We No Speak Americano (but our hands do)

A nifty little video for the hit song "We No Speak Americano". It features some amazingly choreographed 'hand dancing' that must have taken a long time to perfect.

After picking my jaw back up off the floor, I got to wondering why the style felt so familiar when I hadn't seen anything like this before?

A quick look at the other videos on the account revealed that the pair are Irish dancers, and that their hands are acting out the movements their feet would make when Irish dancing (also the pair's skills have already landed them a place in a McDonald's advertising campaign.)

    I love how they just stare forwards with no expression on their faces, that's how you can tell they're Irish dancers!

    Maybe it's some ancient Celtic tradition that prevents them showing any form of facial expression?
