Whats the 1st thing that comes to mind when you think of ireland lush Green Landscapes in goodness. The country is also known for its irish dance. And thanks to a pair of brothers is more popular than ever. When an international pop, you use a kit companies, irish tap, dancing were most likely watching videos of the Gardner Brothers. They gained over 7000000 followers on social media, and theyre helping to introduce young people all over the world to irish dance. A centuries old traditions to 10. So i think when, when people are watching us dance, i think something that really sounds out to them is how in think we are all the time and, and how well i, id like to think how much when we have a lot of the comments that we get is just like we love how much joy it seems to bring you guys being us. Yeah. Because we we, we bounce off each other. Yeah. Energy wise, the, the were going to hear why 2 american born irishmen are introducing irish dancing to the tip, top generations, how discipline they have to be and how they keep coming up with new choreography, theres always been an attraction to the rhythm and the grace and the, the boys that are sponsors high, but i think its something that were, you know, trying to experiment with, with understanding of showcasing hip hop moves and top moves and jobs and callaway moves and all that into what i are sensing and showcasing just how unique the art form is yeah, i think the goal of ours was to really push the boundaries of, of our science and when we started this on social media. So what suddenly propelled the brothers to fame. After years of dancing, the michael and matthew took up irish dance at h 3. 00 and 4. 00. They were born in the united states, but their parents later took them back to their home country. They soon became 2 of the worlds best irish dancers, winning 5 World Championship titles, and joining the river. Dance ensemble this show has been touring, was wide for nearly 30 years, and introduced many audiences to irish folk dance. And the celtic music typical of ireland Gardner Brothers has put their own spin on it. In particular, during the coven pandemic, they develop choreography as for pop hits and posted the videos on social media and collected over 800000000 views. On the demo model, every song has its own choreography. When were dancing, and when were getting our be, you know, the sound, the rid of it. Its really all about your balance and your techniques. Thats something thats so amazing about our science because theres so many different combinations of how you can make a sound like how you, you know, the, of the basic shuffle we know, which is just a basic push pull movement and then your swapping push pull. But then you start to add in like the, the toe on the hill at the same time. On a twist, you know, youre, its, its, theres so many, theres an and this amount of combinations that you can do, which is why so such a permanent type on michael and matthew have now become far more than dancers, theyre influencers, content creators and ambassadors for irish culture and back in dublin, their majors social media stars once they practice several hours a day to get themselves ready for the next viral head and down on us 3 and try and maybe lets try and get that thing of the figure as well. One of the videos i didnt expect to do as well as the date was to country music. We were putting our stats the country music. Im stuck with just flu, a. I think whats, what weve learned over the years is like, yeah, as long as youre having fun doing it, it doesnt really matter how the reaction is and that one we had so much fun. We just lost the whole way through doing that video. It was like, we were born in denver, we were cowboys when we were kids, and then we were cowboys. Now again putting the house on for this video, it was, it was so much fun. Small wonder then that the Gardner Brothers have taken on yet another country song. Be on say, texas, hold them.

Our 1st stop. By last year to the demo, the, to the royal puddles has more than 3000. 00 rooms. And hes over 135000 square meters. One of the largest pulses in europe. It was built in the 18th century in the box tile is still official. Residents of the king of spain, maria venue from the Royal Palace Communications team, showing me wrong, like when somebody uh yeah, this room is impressive and i see the throne there. I can see the one in a right here. No, no, its not allowed to sit on the throne. Im sorry about historically, its where the kings used to hold receptions and receive audiences.

Not far from the east on other beautiful highlights off moderate, but also module which also has a dark past. The square torture executions and public punishments took place during the spanish inquisition. Luckily, this time started long gone.

We find out why a similar is sweet and fluffy, but make no mistake about it. This seemingly harmless pastry has a way of leading speeds into temptation, especially during the fasting time of lent. The semblance has a stain on its history. It said to have killed a cane, but nobody in sweden seems to worry about that too much. It was not the only 178. 00 the look. Maybe he had like a Heart Disease as well, so i would glancing everything is life threatening. If its too much of it, we eat as much as we can and try to stay alive. According to legend, idle frederick of sweden is the king who ate himself to death. That was in 1771. After elaborate banquet, he 814. 00 portions assembled at the time they were still served in milk. The diagnosis background was a stroke triggered by india.
