Feet of Flames: Spotlight on Cathal Keaney and Niamh Shevlin

Lord of the Dance is built to bring an entire stadium to its feet. Every single member of Team Lord is one of the greatest professional Irish dancers in the world; to be a lead dancer amongst such an elite fraternity requires an electric combination of technical skill, stage presence, and dash -- the charisma which transfixes an audience's attention and makes them cheer for you to succeed.
Two of the show's lead dancers are Cathal Keaney and Niamh Shevlin. For those of you who have followed Team Lord's livestreaming since the early days, you would've seen Niamh make her debut as a lead dancer on one of those live broadcasts back in 2019. As Saoirse, Niamh has to embody what it means to be the "good" girl onstage: elegance, grace, warmth, and fire in equal measure. It's an incredibly difficult role to play, and here you can see her carry it off brilliantly.
Cathal, meanwhile, is Irish dancing's equivalent of Clark Kent. Offstage, he's a soft-spoken, bespectacled mechanical engineer from the University of Galway. The creator of Portable Sprung Floors, it's a foregone conclusion that Cathal will end up working on a Formula One team at some point -- or perfecting nuclear fusion, or inventing warp drive, whatever's on his mind. But onstage? The glasses come off, the shirt comes off, and the boy next door is absolutely shredding insanely complicated Irish dance choreography with jaw-dropping force.
Courtesy of Changhua News, who filmed this during the Feet of Flames Impossible Tour, you can now get a really good look at Cathal and Niamh in action as they lead Team Lord onstage.
Want to see them in person? Tickets are on sale now to the Europe tour of Lord of the Dance's new 25th anniversary show, 25 YEARS OF STANDING OVATIONS, scheduled to make its debut at the London Apollo on St. Patrick's Day. Be there when Planet Ireland arises!
