Michael Flately Lord Of The Dance

[shvingey69]

HE BE THE SAINT OF THE STEP!!!!!!!!!!

[151Anastacia]

OMG LUV IT!!!!

[wackster66]

In May 1989, Flatley set a Guinness Book world record for tapping speed at 28 taps per second,.He broke his own record for tapping speed in February 1998, by achieving 35 taps per second. love this..and him..sent shivers down my spine when I seen it live.

[Nibelungenfrau]

and the music with it.... WOWWW.... I can hear that thousand times....

[cutechick86]

Love this. Is this the original LOTD? (Not feet of flames) Saw it on PBS years ago. It's so utterly perfect, I just can't........

[FireFaeriePrincess]

There is someone better than him... though he seems not to think so

[m1kewithaone]

@FireFaeriePrincess who?

[Amelia10178553]

michael flatly is my ultimate hero!

[TheUnknownHarbingers]

the trick is to disconnect your ankles from your body and flail around.. hehe.. 

[JiS01]

He stole a lot from Michael Jackson but he's amazing

[MegaSimi77]

Wahnsinn!!!

[davonka1]

prostě super...

[TeamTARDIS2015]

Why do they all HAVE to have curly hair?

[peko651]

bitte last mich einmal live dabei sein bitte

[bluespell1]

he quit on the best river dancing team he was the head of the show. when he quit he hurt the show little because he as their best man. he quit because he wanted more money.

[Usbxxx]

lol

great ,amazing dance !

Greetings from Germany,Hessen

[modser75]

Flatley prancing around like a big egit is not necessary and ruins the show in my opinion. There is no room for a big head like his in Irish dancing. Go learn salsa or something flately

[TheSammyJo1987]

@modser75

it's his show! he can do what he likes, plus he's supposed to be the "Lord of the dance" hence the prancing

[raysalsa1]

@modser75 hey i got a bum leg and can salsa dance. this however i couldn't ever do. flatley at least what i call real talent unlike alot crap out these days. the guy was a world champion irish dancer in his teens. he is real deal. i believe hes about 40 in this vid. he makes the show better. trust me. his understudy john carey is in this show. i seen him perform the lead dance role twice live. he comes real close to mike in terms of ability and charisma. some other leads dont. take my word.

[Plur307]

Did you guys know that his real name is Shwishy McJackass?

[THEBIGKOSTRINSKY]

4:06 to 4:08.....fruitiest moment in history

[Brighteyes1ful]

Love the dancing but the music stands out much more, does anyone know where i can get it?

[TheSammyJo1987]

@Brighteyes1ful

i-tunes

[whareweruin92]

I saw the tip of a boob... really... sorry

[68Misconi]

Michael you rock

[argella1300]

is it possible to buy this on dvd?

[longhrons1]

yes you can get it on amazon =)

[strazhnyj]

Такие люди дважды не рождаются.

Талант из талантов.

Гений из гениев.

Мастер из мастеров.

Побывать на концерте этого исполнителя и труппы наверное мечта многих людей. Спасибо.

[TheKriticar]

awsoomeeeeee

[ShotoJamf]

Great dancing, but the film editing looks like it was done by a third grader who just took his new editing machine out for a test drive. Pay attention: Short attention span editing does not work when cutting dance routines (in particular). The dance is what's important, not the idiot flashy editing. Got it?

[Colleen8410]

@ShotoJamf I didnt edit it i just took the video and uploaded it

[Julietta334]

absolutely great dancer, but the smell of pretention off him is ridiculous.

[ldavi32]

God, he was gorgeous in this one. Oh ya, and he can dance.

[heatherdurds]

my neighbor is his sister. i swear, theyre rich practically and i can prove i no them and that my neighbors his sister. i met him and he held me when i was a baby

[shara071]

we believe ya.. flatley is so cool..for me there's only one lord of the dance and thats him.. forever

[chatty28]

this is awesome!

[MrTylerennis1984]

this is very similar to my every day life.

[moptopkid]

MrTyler, you think your good. I taught them all to dance.

