Riverdancers Nicola Byrne and Aisling McVeigh get in some last minute training before taking part in this year’s Dublin Women’s Mini-Marathon on Monday June 6th.

A sneaky look behind the scenes of this year’s St Patrick’s Day Flash Mob in Sydney Central Station. The Sneaky Steppers orchestrated over 140 dancers in a spontaneous outbreak of Irish dance.

The crowd is on their feet. On the last beat of the music, our eyes are drawn to a pearly white halo in the middle of the auditorium. The fanfare plays as the Queen makes her way to the stage. An overwhelming emotion ensues and unexpected tears are in my eyes. I look around and my fellow cast members are equally moved

Riverdance is delighted to announce that it will open its now traditional Summer run in Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre from 28th June to 28th August and a return to the INEC Killarney for an extraordinary 8th season from Tuesday 30th August to 4th September.

The British Embassy, will host a celebration of the Queen’s state visit to Ireland in Dublin’s Convention Centre. The event will be attended by Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, President Mary McAleese and her husband Martin, with some 2,000 invited guests from across Ireland involved in the business, sporting, entertainment, politics and charity sectors.

“The Queen’s visit to Ireland is forward looking and positive and it is a great honour to be involved.”

Young Post junior reporters joined four Riverdance performers at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. They took to the stage with the dancers, who taught them a number of dance moves.
Afterwards, they interviewed the performers about being part of the Riverdance phenomenon and they got a glimpse of the show’s costumes and found out how they were made.

Chloey Turner was just a little girl glued to her TV set when she first saw Riverdance on a 1994 broadcast. Today, the dancer counts herself lucky that 17 years later the show is still touring and attracting audiences the world over.

Riverdance is delighted announce our cast for our performance on Thursday 19th in the Conference Centre in Dublin’s Docklands in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
