Very artful and passionate.

* best have some under-garments before attempting any high kicking antics in public

** also, there is considerable wear & tear on non-emasculated lads' jewels the more they jounce around

I was hoping more of the women jumping around, because I like equality and all, especially the jumping around and the women.

I love the hair on the men and the talent !
That is acrobatic and dance.

no, 80-100 years later the clan is still basically destroyed. I can't even remember the dance's name; it had like 26 syllables with exact intonation pronunciations. it involves wearing hakama and line dancing, that's about all I remember.

gosh I hope nobody killed us all thinkin we'd just come right back.

it's an okinawan clan btw.

Because I don't feel the need to, but the one you posted is from the Highlands & Islands, so it's not even Scottish, let alone English.

Reread the opening post which would invalidate your first post already.

You may want to learn something about Scotland.

Wiki
Historically, the major social unit of the Highlands was the clan. Scottish kings, particularly James VI, saw clans as a challenge to their authority; the Highlands was seen by many as a lawless region. Some Lowlands commentators viewed the Highlanders as backward and more "Irish", Erse. Following the Union of the Crowns, James VI had the military strength to back up any attempts to impose some control. The result was, in 1609, the Statutes of Iona which started the process of integrating clan leaders into Scottish society.
The gradual changes continued into the 19th century, as clan chiefs thought of themselves less as patriarchal leaders of their people and more as commercial landlords.
The first effect on the clansmen who were their tenants was the change to rents being payable in money rather than in kind. Later, rents were increased as Highland landowners sought to increase their income. This was followed, mostly in the period 1760–1850, by agricultural improvement that often (particularly in the Western Highlands) involved clearance of the population to make way for large scale sheep farms. Displaced tenants were set up in crofting communities in the process. The crofts were intended not to provide all the needs of their occupiers; they were expected to work in other industries such as kelping and fishing. Crofters came to rely substantially on seasonal migrant work, particularly in the Lowlands.

And you may want to actually travel to the Highlands & Islands, and not try and educate someone well versed in Scottish History... Wiki is only useful for a jumping point... and shouldn't be used as exact knowledge, I would have expected more from you.

Edit: You still haven't explained why you picked a non English national dance, you have stated before you live in England, did you move there from Scotland, The Highlands & Islands or from Northern Ireland?