[MissLauri26]

Wow

The mix of music & dance is phenomenal and hypnotizing

And Stavros Flately got some bits smack on! :D

[timHYPERLITE]

[moga3331]

[rossanaicosta]

[joye25]

[Colleen8410]

[cannonbulk]

@Colleen8410 He was born in America. That was my point.

[jippy33]

[Ischi71]

Ok Granted - he can dance. But do I want to see it? NO

However Stavros Flately I enjoyed immensly. What a great duo!!!!

[TricDoc]

I want his legs

Go Stavros Flatly!

[xsinglikeno1stherex]

lol, for some random reason i've always loved all things Michael Flatley. I've got all the tribute DVD's and everything! When i was younger i used to just play them over and over, my parents got sooooo fed up, haha! My Mum's Irish though so yeah, that's where I probably get it from! I also really want Stavros Flatley to win, I'm gonna vote for them because they're so amazing! x

[ThreeWordsFirstWord]

I dnot think they are his legs!

[tpsossff]

They must train like top rate athletes to do that

[futtifan]

They have to keep there legs in ice for hours after a performance so they don't damage their legs.

[mcanney08]

Id fall flat on my a** if i tried to dance that fast....not to mention a major asthma attack!!!! LOL...Awesome vid tho

[MAGUS1947]

I'm sure I have seen Flatley and his car on a couple of time a few doors down from where I live. Is he around the Worcestershire area?

[koddswollop]

I LIVE IN WORCESTERSHIRE!!!!!

[Addicttofun111]

[Jteppic]

[spruceval]

Is it just me or do your hairs stand on the back of your neck

[shara071]

yep... me 2.. hes awesome...

[LadyJustice666]

Yes.

It is a sign it has touched your soul.

[jenwen22]

5/5

[alrobin]

And people say white people can't dance.

[FeisGirl]

*shock* those aren't Irish dance shoes he's got on! Those are tap shoes! Micheal you have mis led us all!

[MULBERRYICECREAM]

I would give him one.

[hammouminator]

some stupid cunts find nothing better to do than giving negative remarques about ppl who move their asses and shows something to the world behind this gay dance like u call ppl r working hard and sweating to gives better performance every time so if u can do better show us , if not just STFU

[petar982]

I'm sooo by your side...the thing you said is sooo true. I've seen these people dancing and they were sooo amazing. It's like some sort of magic...but really, because I think no one can dance like that except for them. Once more...I totally agree with you. Great comment :)

[hammouminator]

ty am so tired of the silly comments they give remarks but they rn't good at any shit exept runing mouth

[mydragonlord]

im with you on that one mate

[hammouminator]

ty dude am glad

[pbordi2004]

besides all the fucks that post all sort of shit here i would say that michael it's a bit like mihail barasnicov!a true reinventor of dance! for people who really know!

[Exeq1987]

goosebumps

[psy472]

Michael is far more expressive than the new guys in River dance. Just take a look at his arms while he's dancing versus the other guys. The others seem like stiff boards bouncing up and down. I'll miss Michael and his expressive dance.

[shara071]

them guys have to dance this way with the arms like so.. thats the way irish dancing is done, micheal bn the star has to stand out.....doh ur comment made me smile...

[DanteAntonelli]

Fact is gay dancers are more expressive, maybe River dance is becoming somewhat homophobic and has started hiring straight dancers, which has to be quite hard to do, like getting straight fashion designers lol

[AgentCross420]

Riverdance is shit compared to Lord of the Dance. If you see it in person it's no contest. However some videos have better editing then others.

[shara071]

go on flately.. ur the greatest dancer of our time....nobody compares so far

[Nightmareb4Chrimbo]

Great dancing, great music, crappy editing.

There wasn't even 15 seconds without it switching views of the stage, which I why I personally prefer Riverdance.

But it's still unbelieveably good.

[ringnorien]

What's wrong with his ribs?

[thevintagerose]

Good stuff. I wish the screaming girls would shut up, tho, lol.

[heatherwind]

I loved this show - it was a real slap in the face to those that claimed Riverdance was their idea and replaced Michael. Lord of the Dance proved his creativity, and that he was the true passion behind the show all along. The story is wonderful as well as the dance - there is just no comparison to the original.

