Never ever get sick of watching Riverdance
I remember watching the first interval act at the Eurovision in 1994, it still gives me butterflies and thrills me now! Watch it over and over again! ❤❤❤
As long as I live I'll never get bored watching this!
Omg the footwork on those dancers!!
I never tire of RIverdance. Brilliant performance
I love this type of dance
Absolutely phenomenal. Chills watching them.
The music of Riverdance is truly timeless. That's what makes it so special, besides the dancing. Gives it soul.
Never ever get sick of watching
Riverdance 😮
simply Irish,,,,,,,,,,one of the best cultures that ever graced this world,,,,,,,,simply superb,,,,,
+Don Scott Yeah, you should have seen them before alcohol was invented.
+flip inheck sounds pretty Irish to me.
How is it French? Are you simply basing this on one form of set dancing that was influenced by the Quadrille? Other than that, there are similarities and influences between several European forms of step dancing, but also a lot more differences. If you've seen the full show you'd realise Riverdance includes Flamenco, Tap dance, and Russian ballet numbers that show some of those similarities/differences.
And Riverdance has an international cast, but just because some of it's performers are non-Irish doesn't make it less Irish in origin. If anything, the fact that Irish culture is so widespread should be a point of pride. We're a tiny country with a culture recognised worldwide.
So agree.
FRENCH MY ARSE. KISS MY IRISH ASS. YOU MUST BE ENGLISH.
The Irish in me loves a traditional Irish Music Party... This is an amazing performance by @Riverdance
I felt so sorry for the guy who had his foot caught on the fence, well done to him for carrying on like nothing happened!!!
Willow Snowdrop I didn't even notice it😀 when I read the comments, I watched the video again and saw it, but he managed it like a pro 👏
Amazing young man, a true professional!
They all have been through a huge number of competitions and about the first thing you learn in competitions: you DON'T stop. Unless you slip and really fall down, you keep on going and improvise something but you don't stop. Nothing 'professional' about that. I know the feeling (and resulting facial expression) all too well...
daughter did Irish dancing and the main rule is you keep going regardless, unless it's a bad fall, I've seen dancers at the biggest competition of the Irish dance calendar (The Worlds) take a tumble and get back up and keep in time and step with the dance, amazing dancers all round 👌🏼💪
Another fantastic performance 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪😁
I've been on this show for a long time, it's my family. It's amazing!
I love this all I can say is WOW
Beautiful dance
Always stunned by the technical perfection and beauty of this. (Sadly, also stunned by the horrible camera work -- nothing's going on above the waists, mates, except smiles and pretty faces. I want to see the footwork, nonstop.)
Even worse: a few moments before 'Thunderstorm' (the first part) ends, the director goes for a shot of the shoes... But the chaotic crane-shots didn't work as well. Strange. I expect top-notch stuff from the BBC. Btw: also not the first time that you can clearly hear that Riverdance is a very, very tough piece to play in an orchestra and this also shows how well the Riverdance Orchestra was conducted.
spectaculaire ! du très haut niveau , quel grâce !
So many ballet moves in River Dancing. People never know the olympic-style training required for both.
4:22 what kind of music is this? .. I NEED MOAR!! SO FUCKING EPIC!
It’s from the Republic of Ireland who are the through Irish people
not Northern Ireland They are for ever poking nose in actual they are British citizens
A war, victory of a war, a taunting, a love story, peace and celebration of peace and happiness. That's what it seems to me.
Amazing
AN ABSOLUTELY
MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE--- FABULOUS!!!
love it.
completely drown in this, so amazing
Some beautiful girls dancing there, I love Riverdance, it’s never going to stop, I thinks it’s the most entertaining dance out there. Everyone on stage always gives 100%, never out of sync, well I think there not.
Gorgeous
worth seeing
thank you Ireland
Thank Dublin that we had the chance to experience
Christy Clements
I never get sick seeing riverdance show
the bloody fence
i wanted them to start vaulting over it like gazelle, but alas...not all dreams come true
It's Britian...
Bravo, 👏👏👏👍💝🍀🇲🇪💐❤️
AMAZING
The dancing is fantastic, but the camera work is maddening. A still long-shot is what's required for this style of dance. I don't want close-ups of the dancer's faces, I want to see their feet, and the stage.
