"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Niall O'Leary from the Niall O'Leary School of Irish Dance in New York City and today I'm demonstrating intermediate Irish step dance. Our next intermediate Irish dance move in hard shoes is leap brush heel step. So this combination involves leaping on your front foot. Leap, then doing a brush or a tip with the other foot, brush, rotate your ankle, heel and step back. So, we're doing four moves 1, 2, 3, 4.
