Riverdance was proud to support the charity MedAid4Kids on our Gaiety Theatre opening night this June 30th.

MedAid4Kids is an Irish charity with one goal in mind ‘to help children who can’t help themselves’. Medaid4kids supplies all eight state orphanages in Transdnestria with their basic hygiene needs, including toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, washing powder, soap etc. Each year over 2,500 children benefit from the generosity of the Irish people.

What a magnificent opening night it was for Riverdance in Dublin this evening!
Riverdance can only be described as a passionate and powerful explosion of creative expression that lifted our hearts and thoroughly entertained us!
