Tap & Irish Dancers Face Off In Epic Dance Battle— Have Millions In Awe.

If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between Irish Dance and tap dance, wonder no more. These dancers show both their live audience and almost 5 million online viewers, in the most hilarious and entertaining fashion, that fast footwork is pretty much the only thing they have in common.

“Tall and straight my Mother taught me, this is how we dance. Tall and straight my Father taught me, this is how we dance…”the narrator intones.

Then at 1:22, three men dressed in black slacks and white dress shirts enter stage right, eyeing the pair with barely disguised contempt. Moments later, they join in on the act but keep their upper bodies ramrod straight in step with Irish Dance tradition, essentially a human version of Happy Feet.