I quite like the close ups of the cuter dancers lol
You are sooo right! Television directors aren´t dancers (probably ;-) ). BTW all Riverdance DVDs are cut the same way. There must be a philosophy behind it? I think I know, but don´t want to spread it on RUclips. ;-)
@@peteraschaffenburg1 I second all of you and don't understand why the Riverdance-dvd's are edited the same way. For me, the only performance where the editor nailed it was the first ever appearance as interval-act at the ESC in 1994. Camera-positions and cuts were just spot-on in that registration.
Like I said; For one, television people are probably not dancers. Second; My guess is to make it harder to copy the choreography. But that´s just a guess. ;-) And third; If you do the same trick over and over, in theater you get more applaus for that, on television people might find it boring? @Lauren Dunne Love your comment! ;-) Having been a "cute dancer" myself about a hundret years ago, I am allowed to say; If you want cute dancers, I highly recommend gay porn! You get pretty faces and a lot more ;-)
@@peteraschaffenburg1 Yes, but this is 'Proms at the Park' and that is from the BBC. I would be really surprised if they don't put an editor with a great sense of rhythm or feel for music in place for those shows. I made a simple video about an Irish dance competition last year and everybody who saw it said the same thing: 'I like how all shots are cut to the music!'
Cutting or directing a camera to music is such a basic thing in video-editing/directing that this is about the most ridiculous example available of how it should not be done. Yes, it can be the director or editor is not someone with a feel for music or rhythm. But if so, he or she should not even be put in charge of a bunch of camera-operators.
They make it look so easy class in a glass
You Broke the bloody Stage!!!!!!!
🇨🇵❤👍👍👍👍 c'est génial et fantastique. Trop beau 🥰🥰🥰🥰
the fence behind must have been really annoying... see 1:30 ...
ikr I saw that
LOL i saw it.. not even a fence could throw off the beat. XD
Meh, as a real team he continued. Shit happens, they deal with it. ;)
She had that big electric smile working 😄
This is how I imagine the Connaught Rangers marched into the fray
this was fucking awesome.
I wonder if the original composers of Riverdance had any clue what they were unleashing on the world all those years ago ...
Nope, they didn't. There is a video somewhere (or on a Riverdance DVD) about the whole interval-act and everything that went on before. Till the moment the performance ended, there were still people in fear that Riverdance would follow up in the line of forgotten artists that once were interval-acts at the Eurovision Song Contest. When Jean Butler was asked for the performance and told friends about it, she was even laughed at as her friends knew that many interval-acts were forgotten.
The fact that after the performance, people wanted more of what they had seen and that simply didn't exist also says something: there was no marketing-machine that could be started if Riverdance proved to be a succes.
It's hard to imagine but Irish dance the way we know it now simply didn't exist before April 30, 1994.
25 years later,Riverdance returns to the stage with a new show and the music of Bill W.
好棒喔
Cuvintele sunt inutile , sentimentele conteaza ! Ele sunt TOTUL !!!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
My god they're fit
It makes you pround to be Irish
all right.
3:27 is looking good
🙋🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍
Lol stupid fence @1:31
*cough cough* eurovision interval *cough cough*
🙏，👍👏💯
Needed fence to protect the orchestra?
No, Northern Ireland is still a segregated society Catholics and protestants must be kept separated, even on stage...lol
Я тож так хочу
Who is the main guy on the first dance?? He's beautiful!!!!
Real talk - anyone upset that puberty happened, and as a result we'll never see Joe Bitter solo an Irish dance show?
1:54 Solo
Ha I seen the guy kicking the fence
Is that Maria Buffini ? Sure do enjoy her after Jean Butler..
#IrishPride 🇮🇪
Looks like the lead dancers are James Greenan and Lauren Smyth!!!!!!!!!
Is the man in the middle of the stage dancing, Michael Flatley?
Wonder if river dancing makes one a better footballer... With all the coordination training that goes along with it.
There is a video on RUclips about some American Football (so no football ;) ) guy that took up Irish dance classes and says it does benefit him. Let me search for it...
