Since its premiere in 1995, “Riverdance” has become an international phenomenon of Irish rhythm and dance. In the 16 years since then, the show has been performed more than 10,000 times for more than 22 million people.
Riverdance returns to the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin from 28th June to 28th August 2011.
This summer there is a new 8 shows per week performance schedule and reduced family ticket prices.
Touching your heart and moving your feet, the original international phenomenon RIVERDANCE returns to Hong Kong from 3 to 15 May 2011 for 16 performances only!
In spite of the rainclouds that descended on them in 2010, June 6 will see another intrepid band of Riverdancers return to the streets of Dublin to run this year’s Flora Women’s Mini Marathon.
Once more they will be running to raise funds for the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital’s Research Foundation and to remember their friend and former dancing colleague Dr Eithne Walls.
The great thing about Riverdance is that it has a broad appeal, according to its principal dancer Craig Ashurst.

“While a backdrop displayed jewel-toned scenes of natural splendor including a hot-pink sunrise, a green-blue swirl of seas and an awesome hazy round moon, the international cast of 30 dancers and musicians inspired the audience to cheer and whistle at the end of every glorious number.”
To date we have danced over 100 shows in 53 cities and 31 states in the United States. We are pleased to continue to bring our popular performance to the people of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. We welcome two more consecutive weeks in Calgary and Edmonton very soon.
The enormous popularity and unprecedented response by the South African public to Riverdance led to a complete sell-out of the show’s season at the Teatro at Montecasino earlier this year. This exceptional demand for tickets resulted in South African promoters, BIG Concerts bringing the show back to the Teatro for a return season opening on Tuesday, 27 September 2011 for two weeks only, ending on Sunday, 9 October 2011.
Riverdance Leads Chloey Turner and Craig Ashurst appeared on CITY TV, Vancouver this morning.
Riverdance performs in Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Vancouver until 10th April.
