leap, treble leap, treble leap, treble leap and so you're brining your foot up the back as you're leaping.
