We’ve returned to tour now for several weeks and have already seen many wonderful sights and explored some illustrious places. However, this week was undoubtedly the most interesting to date.

While the show is leaving America, it has tours planned for Belgium, New Zealand and Australia. The show is also going to India in October and plans a 10-week tour of China. There are also dates set in Argentina and Brazil, which excites Erskine because “Riverdance” hasn’t been farther south in the Americas than Mexico before.

On Sunday night the vice president of the People’s Republic of China was treated to one of the country’s biggest recent success stories.

WREG-TV Channel 3 – Interview with Riverdance principal dancers James Greenan & Chloey Turner

Join Irish Dance Troupe member Fiona McCabe as she tells us about her trip to New Orleans, some of her favourite cities on tour and gives us another style file.

This week, we travelled to six cities and covered approximately 1538miles in two coaches; the ‘loud coach’ catering for people who may want to chat, watch DVDs etc and the ‘quiet coach’ for those who wish to remain silent for an entire journey.

Riverdance Principal Dancer Padraic Moyles will be featured in a segment on the nationally-syndicated U.S. magazine program called CAREER DAY. The interview was shot in Los Angeles when Riverdance was at the Pantages Theatre in November, 2011. His segment will air the weekend of St. Patrick’s Day, March 17-18.

Julian Erskine, the Irish senior executive producer of the musical sensation Riverdance, knows he’s done a good job if people dance out of the theater after a performance.
That was how he felt when he came to China with Riverdance.

Even so, the end of the road is nearing. The show is currently on an 82-city farewell North American tour that’s winding across the U.S. and Canada and ends in June. This month, the show left Texas, hit the Southeast and next goes to the Plains.
