Riverdance is on their farewell tour celebrating their 15th aniversary. This amazing theatrical dance show which consists mainly of irish stepdancing and folk music.
The first time Riverdance came to us was at the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest when they celebrated 50 shows. It was voted that it was the best interval act in the history of the contest. This first performance was danced by Michael Flatley who was the original coreographer and writer to Riverdance and other musical theatre like the amazing Lord of the Dance where he appeared as the Lord of the Dance. I remember watching Lord of the Dance at Home with my mouth wide open in awe, it is something to go and see even though Flatley isn’t in Riverdance anymore, onstage or off.
It’ll be a shame to see them go but lets hope that they do come back as many have come and gone.
Riverdance will be at the Palace Theatre from Monday 12th of April to Sunday 17th April 2010 and tickets are available from here.
