Faithful Soul er en storslået og følelsesladet 90/2 intermediate waltz, der bevæger sig i et roligt, næsten ceremonielt tempo. Dansen har lange, flydende fraser, som giver plads til store bevægelser, elegante drej og dyb musikalitet. Den føles som en fortælling i bevægelse – ideel til dansere, der elsker waltzens dramatiske udtryk.
Gary O’Reilly (IRE) og Maggie Gallagher viser her deres mest lyriske side. De er kendt for at kunne skabe koreografier, der matcher musikkens følelsesmæssige dybde, og “Faithful Soul” er et skoleeksempel på deres evne til at lade trin og musik smelte sammen.
“Faith’s Song” af Celtic Woman er et episk og spirituelt nummer med stærke keltiske rødder. Musikken har en næsten sakral stemning, som bærer dansen og giver den en højtidelig, næsten meditativ karakter.
Celtic Woman er et irsk vokalensemble, kendt for deres rene vokaler, klassiske arrangementer og stærke forbindelse til irsk tradition. Deres musik egner sig særligt godt til waltz og langsomme, følelsesbårne danse.
