In Moscow we are delayed at passport control, and our Russian Dancer Alexi takes us out to a VIP nightclub! We also went sightseeing and experienced traffic problems in the city!

This week we visit Denver, where we spent Thanksgiving and went to a football game.

In Texas we visit College Station and Orange where we see Texas A & M University and have our Lamb Punch Party!

This week in Omaha we visit Omaha Zoo and see traditional Irish music in a local pub. We also visit Topeka for 3 shows and a great party!

In Bremen we visit Paddy’s bar, see the Michael Jackson movie ‘This is It’ and say good-bye to Darren Maguire. All before we travel to Russia next week!

After a nice short journey on the bus we arrived into Braunschweig in the afternoon. We weren’t able to do much as we had to get ready and go straight into work as we had a show to perform that night. I have to say it was the best audience we’ve had so far on the tour. They seemed to have really enjoyed themselves and because of that so did we. It made travelling and performing on the same day a lot easier for us.

Baton Rouge had a great southern charm to it and around the theater there were many shops and restaurants. I didn’t try the alligator, but I heard it tasted just like chicken.

After another four show weekend we were back on the bus and heading to Hamburg, for a lot of us this was our second time in Hamburg so it was nice that we knew where we were going and what there was to do.

Well after a rather long travel day by bus, we arrived into Oberhausen late in the evening with only enough time to get food and head to bed as we were all wrecked from our travel day.

I am Deirdre Hamilton, a lead dancer with the Corrib company. We have just recently begun our European tour. At the moment we are in Germany and getting ready to head to Russia very soon! Exciting stuff. I am going to be giving you all a little inside look on what the life of a lead dancer in Riverdance is like!
