April 30, 1994 - Michael Flatley and Jean Butler wow Eurovision 1994 with this performance of traditional Irish folk dancing in Dublin.

I saw the 25th Anniversary production last year. It chronicled 25 years of Riverdance. It was actually good. I liked the music the most.

They've toured the 25 year show for five years now. I guess they can roll out a 30 year show.

30 years ago? Man, time sure flies. All I remember is really fast tap dance stuff. About a minute of watching it was enough for me. But they did it good, pretty impressive.

Crazy that a dude doing Irish folk dance basically became a rockstar.
That redhead chick was a smokeshow.

Take me back, Lord.

Peak America.

God, the 90s were so excellent in every single way.

And things have deteriorated since then.

Coincidence?

And Lindsey was eliminated from AGT because they said she had nothing else to offer. She not only can move her feet/legs but play violin while doing it. This one has over 400mil views

The premiere was right around the time I started smoking weed, and watching River Dance for the first time when you're 14 and stoned and there's no internet is mind-blowing!

I' conditionally agree to family Disney trips on the condition that we eat at least one meal at Raglan Road.. the food is good enough by itself, but the c entertainment / dancing is toop notch.
