What is Riverdance?
At a basic level, Riverdance is a display of music, dancing and singing. On a deeper level, it is the story of Ireland and its people. Like a river fed by many tributaries, then flowing into the ocean, the Irish people came from many different places, and then centuries later, moved out of Ireland to other parts of the world. On another level, it is the story of humanity’s creative exploration of nature through the arts. The show not only features Irish dance, but Spanish, Russian and African-American dance as well. This creative expression came from different sources, like tributaries, but all merge into the mighty river that is their common creation.