[noss252]

i really really wish i'd gone to see this... love it

[ladytess37]

simlpy the best world over

[jellybeans9999]

this is my skating program:) but i dont have the opening 50 or w.e. seconds and mines cut down to 2:40.... i love this piece

[Derieri]

Nagyon szeretjük!! Csodálatos!:)) köszi!:))

[G35TAR]

i saw this live in vegas, its only a million times better live,, too bad micheal flately doesnt dance anymore. by far the best show i have ever seen and i usally hate this kinda stuff

[maartje87]

i so totally love that guy!!!!!!!! flatly is the best!!!

[30488181]

"Don't get me wrong, this dancing is AMAZING and I am awe-struck at how fast their feet go! It blows my mind, but the first thing I thought of was that Seinfeld episode."

Lack of arm movement is symbolic- The Irish slaves/prisoners danced like this while in chains, thus they couldn't move their arms.

[nala2624]

im celtic, cool dancing, my feet dont move that fast tho

[bailehh]

I saw Lord of the Dance, heh.

It was quite good, actually.

[Dickschic]

Anyone ever see that Seinfeld episode when Elaine has that girl in her office that doesn't move her arms at all? That's what this reminds me of. Why don't they use more arm movements?

Don't get me wrong, this dancing is AMAZING and I am awe-struck at how fast their feet go! It blows my mind, but the first thing I thought of was that Seinfeld episode. Michael Flately is AMAZING!!!

[Serimna]

yes, he's doing

[lynx0angel]

He's doing Celtic Tiger, isn't he?

[falenangel]

I remember when I was a kid I discovered that I could dorythem and dance around with my feet at the same time I thought that is was my discovery silly as I was little did I know that it is an old dance style. lol

[dernieremode]

how many people tried to do irish dancing after seeing this? i know i did (and i failed wonderfully too, lol)

[EnthaupteteLeiche]

I did it for a whole year before I realised I couldn't do orchestra, ballet and irish dancing all on one day... when I was 8.

Haha.

[ROKERPARK1968]

r man,that is soooooo good,is michael flately still doing this???

[GundamFanGirl]

Nope, he quit, now he's doing a show called "Lord of the Dance"

[ROKERPARK1968]

Thats a shame,thanks for the reply:-)

[doritosboy]

this video is from Lord of the Dance back in 1996 ,, he stopped dancing in 2001 ,, since 2005 he is touring around the world with his new show ' Celtic Tiger'

[MINDFREAKish]

I love the song. my high school orchestra played it for one of our concerts, i wish i had recorded it

[PaddyCaddy]

That's so cool, I love the song! Wish I could play it. I only play the flute :(

[shotgun782]

I used to dance to this all the time when I was younger lol. Theres only one of these dances I can do and its not really this one lol.

[Limecapp]

riverdance is so cool i'd like to learn it but alas i am to lazy

[honda1386]

A wee gold pixie appeared to me in a dream behind Ailwee hill.

SHe whispered to me: Dance, FLatley, Dance, For feck's sake DANCE!

[marco6309]

richtiger scheißßßßßßß

[Beatleschick1]

can you imagine if he were to break a hole in his pants while dancing. hehe

[kingofpassaic]

i want some pants like that...there so tight you can read the how to wash instructions on the inside tag of there underwear

[GreenishGoblin]

That is possibly the koolest title you could have

"Hello there im Michael Flately, Lord....Of The Dance"

[RightOnQ]

Damn, those are some tight-ass pants!

[jojobevco]

Maybe he's emo LOL

[cR4V3NsReVeNgA]

rofl

[laurelianna]

well, he IS the lord of the dance, that's for sure.great!

[WaterCrane]

The girl in the gold costume is known only as "The Little Spirit" - she comes across as a young and innocent entity who helps the Lord of the Dance a couple of times. I'll have to watch the whole show again to remember the entire story.

I never get tired of Michael Flatley and the energy and raw passion he portrays in his footwork.

