“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.

Irish dancer Liam Ayres, now 26, was just 10 years old when he first saw Riverdance. His aunt, Christine Ayres, a professional dancer herself, brought over a video version and the whole family watched it in the living room. Ayres, who had been studying Irish dance since he was five, was enthralled.

” It’s a dream come true” for Liam Ayres as he finally performs with Riverdance in his home town of Melbourne. Liam originally from Box Hill Melbourne and now living in Hawthorn Melbourne will perform Riverdance lead during the show’s run at Regent Theatre, Melbourne from March 30 to April 10, 2011.
