...and a special guest!
In 1996, Michael Flatley assembled the greatest team of Irish dancers the world had ever seen. Many of them left their jobs to take a chance on Michael; they believed in him when no one else did, and they had only ten weeks to build a show -- or the dream would die forever.
The show: LORD OF THE DANCE.
It worked.
The 1996 OG Troupe are the rock stars of the Irish dance world. They achieved the impossible: the billion-dollar dance show.
No one has seen them perform for years. In some cases, decades.
Now, at last -- they return.
This video is dedicated to the medical personnel and essential front-line services keeping us all safe. They are the true heroes, and it is for them that we assemble now and pay tribute.

From Team Flatley:
If you enjoyed this video, please help spread the word! We hope this special reunion performance of the Lord of the Dance 1996 OG Troupe brought a smile to your face!
Thank you so much for this mr. flatley and all the dancers . Love from israel🇮🇱💙
Thank you so much for this, as I was a caregiver to several people with fading memories, and not having families that would care for them. I loved my time with them, both the good and bad days. Now I am 70+ and have my own challenges with memory. I hope when I need a caregiver I will be treated as well as I cared for my people.
Mate, we saw you and your team when you came to Auckland New Zealand all those years ago, it was astounding how magically good you all were. The Venues were jamb packed, Thank you----- Gib
Please consider joining in if any more are done, we'd love to see you! 🥰
Absolutely loved this Mr Flatley and the dancers too thankyou! would be good to see you in these aswell!
This just proves once a dancer, always a dancer. I enjoyed this immensely! Those mommies and daddies can still kick ass! Bravo!
Indeed! they've still got it!!
And always remember a saying my mom who was a dancer. That dance is poetry in motion
ZORAGARRIA🤩
I love how when there were children on the couch paying no attention whatsoever. Like, meh, seen one dance, seen em all .
"That's just mommy and daddy".
Or tackling a punching bag!
Yes that made me smile,
This made my day. Well done to all of you, still as talented as ever, ye were our heros too all those years ago! Keep dancing ❤
This had me in tears, i feel like we all grew up together, i saw many shows live and watched videos/dvds regularly. everybody still looks beautiful and i can’t believe I remember all of your names. Hope everyone is safe through all of this. Thank you for putting a huge smile on all of our faces ❤️ “Forever in our hearts”
Cute comment!
Same here! ♥♥♥
Gosh.... this music STILL gets me all these years later... Still one of the most amazing productions ever conceived.
Gave me shivers, tears in my eyes, absutley amazing, well done everyone, gods blessing to all nhs staff, carers, you are all true heroes.
These were all my childhood heros.
I never imagined a dance could be choreographed for the internet! And all those dancers were in different places.
AWESOME. Just wished we could've seen Michael!!!!!!
MY. CHILDHOOD. RIGHT. HERE. I’ve fallen in love with you all again 25 years later ❤️❤️❤️ my daughter is now the same age as I was when I discovered MF & LOTD, she too is now obsessed! Thank you so much ❤️
thanks to this show, Irish dance came to Russia and later there were many schools of Irish dance throughout Russia. thanks to all of you.
That is actually so nice to see people who have gone on and are not only living good lives but have expanded their experience and talents. Thank you.
Daire!!
I love how the kids are like, "there goes mum and dad again." 🤣
Oooh this has really made me smile...thankyou Michael and a huge thankyou to all of the dancers 💜
Terri-Anne Elverd same here I can never have enough of watching them
They still got it
OMG a quarter of a century ago, these guys came to Auckland New Zealand, And they were "Sensational" another word would be "Astounding", we saw them Twice everybody talked about them for weeks", I still have the CD,, it was and still is ---Great
Wow this is amazing! So good to see the original cast doing their thing!! Especially Gillian!! ❤
This made my day. I still have the 1996 version on VHS. I was mesmerised as a child (34 now) and to see everyone, especially Gillian, Bernadette and Daire was pretty amazing. As michael said.....
"One more time!?"
Brillant love watching the orignal cast they are still the best
I was hoping that we'd see Michael Flatley dancing in his kitchen.
His legs probably aren't insured for those floors
I saw a recent interview with him. He has so much damage to his joints and pain throughout, that he really can't dance anymore. I guess you could say he truly gave it his all.
Him not dancing but at least to see him again. 😪
@@dtaylor4552 yes.
@@anniketimmermans1900 Thanks so much for the update, I have been an immensely huge fan of him and his team for ages. I had been wondering recently where he's been and now I know. ✌🏾much appreciated.
God bless them all.
Bernadette and Gillian...total legends.
My mouth is in a HUGE smile...I LOVED THIS !!! The first cast has always held a big place in my heart...A BIG HUG sent out to all of you..This is so heart warming, grand and fun during this time. We needed this return of your talents so much !!! Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you to all of the self sacrificing medical personnel who have inspired this.❤❤❤
Every one of you, ever one, you are all the most important part of that great production. Without any of you, this wouldn't have been possible. Thank you for sharing your hearts, lives and dancing with us. Thank you for reviving this wonderful Lord of the Dance, some twenty-four years later. Thank you for allowing us into your homes and hearts. (Listen, this wasn't just a dance; it was that incredible entrance inoi the invisible, into the seldom seen by mortals; the magic of presentation, something all of us seldom get to witness. It burns a fire, a heat that touches and flames the hearts all so many who see it. Not a light thing to take for granted!), Thanks for the vid!
What a lovely tribute to the front-liners, and what a generous gift to the rest of us! My jaws LITERALLY ache from grinning all the way through, and my eyes sting with tears. As we say in California, "You've still got it!" All of you. ALL of you.
