Learn Second Step Reel - Irish Dance - Practice with me video 3
This video teaches Irish dance beginners how to dance the second step of Reel and allows you practice along with me. You can keep re-watching and practicing with the speed you like over and over. And as you improve, you can practice along with me using the faster and faster speeds!
This second step is MJP’s choreography. If you are registered with another dance school, they will have their own second step to teach you. You are welcome to learn this for fun or to gain more practice with Irish dance.
In this video, I teach the whole second step two times. Once facing the camera and once facing away because everyone learns differently. Also that lets you see the step from both sides.
First, I explain and show how to do the second step on the right all from the front so you can mirror me and then we review the full step.
Next, I do a practice section of 8 point hop backs to help you learn how to do these.
Following this, for dancers that like to learn from the back, I teach the whole step over again from the back on the right foot including a review of what we learned at the end of this section.
Next is the "practice with me" section where I dance the step on both the Right and the Left slow, medium and then with music all facing away from the camera so you can follow along. The practice sections that are with music have count ins on the screen to help you learn how to count in and start on time to the music.
The video finishes with a demonstration of how to put the second step into the dance! So I dance the lead around from practice video 1, the sevens that I taught in practice video 2 and then the second step on the Right and Left foot.
