Ann Miller holds the record for most taps per minute for a female. She's clocked at 500 taps per minute. The record belongs to Roy Castle, clocked at 1,400 taps per minute in 1973.
@@lakewrites holy sweet heavens above!! can you even imagine the footwork and mental gymnastics you have to do to not fall on your face… professionals honest to God professionals I applaud every single person who tries to take up the mantle of Riverdance champion because that is a pretty freaking high bar😰
Michael Flatley created something very special and unique. HE was the one, who made Irish Tap Dance known to the world. I still love to see him, even if he stopped to dance. We all should not forget, that dancing took its toll on his body. He suffered various injuries and still stood on the stage for our enjoyment. That he stepped back and is only working as a choreographer now, is very okay and he should enjoy his retirement. Love from Germany
Odd they were having Irish festivals in Kansas City, Missouri way before anyone knew who Michael Flately was. Every year they have always had a lot of great dancers of all ages. Do they not have Irish festivals everywhere else? I don't understand how people would not have ever seen Irish dancing until Michael Flatley got popular. Plus we have a huge Saint Patrick's Day parade every year in Kansas City Missouri with a lot of Irish dancers.
@@dscheney1138it’s pretty common amongst Irish communities ever, we’re one of the largest migrant peoples on earth after all, but flatley definitely had a huge hand in bringing it into the public view
What makes Michael's shows so truly amazing is the fact that all those dancers make the sound of one dancer, showing their true unison in the dance. Exceptionally perfect!!!!!!
Michael is probably the best Irish dancer in the world.He forsure changed people's thoughts on Irish dancing& now its blown away into a beautiful experience. Thank you!❣🌞🌴☮👍
Michael and his team of dancers, with the lighting/ staging/ sound etc are the best of or out of this world! Always like it, since it first performance!
Sadly we might not seem him dance in shows again. But we can watch his phenomenal work immortalized on physical media and here on TH-cam. There will never be another performer like him on stage again, he set the bar to untouchable heights.
I’ve seen some of his shows in person,Irish I could have seen all his shows live. While I can never be as articulate as Sam Conduct, no truer words were ever spoken.
Flatley brought me back the brink .. 29 years of heroin stole my peace from me. My Irish roots were and remain the answer to my dismay and self loathing. Thanks LORD OF THE DANCE
I have a Huge respect for Michael Flatleys talent and charisma and the way he's so present on stage. But i dont diminish Any of the dancers on the crew - they're all amazing. Just gotta love it how Mr Flatley took Irish dance on the map
Amazing!! I always love watching these Irish dancers. They're spectacular and I wish I could see them live someday when they come to my state. A special bravo to Michael Flatley's performance and introducing these stellar Irish Dances to the world 👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
The first thing I thought of when this video started playing is that his knees and feet must be so painful today. He's an incredible dancer and his troupe is wonderful, but what a price to pay.
It’s just summing else saw on the night ,saw it in Liverpool ,and watched it on TH-cam hundreds of times, just stunning music and dance it will live on forever and rightfully so
Браво !!! Какая техника , синхронность , эмоции и молодость побеждают всё! Танцы захватывают зрителя , поднимают настроение ! Восторг и Брависсимо ! Это не просто танцы это - Спектакль !!!
Saw Michael live when I was 22. I'm now 64 and have never forgotten the magic of that night. There never was, and never will be, anyone quite like him!
I saw him dance near the end of his career when he was in his forties. This is why we have to change retirement rules for Professional Dancers because NONE of them dance to the age of 65. The Candle the Burns Brightly, only Burns for Half as Long. Great Man, Great Troupe, Great Discipline, Great Dancer. Respects, RH
Always extraordinary! I learned today about his cancer diagnosis, and read that he created a 7-minute piece called "Riverdance" as an interval act for the Eurovision Song Contest. Imagine that. An INTERVAL ACT. Then he got fired when Riverdance was expanded over a dispute about his royalties. This is how the universe will push a person out of a situation - because something GREATER is waiting. He created LORD OF THE DANCE and the rest is . . . well, the rest. We creatives must be allowed to express our creativity. We can learn from this experience that getting fired isn't always a bad thing. Often, it spurs people on to even higher achievements - like creating their own thing.
I went and saw this with my brother cause my mom had to give us her tickets because she couldn’t make it. We were both a 40 deep and decided to go drunk anyway. We are both laughing our asses off and in awe. Great time!
--- OMG! I'm a tapper & this is AWESOME. Never got as good as Michael but I KNOW the effort, dedication & perseverence involved in such a high level of dance performance. He really contributed to opening up the Irish dance to the world. Absolutely phenomenal!!!
He was one of the fittest and most hardworking entertainer out there .he and his dance group was spectacular to watch and it was done so effortlessly.beautifullly orchestrated
Гениальный мастер танца, совершенство в каждом движении. Мурашки бегут сразу от одного звука музыки! Как хорошо, что они у нас есть. Без них мир был бы намного беднее.
Wow, this man is AMAZING!! Whoever thought Michael Jackson could dance obviously never saw Michael Flatley dance. Michael, if alive today, could not put a pimple on Flatley's tush!
Watched flatley with my grand children, now I'm 80 years-old, and I still love his style and dance he's the best, sad to hear about his illness 😢 Zohra Mahomed, Cape Town, South Africa
I remember the first time i saw Michael Flatley dance. My immediate reaction was, here is a man who loves what he does. He loves dancing and he loves his audience.
What an incredible performer. I normally don’t care for dance of any kind, just not my thing. But he has such energy it’s like watching a blazing guitar solo.
The best dancer ever. He set the bar. No one comparable! His creativity and showmanship is unmatched. It is hard to watch other shows without him! He truly worked hard and brought us a great gift!
THE best performer in this segment. Perfection into every single last detail. Not sure if he was easy to work with, as these type of artists are most demanding…
Wow it's a shame he's suffering from arthritis,he's a wonderful dancer doing Riverdance all those years. I never did get to see him with Riverdance but I wish I had got to see him with them. Love the video!!!!
Für mich ist er der Beste...Michael Flatley hat mir die irische Kultur in Form der Musik und des Tanzes nahe gebracht....kein Tag mehr ohne Riverdance, Lord of the Dance, feet of flame, oder celtig tiger. Ich könnte weinen beim zuschauen...einfach genial ❤❤❤
We all came to love Irish dancing whenthe show was brought to our country, but what made it outstanding was the performance of Michael Flatley! He has a unique quality that he projects into every performance, his personality and footwork are utterly magnificent! Thankyou for your art, and your gift! ❤💖
Ireland is one of the most if not the most beautiful places the people are outstanding. But you do know he’s from the south side of Chicago and they used to have and may still have the largest Irish population outside of Dublin and it’s no big deal to go into Irish bar and find them sitting at the bar all talking in Gaelic which sounds beautiful even if they are just talking about work or their day doesn’t matter still beautiful just another beautiful thing from the Irish like their dance and music and poetry literature art they do it all and do it beautifully. GO IRISH
2 words that describe Michael Flatley. True legend 👍How much joy and entertainment has this man gifted us all with? And of course not forgetting the very Beautiful Jean Butler.

