Thread Name: Riverdance. Good or bad?
Subject: RE: Riverdance. Good or bad?
I liked it well enough. Didn't see Lord of the Pants and didn't care for Feet of Flames. Don't care much for Flatley, period. I concede he is good at what he does.... but so does he.

I prefer to watch soft-shoe dancing myself. Hard-shoe is really cool for about five minutes, like a drum solo. :)

Now, me and Mister, and probably a goodly number of you all, were Celtic when Celtic wasn't cool. So on one hand, I'm thinking, where were all you people years ago? We've been enjoying this stuff for a long time. On the other hand -- and I think someone else mentioned this already -- it did introduce Celtic music and dance to a new audience. Maybe some of those folks have been/will be inspired to do a little research and learn what it's Really All About.
