I know the voy boards are truly a hellsite but this reply is so funny to me I'm sorry

every time I watch Ru Paul's Drag Race, the Irish dancer in me is like "you fool! get out from behind your competitor! use the front of the stage!!"

for a girl who has never danced planxty davis and likely never will, it sure does get stuck in my head a lot

I get this one set stuck in my head that I never did - it SOUNDS a lot like King of the Fairies, but isn't KOTF. It's driving me crazy because I don't know what it is.

HOLY CRAP THAT'S IT. You're my hero - it's been driving me crazy off and on for over a month. 😂

Nobody at my school even did that set - I literally just know it from stage-managing at feises for years

3x07- The Agreement

an-ruraiocht

the way the irish dance community has absolutely embraced the phrase "whimsical skedaddling" is very funny to me. first proper solid irish dance meme in ages.

context is this video (bluesky link to a repost for those who don't have instagram)

loads of irish dancers are now a) changing their bios to say "whimsical skedaddler" and b) editing competition logos and school names to incorporate the phrase, it's very funny

“ballet isn’t a sport”

The thing about this is, you can barely see their muscles straining from effort. The effort to keep each other and themselves balanced, definitely, but that guy’s hand is barely shaking. The amount of training and strength and balance to go into this is fucking insane.
