@priya1992 Seeing this live was one of the GREAT experiences I have ever had in a theater. At the end, the audience rose as one and cheered and clapped for more than 5 minutes without let up. More excitement and emotion than I have ever seen. The cast came out for another bow, and we all just did it again! Still have goosebumps remembering!
i remember watching this when i was maybe 2 or 3? i thought it was one of the most amazing things i had ever seen. then again, when your 2 or 3, everything you see is amazing. This performance insipred me to do well in tap :)
I vividly remember seeing this at the time, I was neither a fan of the Eurovision or Irish dancing, just happened to be watching the telly that night. But when Flatley came out and started high stepping like I'd never seen before, I was screaming for everyone to come and see this, fantastic! And the Irish crowd's reaction said it all, what a feeling. Great that it has been developed since to include dance styles from all over the world. BRAVO!!!
Woah!?!? This is fucking awesome! I am blown away by her voice...it echo's which makes it sound it sooo cool! She has the voice of an angel...sent from heaven to save us all...
when i grow up i will travel to black head (home of the banshee) dublin, stone henge, bash and more then i will join the obod (british order of druids) so i can help keep this music, culture and tradition alive.
Someone said that Bernadette Flynn is a better dancer than Jean Butler, but I don't know who Bernadette is. I just know that in this video, Jean seems to leap like a young gazelle. Bernadette was in Lord of the Dance. However, even though I just posted a positive comment about Michael Flatley, I had grown tired of him by then, so I did not see that or whatever FOF stands for.
I wonder if when Michael Flatley was studying Irish dance on the Southwest side of Chicago, not far from where I live, anyone said to him "What are you doing fooling around with that irish dance stuff? Nothing will ever come of it."
people mention the china wall / berlin wall. I reckon the River Dance was soo much betta it was awesome, real people real tunes ya cannae beat it the 8th wonder of the world! gawd bless Kildare
Yes you are right,this is Jean Butler dancing here. I only wrote that in my opinion Bernadette Flynn(you are right again,she only danced in LOTD and FOF)dances more gracefully:-)Bernadette Flynn is like a feather ...as if gravitation had no effect on her at all:-))
wish Irish dancing was like this when I was a girl, ( long time ago ) : ( superb performance, : )

My wife and I were at that show, we had seats to the the left of the stage in balcony. b
Before show we were told the view wasn't very good, couldn't have been better, I will remember this show until my dying day as will my wife.

An unscientific inquiry here. Which is preferable, a theatre or stadium for a dance performance? Any thoughts?

Bernadette Flynn dances much more gracefully and of course flawlessly than Jean HERE...
Actually I have never seen any better dancer than Bernadette.She is so fluid and she dances like a dream....