Saw him twice an incredible dancer
He is wonderful and completely sexy!
The way he nuzzled that one blonde and kissed her. Disgusting!
2024 and I'm still watching. He's still the best I've ever seen. Love the whole troup!
Ditto. 🇦🇺🦘🐨❤️💐

Fantastic.Unluckily his body had to pay a price for this outstanding performance over the years😢
Who still watches Michael in 2023? I do!!!

What a showman. Simply superb dancing. Michael Flatley holds the world record for 35 taps per second. Phenomenal. Get well soon Michael.

What makes Michael's shows so truly amazing is the fact that all those dancers make the sound of one dancer, showing their true unison in the dance. Exceptionally perfect!!!!!!
They make that sound because it's pre-recorded and part of the backing track
He’ll always be the Lord of the Dance ❤❤
I took my beloved mother in law to see Lord of the Dance in Cincinnati Ohio. It was wonderful and she never forgot it!
This man’s talent is absolutely incredible. No one else compares!
Comparto su opinion , ENORME TALENTO
Loved this man for years ...
The Dance is his true love .
For me , personally , no one can top him ❤️✌️
His talent, personality and showmanship is forever unmatched. I never tire from watching him.

Every movement so flawless, every sound so crisp and clear. He makes it look so easy. Love watching him. King of irish dancing!
And he did it all in high heels. Take that Ginger Rogers!
I guess you could also call him the ... Lord of the Dance
@@mircat28 they are Irish tap shoes not high heels! 🙂
Браво!!! Как рыбки в стае!!! Вот что делает рыбий жир!!!
Lindoooooo
The Fred Astaire of Celtic dance, but its not a one man show. The entire ensemble in each production is magnificent.
Это дар от Бога, ну и конечно тяжёлый труд самого мастера! Браво! Спасибо за видео! Здоровья Майклу!
Да вроде помер😢 уже
Ну бывают же талантливые и трудолюбивые люди! Ну красотища!!!! Все время удивляюсь, как они в ногах не запутаются?!!!
Big chuckle! In YOUR FEET!!?? 😅😅😅
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this, I never ever get bored. Truly brilliant ❤.

Michael is an amazing dancer,and he has done so much for traditional Irish and Scottish dance.
What'a wonderful thing tis is! Bravo 👏
That's because he's the Lord of the Dance!
I don't think Scottish or Welsh only Irish
Irish....

So Agreed 👍
True. Thousands of young girls train and compete in Irish dance, too. Amazing dancers they are.
Loved him then, Love him now! I'll always love him for himself, and for bringing this joyous, miraculous dance to American and the world!
Сколько в мире, невероятных, красивых, талантливых людей. Диво, дивное, как же здорово.

Sooooo thrilled to say I was in the audience with Micheal Flatley performing.
What an awesome dancer.
And to think he's in pain these days 😕
The first thing I thought of when this video started playing is that his knees and feet must be so painful today. He's an incredible dancer and his troupe is wonderful, but what a price to pay.
I saw him live in River Dance and it was one of the best shows I have attended.
I concur with your sentiment.
I saw him live on 16 ocassions and he was spectacular.
Me too. One time. Still shakin' when I remember that Evening.... and it's been many years ago
It’s just summing else saw on the night ,saw it in Liverpool ,and watched it on TH-cam hundreds of times, just stunning music and dance it will live on forever and rightfully so

If you close your eyes it never sounds like more than one person dancing. How can so many dancers move with universally perfect timing ?
I had the pleasure of seeing Micheal live just once. What a talent! Thank you Micheal!!

I won't say so. The tap dancer is at a whole different level.
@@sarasmith3658 ²
It's the other way around. Irish dancing was around hundreds of years before Jackson. He borrowed from them.
Many years ago We saw a show. Incomparable talent,every dancer. A wonderful memory I'll always treasure
Such talent. I'm so happy he did all this for us to enjoy. Nobody can do it like Michael.
Michael is amazing, as always! 😮🎉❤ 0:25
