Flatley left Riverdance, as I understand it, in a dispute over billing and choreography. Rumor has it that he didn't feel as though Jean Butler deserved equal billing with him. He travelled with the Chieftains for a bit and danced in their show. I saw him at Michigan State University during this period. His dancing was superb. He then bankrolled and choreographed "Lord of the Dance". I didn't enjoy this show as much as "River.." but it was still enjoyable to watch. He then went into a show called "Feet of Flames" which I have not seen. I understand that he recently signed a movie deal.

All the best,

Big Mick
