He was this amazing talent
from when he was younger,
531
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,240

how amazing he was all the time.
532
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,840

"Oh, you're brilliant.

to his system,

the worlds eight times,

cannot do something.

that her mom said

You say no, and they go,
"Well, why are you doing it?"
831
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,160
And it's not the money.

hard to give up the dancing
884
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,200
because she loves it so much.
885
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:43,920
I do think that dancing
will always be part of her life.
886
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,240
- I don't think you'd last
in this unless you love it.
887
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,120
No matter where you go,
you'll find yourself,
888
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,880
you know, this kind of thing.
889
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,120
En masse, it could be this way.
890
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,320
You start thinking.
891
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:55,400
I lie in bed--
if I can't sleep,
892
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:56,680
I'll start making up steps.
893
00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:58,480
The duvet could be jumping
up and down.
894
00:35:58,520 --> 00:35:59,600
That's just it.
895
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:00,640
That's the mental side of it.
896
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:01,840
- It is my life.
897
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,080
It is my passion.
898
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,880
I've sacrificed so much
in my life
899
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,120
to be an Irish dancer
900
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,840
and to be where I am right now.
901
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,040
- Inside that skinny
little body of hers,
902
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,280
she has such determination.
903
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,720
- If you're at the top, the only
place you can go is down.
904
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,320
And you really don't want
that to happen,
905
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,680
so the pressure is always there
to stay at the top.
906
00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:33,680
- They just pulled out.
Did you see that?
907
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:35,520
- I did.
And I'm glad you saw it.
908
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:36,960
You're not turning here?
909
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,320
- Yeah, why?
910
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,760
- I thought you
were going straight.
911
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,040
- I'm not going that way.
912
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,480
- I'd be happy
if she goes to the world
913
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,920
and dances really well.
914
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,920
And I know she's capable
of winning it,
915
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,920
but then that doesn't mean
she will.
916
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,520
- Claire's gonna go there
wanting to keep it
917
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,080
'cause she won it last year.
918
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,640
Suzanne's gonna go
wanting to get it back.
919
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:54,760
And I haven't won it,
920
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,120
so I just really want
to win one.
921
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,480
[chuckles]
922
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,040
- I'm Sandun.
923
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,600
I'm this Sri Lankan guy
who lives in Holland,
924
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,240
and I'm Irish dancer.
925
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,840
They call me
the Flying Dutchman.
926
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,520
I want people to say this year,
927
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:20,720
"Flying Dutchman is in
the top five of the world."
928
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,440
When you go to
Irish dance class or to a feis,
929
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,120
you step
into this other world.
930
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,320
I really see it like that.
931
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,040
[rhythmic Scottish
accordion music]
932
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,400
[clacking]
933
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,080
- The first time I looked
at Irish dancing was Riverdance,
934
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,640
and I didn't like it at all.
935
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:48,880
Then I took home a video,
936
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,440
and he watched it
three times a day,
937
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,040
four times a day,
five times,
938
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,000
like little kids watch cartoons,
The Lion King.
939
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,360
And he watched Riverdance.
940
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,640
- It's like a drug.
941
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,640
Irish dancing
is like a drug.
942
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,880
I mean, tough sport--
it's not good for your body.
943
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,400
Get injuries everywhere.
944
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,720
But at the same time,
it gives you this nice feeling.
945
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,680
[blunt punching sounds]
946
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,040
- He's absolutely determined,
if he wants to.
947
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,000
He can also be a lazy bastard.
948
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,840
- I would be seeking thrills
everywhere.
949
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,920
I think probably,
you know,
950
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,960
if someone would be like,
"Hey, take this joint,"
951
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,720
or, "Take this little pill,"
I'd do it.
952
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,560
But now I want to,
you know, perform good,
953
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,680
and you can't do that
with drugs
954
00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:35,520
or an over amount of alcohol.
955
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:36,800
[chuckles]
956
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,760
[both conversing
in Dutch]
957
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,400
- Sandun is the only boy
in the school.
958
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,960
- You have no one else
959
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,400
to compare yourself with
during classes.
960
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,960
You have to do it
all by yourself.
961
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,760
- He made his own mix
962
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,480
because he's cocky enough
to think...
963
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:58,600
[laughs]
964
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,760
That he knows best for himself.
965
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,120
- Sandun cocky?
- Yeah.
966
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,360
- And what is very funny is,
967
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,680
Irish dancing
is a girl's sport.
968