Found it ;) ruclips.net/video/w9eUm48H7b8/видео.html
Test Test its an old comment and i don't expect a response.Another part of irish culture we have in ireland is gaelic games and gaelic football in particular.There was a gaelic footballer who danced with riverdance or a similar company and played for his county and probably to bigger crowds than he danced too
OMG can someone smack the person who kept changing shots! You don’t need to swap angles every 5 seconds. It’s interesting on its own. Why film the torso for goodness sake?!
this must be a kick in the balls for the protesants
+flip inheck all of this music is Irish. ther is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING French about it
-_-
I learnt to tap dance once......well I thought I did!!!
It's impossible to be the first one to comment on the video
oops fence kick shit pants lol did welll
What are they screaming at 1:00?
As far as I know, a general 'HEY!'
The female dancer is cute and very flirty.
not taking away from their skills at all but so the crowd can hear the taps above the music they are clearly using a tap track.
家企業肉鬆，💟❣️❣️❣️🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸
Glad no dancer bit it because of that stupid fence lol
Сначала посмотрите на его обувь
Who designed that stage? Jesus Christ like!
Idiotic to put the orchestra and that stupid fence so close to the dancers.
So true SMH. But like a champ he kept going like nothing happened.
The piece (Thunderstorm) is a Riverdance classic. They can do that dance even when they sleep. But the stage is far smaller than what they have in the shows. Then it only takes a small difference in your place on the stage to hit that fence.
I always think it strange how the british culture who literally tried to wipe this type of dancing of the face of the earth. Had laws that banned it, who in elizabethan times issued a law to hang all the harpers of Ireland now think it great. You never know what time can do.
What the hell is wrong with most of the newer Riverdance productions? They are all dressed in solid black on the lower half against a black background SO YOU CAN'T SEE THEIR INCREDIBLE FOOT WORK! WHY? And to put completely unnecessary green sleeves on the lead female dancer destroys her lines completely and also makes her harder to define! And the camera spends FAR too much time on dancer's faces and upper body. AGAIN... WE WANT TO SEE THE FOOTWORK! THE FOOTWORK IS THE STAR OF THE SHOW! It's pointless and frustrating - GET IT RIGHT!
Well, fortunately I (obviously) don't know that much of the modern ones ;) The most modern one I have is (I think) Live in Geneva. But for me nothing beats Live in NY City from 1996, with Jean and Colin Dunne, which, in my opinion had his own way of dancing compared to the male principal dancers who came after him. The camerawork in that one also is not really satisfying, but it beats the other versions. If you really want to cringe, watch the 3-versions put together video of the Riverdance finale (if I remember it right) that is on one of the DVD's from the zero's. The editing in that one is so bad you don't need great sense of rhythm to see the timing in most clips is way off.
This is just completely a copy of Warlords from Lord of the Dance
NO KIDDING! Their choreography changes very little over the years, and they have ALWAYS blatantly copied Michael Flatley. I don't know how he manages to keep his huge ego from suing them over it. Maybe they paid him for it - who knows? I will always love Flatley's dancing and choreography, but his ego is as enormously off-putting as his talent is impressive.
@@kristieroybal4888 Well, Lord of the Dance came AFTER Riverdance, where Michael's 'public' career started (inside the Irish dance and music world he was already well-known (just like Jean), but Riverdance-as-ESC-interval-act brought him fame to the general public)
He soon left that show and created Lord of the Dance (and many others, with Feet of Flames most likely being his prime-performance). As Riverdance was (as far as I know) not his production, he probably can't do much about it ;)
Yesss, not a single gay man on the stage...
*Jeremy Clarkson*
They gave the dancers hardly any room to dance
Trust me, this is nothing ;) As my former teacher once said: 'A good irish dancer doesn't need more than a tile* layed down diagonally to dance on' (* A Dutch, standard kerb-tile of 30x30 centimeter)
And he is right... These are pro's who won't have any trouble adjusting to the space they dance in.
Seriously...beating a pony....
Don't like the women lead dancer she is grinning like a Cheshire Cat 🐱🐱🐱 not classy ! I like Jean butler who is elegant ,mysterious ,and classy !
That's the whole reason I never saw Riverdance live. For me, it will always be Jean Butler and Colin Dunne in the lead... Everyone that came after them just doesn't have 'it'.
