Michael Jackson meets Irish dancing in this insanely cool video from ProdiJIG

"CAST off those knee high socks, throw away those frocks, and join the Irish Dance Revolution..."

That's the tag line that comes with the newest YouTube video from Irish dancing outfit ProdiJIG.

The ground breaking dancers, led by Irish dancing star  and World Champion Alan Kenefick, are said to be "redefining" Irish dancing for the next generation.

ProdiJIG don't do traditional. The dancers choose modern clothing over the formal traditional Irish dancing costumes and mix a variety of dance styles, including urban, hip-hop and Jazz with a few moves Micheal Jackson would approve of thrown in.

The short clip, about 1 minute 40seconds in total , was shot on the bare industrial land around Cork city's port, with  a rousing soundtrack from progressive traditional music band MOXIE and composer and sound designer Peter Power.

The video was released to promote the upcoming summer show at Cork Opera House.
