I am a mere male but when I look at all these wonderful dancers I cannot understand why you say she is the best? Yes she is the lead but when I look at all the other girls they are making the same moves as she does and are all very good. Same with the men. What differentiates between a very good dancer and a great one?

@@happyolddude I don't know the fundamentals of this type of dancing so I couldn't tell you. You would have to ask Flatley about that. It might be partly psychological, since she is the lead dancer. To me she is taller than average and maybe a little more statuesque, with rock solid, straight up posture. I would guess that she might have had some classical ballet training. She makes demanding dancing look easy. That is my take on it.

Riverdance carved out its own niche, something that rarely happens to this extent. Funny, I remember seeing it on TV and thinking, "Wow!" Riverdance held a particular place in my memory and heart for just how innovative it was: new, fresh, something from the Isles, a magical place. It was live and in person! Very grateful, I am so thankful for the few times I was able to catch it on TV back then.

Jean hated dancing with Flatley. He was a very self-serving, selfish, egotistical dancer who only wanted the spotlight on himself. He also intimidated and bullied the Riverdance dancers. Jean has spoken about how she much preferred dancing with Colin Dunne as she felt a connection with Colin, and she also believes that Colin Dunne was a much better dancer than Flatley. Flatley is very much disliked in Ireland.
