July 21, 2013

What a fantastic day on the banks of the River Liffey, 1,693 dancers from 44 countries taking part in the World Record breaking Longest Riverdance line ever.

A sincere thank you to all who made it happen – The Gathering, the 115 Riverdance dancers, the dance stewards, all the production teams, the security teams, Dublin City Council but most especially all the 1693 record breaking dancers whose enthusiasm and energy made the day and broke the record! Thank you!

Lead by Jean Butler and Padraic Moyles, the Riverdance line stretched for 1km along the banks of the river Liffey. The dancers were watched by an audience of thousands cheering them on as they danced for 5 continuous minutes in an unbroken line into the record books.