[mattiittammatti]

brilliant must be great to dance like that. nd dont be a kiss arse serge

[whymusttherebeawill]

Someone's a smart alec :) Good for you!!!

[mattiittammatti]

lol i cant be doin wi ppl like dat

[irishdncerchamp]

hahahahahahahahaha why would they make somebody wear such a ridiculous gold costume? is that a guy or a girl?

[whymusttherebeawill]

Old woman here talking: pay attention to the symbolism please:) I agree the person in gold appears to be a peter pan persona. The dance is about the fight :)

[Serge165]

Agreed, and that's why I'm watching, Ma'am, it's all about symbolism to me

[whymusttherebeawill]

LOL :) Don't be a kiss arse :) Thank you kindly!!

[cgmd75]

I have seen Lord Of The Dance 3 times and Riverdance 8, I cant describe the feeling I get watching these dancers. Its incredible. If you havent seen it I strongly recomend going

[aftertoucherr]

I love it all, the music, the dance, everything :D

[clove007]

Michael Flatley IS the Lord of the Dance! He's like a prancing stallion. WoW!

[DanceIsMyThangx]

Thats Reeli Amazin'

Wish I Could Dance Like That =D x

Ah Well

x

[monikella]

AMAZING!

[MsShanaz]

im not irish but i love rivedance soooooooooooo much!

just love it..

[sweetlove07alisha]

wich ones r inorder! i wanna seee the whole thing!

[scinut1]

Is anyone else thinking Flatley is possesed with the sould of Michael Jackson circa 1987 in this video? hehe this show is amazing

[protocol2001]

Totally!

[slasherb]

I can't stop watching this, I have the DVD, I have the Soundtrack, I have Riverdance.....man oh man does this bring back memories! AN amazing talent.

[wiiman1230]

i saw the the show almost a month ago

[slasherb]

I went to the First showing of this ever in the Point Depot, Dublin, Flatley was using it as a pre warm up for the Tour Start, he wanted to see if it was gonna be a hit! I nearly died when he flew out....just PURE GENIUS, he maybe a bit of an "odd ball", but you cannot say anything about his dancing talent!

[catou07]

I saw that show last january, I'll never forget it!

[oftuun]

freaking awesome!

[jewcce]

i will se this show in oktober, can't wait !!!

[brisengrwen]

sents when was he the lord of the dance? is he self-proclaimed?

[carolotero]

what a talent, this is a mesmerazing video, thank u so much for sharing!

[pf28c]

an't he married

[Salliannie]

I really love the origin music that they use, the whole woodwind-strings thing, does anyone know if this was performed with a live orchestra?

[prozak180]

I´ve been in two shows and no they dont use a live orchestra (just imagine the cost of transportation for all the orchestra) ..but anyway it sounds great, download the music if you like this show its pretty cool.

[Zoria1]

Captivating dancing!! I wonder if he's still dancing?

[plunkza]

Nope. Apparently he did something to his knee and cant dance anymore. Sad...

[colleen1888]

no didnt he not catch a disease or suhin ? i dunno but he isnt dancing i know that

[Jacobs1003]

Never get sick and tired of watching such timing.

[pmarshall0989]

i don't think mf used cocaine for his energy i was an irish dancer and all you need is stamina and a lot of hard work.

[amanjoy10]

I don't care what you say about male dancers and all, but Michael Flatley is freakin' amazing!

[LanDuul]

WOW OMG ...

[alisonlng]

i also think MF is cool but kateyscarlett he was a heavy cocaine user, thats were most of his energy comes from !

[doritosboy]

but i dont think MF use cocaine for his energy

[colleen1888]

no way i am an irish dancer and although its maily the routines that are different all u need is lots of water and sugary things for energy you dont need drugs that would make it worse i think

[anc1entgirl]

nice nice.  i am too dancer but i am georgian dancer. you can see some videos

[KateyScarlett]

Cool, I saw this at Sydney Entertainment Centre about 12 years ago, Flatley is unbelievable and got so much energy! Loved it.

[G35TAR]

wow, Incredible

[beta876]

wow indeed

[hellokitty345987]

wow
