My aunt went to school with him, and she said that he was kind of known as a nerd. We both agreed how cool it is that he's now world famous and rich...haha to all those bullies at his high school!
I can't imagine how much time and effort and patience and stress fractures have to go in into making a beautiful piece like this. Bravo, Riverdance. Bravo.
It is...but it's so much fun! Once you learn the steps it's actually harder to dance slower, because gravity and everything makes you want to put your feet down!
I love being Irish.I remeber watching that and to everyone out there it aint called Irish tap it's called Irish danceing and them dancer's whould be brilliant for clearing out a minefeild
Close...it's by not only the music but the style of dancing. But you can really do it do any style of music on your own, as I do when I'm practicing, just as you can tap dance to Celtic music if you wish.
Um, before you go insulting people, you may want to look it up. A step dance is a dance where the main focus is the feet. It is called Irish step dance in many parts of the world.
I'm not saying your wrong, by the way. It can be called Irish dance, Irish step dance, etc. Just please don't say that I only know strange people. Just because one part of the world calls it Irish dance that doesn't mean that other parts of the world don't call it Irish step dance.
not to be mean or anything, but Riverdance is not anywhere near tap
you can be a good tapdancer in just a few years, but to be a good Riverdancer, like jean Butler or Colin Dunne, you have be dedicated for your entire life
it takes immense control of your foot muscles and that does not come easily
Unfortunatly many people, including me, know this as "Irish tap," so I that's what I put for the keywords. Thanks though, I won't make that mistake again. :)
I have a friend from Ireland who took Irish step dancing and she says over there (it could be specific to where she lived in Ireland) they always called it Irish tap.
Great ;] ... and nice chicks ;D

Feck, I just LOVE that "wave" they do around the 3 minute mark. It's absolutely the most amazing and impressive thing I've seen in dancing so far.

being a Malaysian, i think i would still know the difference between River Dance and Tap Dancing. its by the music, ( I think) :)
there are few Irish Pubs here in Kuala Lumpur which organises River dance, every now so often :)
