I think Riverdance is so popular because it builds off of universal rhythms that all humans share, no matter what culture or land we come from. We may not all have the same music, but there's an underlying beat and rhythm to everyones lives from the seasons, to the day, to our own heartbeat, and I think Riverdance captures some of that spirit. As an American from the Appalachians, I love to see the way my ancestors would have danced and how it is still kept alive in our music and dance here.

I've attended several live performances of Riverdance and viewed dozens of videos of its dance performances. Without question, this video presents the best production of Reel Around the Sun, my favorite number, which I was thrilled to see in person recently in San Diego. The Director of this number took advantage of the tension and suspense created by sharing the introduction music before the action begins. A great performance and a great video!

Wild Young it is actually. When the girls in my dance class do this dance everybody has to be quiet and we all look at them dancing so divinely !! I asked once my dance teacher why can’t we do any noise or say anything during this dance: he says it comes from an ancient legend but when I asked for more details he did not say anymore... Irish dancing seems easy but it is actually very hard and passed on in the family so it somehow has something sacred, religious, mysterious and ancient. I learn it and because of covid19 there is no classes so I have to practise alone and this is hard because no teacher to correct your mistakes and not enough KZbin videos to learn a specific step or move... but even though I love it and I think this is one of my favourite kind of dance because of the multiple specificities !!! Hard but so fun !!! ❤️

awe-inspiring! mesmerizing music hammering open one’s ego with every tap of their feet. immortal contribution from the Irish spirit & should be passed down from generation to generation.Though much criticized, this troupe deserves to be ranked with the legendary 1994-96 Riverdancers led by Flatley & Dunne. actually prefer de Gallaí's upper body movements - forceful swings like Spanish bullfighters & Chinese martial artists. music also played by the 12Girls band using oriental music instruments

I certainly will not argue on that because you are correct. It is a product which must be geared to its audience. I teach and see the evolving youth of today and see their ambivalence to anything outside theirdamned cell phones. It is handed down to them and each generation gets worse. I was referring to the willingness to discard the old and original in favor of the plastic and glitzy and be happy with it.

I've been watching different versions of Riverdance for the past twenty years and these routines still give me goose bumps. The only thing that spoils it for me is the male lead part. Too much egotistical poncing and flouncy shirts. But then it was written by Flatley FOR Flatley, so I suppose it isn't surprising. Everybody else is fabulous. (And those legs... Jeez!)

He didn't say it was. The original choreography was Flatley's, and his ego is the size of Texas, so it makes sense that the ego shows in the male lead part, That's all he was referring to.

I agree. The only male lead I didn't find poncy and ridiculous was Colin Dunne in the 1996 New York version. Colin was still dancing the role when I saw the show live, and I really appreciated his understated style.
