Four women were sweeping the stage as they prepared for their dance number at the American School of Madrid.

These gorgeous ladies then dropped their brooms and raised their hands after the music started to hint at the beginning of their performance. They led the audience to provide them a beat by clapping their hands as they slowly lined up in front of them.

Smiling brightly, the women pick up their feet in front of their audience—and hearing the pitter-patter of their heels is satisfying all on its own.

The first lady comes forward and begins the dance, with the other three following her lead closely behind. They straightened up their lines once again and synchronized the clip-clop of their heels. The beat went so well with every tap of their feet that you could just watch and listen to them all day!

in the next segment, they hold hands as they form a circle and dance while rotating counter-clockwise and clockwise. They then pick up their brooms as they perform simple stunts around it. The thudding sounds of the brooms on the stage floor complement the rhythm of the performance, and the crowd couldn’t be loving it more.

When they let go of their brooms, another lady moves forward to spearhead the final part of the show.

As the first woman executes the dance, each of the other dancers respectively follows at the end of each pattern. Every step was executed accurately.

After tap-dancing the same pattern along with some added snappy arm movements, they grab their brooms for the last time and strike them hard on the floor to signify the end of the performance.

After it went online, people from all over the world loved their dance!

The musical accompaniment was a folk song titled “Cotton-Eyed Joe,” originally composed and arranged by Irish folk group The Chieftains.

The entire time, the dancers moved their feet with grace and enthusiasm, making the show enjoyable for both them and their audience.

As mentioned, their awesome performance and recognition have since spread all over the world.

After the group uploaded their dance on YouTube, locals and foreigners were able to admire the beauty of the Irish culture. Receiving positive feedback from the internet, the video was also able to gather almost 9 million views after it was uploaded in May 2014.

The group in question is Irish Treble, a band made up of four dancers accompanied by four musicians who perform Irish dance.

In each of their outings, they entertain the crowd with lively rhythms and moves. Their show is called “Irlanda en Danza,” and their dances range from traditional 18th-century dances to contemporary choreography, to the sound of jigs, slip jigs, reels, and other popular rhythms of Irish music.

In all, it is an exquisite blend of tradition and modernity.

Since Irish folklore is the main feature of their shows, it is fused with different styles like flamenco and rock that gives it a touch of freshness and originality. Put all together, it’s a fascinating combination that isn’t lost on the spectator!
