Firedance by Colin Dunne, Jean Butler and Maria Pages

Firedance is a sensuous piece that builds from an almost static reflective mood to one of furious passion and fiery movement, symbolising the contrasts between fire and water. It is performed by the Spanish Flamenco soloist Maria Pagés and the Irish male dancer .

I greatly prefer Colin Dunne to Michael Flatley. His dancing seems so much more sincere. Although Michael Flatley is still a great dancer.

Absolutely fantastic! Good riddance to Michael Flatley, I recognize that he's a good dancer but his ego just ruins it. I could not stand Lord of Dance and Feet of Flames because it was just one huge bow-down to Lord Flatley. Colin Dunne was the best!

Colin Dunne and Jean Butler are THE best pairing in dance!! Jean is cool, talented, gorgeous and Colin is straight, sexy and collaborative... the ultimate fairytale pair!

Michael left Riverdance because he couldn't have 100% control over creative content. Thank goodness! Colin Dunne is a better dancer and much more connected to his partner than Michael ever was! He's won more than any male titles than any male Irish dancer (including Michael) for good reason too!

Me either prefer Colin Dunne to Michael Flatley. He´s good, but Colin´s expression is just amazing- especially together with Jean Butler- Have you seen Dancing on Dangerous groend? THAT IS AWESOME :)

In this Video (from the Radio City Hall NY I love the whole performance- and I think, Maria Pges is a goddess in Flamenco :)

I also like the other dancers of Riverdance (Geneva and live from Beijing).

@spahjrp I find it hard to believe that Michael saw her as his underling.

[spahjrp]

@Rkerekes13 Micheal is one helluva dancer but I didn't really appreciate the charisma between the two lead dancers until I saw Colin and Jean do the same show. Colin sees her as an equal...Micheal saw her as his underling...BIG difference and the performance shows that. However...Micheal would probably be considered "cuter"...so...there ya go.

@spahjrp I understand, but I don't think Michael's that self-absorbed. Besides, I think Michael and Colin are both equally good. What do you say to that?

[spahjrp]

@Rkerekes13 Good dancer (Micheal) but a bit too self-absorbed. Colin's better (dancer and partner). I stand by my post.

[Rkerekes13]

@Evessal Michael Flatley's ego did NOT ruin it! And his ego's not that big!

[Rkerekes13]

@jscottupton I agree with you 100%.
