This is another performance of Colin Dunne in Riverdance show. Its named "Battle"/"Trading Taps".

Trading Taps is the very popular number featuring Irish male dancers and American tap dancers. It is a playful game of trading rhythms and skills, ultimately uniting both cultures in a powerful execution of precision dance.

  • It's not a battle... it shows the americans dancing, then the irish boys come along as they've just immigrated from Ireland and they show eachother their native dancing- that's called "Trading Taps."

  • its in a way a battle comparing whoz better but in the end, they became friends...

  • This is the resulution to peace in the world: dancing together!!! Wished that was true. :)

  • Not a battle, just a friendly competition between the home boys and the Irish immigrants.

  • i think this would have to be my favourite act from riverdance!! i love it! i especially love the duel between the sax and the violin. its a shame this song isnt on the soundtrack!

  • I am going to riverdance tonight and will be seeing this live.

  • In one triumphant scene called Trading Taps, Dunne steals the show, together with 20 year old Tarik Winston, an African-American tap dancer from the Bronx.

    "That's the part of the show that I was initially brought in to do in October", said Dunne. "(It's the) part that I've been involved with right from the beginning. It's great to be strutting my stuff and doing what I do with Tarik, who I've known for a couple of years now."

  • Excellent show!! The African American dancer is Tarik Winston. I'm still trying to find name of the other dancer.
