It is choreographed by Igor Moiseyev in 1994. Riverdance asked him to put the dance. He gratis did that and sent a group of his dancers(known now as "Moscow Folk Ballet Company") that they have taught Irish.But Riverdance lured those Russian dancers, and they became to dance in Riverdance(but very soon they were sacked).And now in the titles Moiseyev isn't an author.The result-Riverdance making money and not paying for author's rights.
yeah, they look ruskie too... I should know, don't you know everybody in Russia dances like this.....! If you don't , the vodka helps, Nazdarovia, (to health..), dozviedoniya, mikhail
I also love the footwork combos that they do in the second half.

I love these Russian character dancers, they dance with so much soul, beautiful energy, and they have such a fun character.
