Riverdance has been inspiring the World for 20 Years!

4/30/2014

 
April 30, 1994 - It was 20 years ago today that Riverdance ignited a World Wide Love Affair with Irish Dance. A cultural activity that had never ventured too far outside Ireland, or where Irish immigrants made their homes (UK, Austrailia/New Zealand and North America), Irish Dance has truly evolved into a World Wide Community. Just Imagine what the next 20 years will bring!  

Watch the original Riverdance production below from the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, where it was conceived as an interval act and instead became one of the most successful stage shows of all time, travelling worldwide and introducing millions to Irish Dance.

Results by Charley Hill

A Beautiful and inspirational Spoken Word Project, written and created by Charley Hill, an Irish Dancer from the Mid America Region, on what Irish Dance means to her.  And Remember, "Results" does not always mean winning in the literal sense. Well Done Ms. Hill, Well Done Indeed!

All It Takes is a Little Confi-DANCE to Get Back in the Game.  Katie M. is showing off her confi-DANCE a little less than five (5) months after breaking her foot (just prior to the 2013 WRO).  Now she is back in the game and getting ready for Nationals in Montreal.  Her first first Feis back, she placed top 5 at the Golden State Feis (out of 12 competitors and 5 WQs).  Way to Go Katie!  We are very proud at how hard you have been working to get back, and how your dancing has improved along the way! It just goes to show that a little determination will take you a long way!

To Be Inspired is Great, but to Inspire greatness in others is INCREDIBLE. Just ask our Senior Dancers, who are ALL so Inspirational and Fantastic Mentors to our younger dancers. We wish them the very best as they prepare to graduate from High School and begin their new adventures in College! But don't fret Team McBride, a few of our Senior Girls are staying close to home and will be around for a while longer to Inspire our younger dancers to great things!
