Seven countries in one Irish step dance

It starts with one dancer tapping alone in a large warehouse room. That doesn't last long. more

Six more dancers join in from another spot, tapping and leaping to fast, percussive music. Between them, the dancers come from China, Russia, Poland, Germany, Ireland, Brazil and the UK.

Irish step dance is known for a stiff upper body and very quick feet, the style Riverdance carried around the world. Here, each dancer gets a turn in the spotlight to prove it, one of them stone-faced under dim blue light.

The dark suits got people talking. To some viewers they look like businesspeople celebrating a closed deal. Others see "Men in Black" taking up dance, or a hair product ad.

The suits walk forward together through bright doorways. The floor is polished enough to mirror every one of them.

The music builds, and the whole group lines up for the finale in matching black suits. They tap fast and in perfect unison, upper bodies still.

After the suits, the smiles get the most love, theirs and the ones they leave on everyone else. A commenter who says they made the routine and danced the lead stopped by, amazed at the kind notes coming in from around the world. It fits. The dancers came from seven countries to make it.