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:09,200
More, it's
a white girl's sport.
969
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:11,600
You don't see colored people
in Irish dancing.
970
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,600
I know there are thousands
of people,
971
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,240
and I've seen
five colored people,
972
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,400
something like that.
973
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,600
And he feels
perfectly comfortable
974
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,480
because people accept him
for what he does dancing
975
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,800
and not for who he is
colored or non-colored.
976
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,280
[speaking Dutch]
977
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:37,160
- Being adopted,
for Sandun, it's very difficult
978
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,560
because he grows up
in a white environment,
979
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,640
being a child of white parents,
980
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,640
and that's not how
it should have been.
981
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,720
He should have grown up
in Sri Lanka
982
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,840
with his own parents.
983
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,720
Being given up by your own mom,
984
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,720
that's not easy to cope with.
985
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,920
We had really rough times
when he was younger.
986
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:10,040
That's why Irish dancing
was very important to us.
987
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,880
Something that made him feel
very good about himself.
988
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,480
Even in the rougher moments
of our lives,
989
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,560
we went to dance practice,
990
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,880
and that always
made it right again.
991
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,080
- That's been a difficult path.
992
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:33,320
It's not been impossible,
993
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,840
but Sandun has many interests,
994
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,040
and now he's gone to puberty,
995
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,000
and it's not helping
to be...
996
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:44,160
- Yeah, he wants to go out
and stay up late
997
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,320
and drink.
998
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,880
That's very normal
for teenagers,
999
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:54,520
but that doesn't combine
very well with the sport.
1000
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,000
- I don't want
to be like,
1001
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,960
"Sandun came, he got seventh,
and that was it."
1002
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,640
No, I want to be like,
"Sandun got tenth.
1003
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,440
"Then he got seventh.
Then he got top five.
1004
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:03,600
"Then he got top three.
1005
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:09,120
Then, bam,
yeah, number one."
1006
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:24,920
- I was born in Glasgow,
1007
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,840
and it's funny
for me to be here
1008
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,000
at the 40th world championships
and be hosting the event.
1009
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,120
There'll be somewhere
just over 6,000 competitors.
1010
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,560
It brings in all through
the week 20,000, 30,000 people.
1011
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,440
And everything culminates here
1012
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,720
in three 35-second performances,
if you're lucky.
1013
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,760
Some of them only get
to perform twice at this event,
1014
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,000
and you get called--
1015
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,640
only 50 people get
to do the last round.
1016
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,080
So really, all these children
are practicing all year round
1017
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,720
for six minutes of dancing.
1018
00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:17,520
- This morning,
he was up at half five.
1019
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,080
And tomorrow he's bound
to wake up as well early.
1020
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:28,280
He's got that excitement and
nervousness all rolled into one.
1021
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,960
There's, like, a coiled spring.
1022
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,200
- When we get to the hotel,
1023
00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:45,760
are we gonna practice
a little?
1024
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,160
- No practicing, no.
1025
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,000
It's just stretching,
a little stretch.
1026
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,120
- Yeah, that's what I mean.
1027
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,640
- Yeah, no, no dancing.
1028
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,480
Yeah.
1029
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,560
That's gorgeous.
1030
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:00,920
- That is beautiful.
1031
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,120
Costumes cost $2,500 American.
1032
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,560
- Give you a ton of roses.
1033
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:06,880
- Wow.
1034
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,720
- You have to see the headband.
1035
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:09,600
- Oh, that's perfect.
1036
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,120
- You like it?
- Yeah.
1037
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,160
- She got a new dress in July.
1038
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,400
She's worn it four times,
maybe.
1039
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,360
- No, more than that, babe.
1040
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,400
The little feises, you mean.
1041
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:23,640
- The--with the white skirt.
1042
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,840
- Uh-huh.
Four times.
1043
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,120
- Four times?
1044
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:28,200
- Yeah, yeah.
1045
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:30,040
- Uh, maybe five?
1046
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,320
- Okay, I don't know.
1047
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:32,480
I thought it was more than that.
1048
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,840
- But she grew.
1049
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,040
- It's beautiful.
1050
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,200
- It's gorgeous.
1051
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:37,480
See what I mean
about this white,
1052
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:38,840
that it's like
that really shiny--
1053
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:39,680
- Yeah, shiny.
1054
00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:41,200
- Almost, like, iridescent.
1055
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:43,000
- And you have socks
that are diamante, right?

in June,

school in the June.
1065

every day,