I was a teenager wen I first watched Lord of the dance, one of my favourite childhood dances, Gypsy was one of my favourite dancer's, I constantly watched Lord of the dance on a loop I wore out my VHS 📼 tape, wot a lovely tribute to the late great Mark Gilley ❤️.x
Out of all the styles I studied (ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, and some ballroom) this was probably the most difficult, mostly because it’s such a different technique. I’m in my late 20’s now and it’s probably been about 6-7 years since I’ve consistently practiced any style and I could not do that without some serious practice and conditioning. People underestimate how demanding it is to maintain that speed while doing the fast footwork and trying not to fall on your a**. Kudos to everyone, that was amazing.
Splendido montaggio,entusiasmante vedere quei magnifici ragazzi che non hanno perso il sorriso e la grazia dei movimenti !
BRAVO a tutti Voi,indimenticabili nei nostri cuori !
I loved it the first time I saw this, it's still just as true today. Thank you for honoring us, the planet, the First Responders. I thank you! Love. Maria. My Mother's Father was Irish.
Everyone looks great after 25 years!! Bernadette and Gillian still look beautiful ❤️
Congratulations Bernadette on your baby
Stay safe everyone!
Social distancing, wear a mask and please get vaccinated!
I'm in tears. I attended the show in HYDE Park in London while living in Mayfair. The Lord of the Dance Franchise was and is True entertainment! To see them with their precious babies and families is such a gift.
I never get tired of watching any of the Riverdance videos from so many of there performances.
Michael Flatley certainly created a legacy with his Riverdance we will always enjoy and remember
Once I saw this performance on DVD back in 96 or 97 I was hooked. I then saw Michael Flatley (LOD) in 2001 at MSG in NYC. One of the greatest live performances I've ever seen! This reunion piece was amazing. Everyone in the OG cast was truly spectacular bringing Michael's creation to life! The training, rehearsals, commitment & dedication by all really paid off for everyone involved. To this day I still talk about LOD! You should all be very proud of your accomplishments. Special shoutout to Gillian (always was my favorite!) BRAVO!
Awwww the memories !!! I worked at the London Coliseum when you first came to London with this show .. id sneak in from working the bar to watch you everyday for a month ... it was magical
Brilliant. And thanks to all the hardworking nurses and care staff in the HSE who look after patients with Alheimzers.
When this show first came out, there was no doom and gloom that surrounds us now. They shared their talent, their hearts, and their souls, to make a show that mesmerized, enchanted, and enthralled us from the opening notes where Helen Egan comes out, all the way through to the final stomp. We came, we watched, and we embraced.
How then, some 20+ years later, when all these talented artists come together to reunite their love of dance for a global audience, can we not again, get entranced by the same magic that took hold of us the first time we heard and saw it?
It is to bring a smile to me when I see some of their now family members, the young kids, watching mommy or daddy doing a jig, and all they can do is vaguely look up from their smart phones or hand held computers, roll their eyes, and figure " oh well, Mommy or Daddy is just doing a funny dance".....when back then, there wasn't the technology we have now, and entertainment was eclipsed by the talent up on that stage ( or DVD ).
Thank you, each and every one of you, who once again brought your talents to a world blanketed in gloom and despair, and for just a mere few minutes, showed that we can see the good that's around us, coming from those who want to share their talents "one-more-time".......
Bezaubernd. Für immer und ewig. Danke für das wunderbare Video.
Aahh the little spirit! You haven't changed a bit 😊
Enjoyed this video very much 😁
THIS IS SIMPLY FANTASTIC. CHILLS, LOVE, AND GREAT JOY HERE!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVE it. Bravo Everyone. Its the simple things that make us appreciate every day. Seriously cannot get enough of this.
Nice to see Kathleen's fridge stocked for every eventuality x
She probably started drinking because she has to stay home all the time.
For me you are and always stay the real lords and queens of the dance !!!!! Love you guys !!! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱Lillian 🌹
they're all Legends......... they probably dance in their sleep. it's awesome. I really really want to see this show Live...and in Ireland. Totally. It's such a great dance style, or sport....... wished I was put into classes when I was young. it looks like an unbelievable workout......wonder if they have over 40's classes for Learners, now that would be fun and entertaining trying to learn some basic steps.
Ihr seid die Besten, super Video. Tolle Menschen und Tänzerinnen/Tänzer!
It doesn't get any better than this! So much fun watching this video!
my childhood! since the first time I saw the show y felt in love to the show and the precious world of dance, the celtic music and everything else. I studied for 8 years tap and was very greatful for me to have studied so amazing discipline. Thanks all of you for motivate me and discover that dance is equal to love.
What a great idea!! Thanks to all of you and to the medical personnel !!
This popped up on my somebody commented and of course I had to watch the video again. Love the old cast you were great and danced great now.
Liked seeing kids expressions could almost hear a couple saying REALLY MOM OR DAD..
Loved it .THANKYOU.
Who has arranged this? Thank you so much. It's so great !!!
Mein Herz lacht, es ist so schön, der Tanz und die Musik!!
Wow. Kudos to the original cast giving us the joy of seeing "then" and "now." Well done.
Absolutely delightful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My goodness! What a treat!!!! 😁😊😁 Thank you so, so much for this video. Made my day!!!!!! Kisses and hugs to each one of you from across the miles.😊😆😊
OMG! Brilliant! Thank you! And Daire Nolan! WOW!
Yes -- he was my favorite in the show. Regrets that I never got to see him live and would have loved to have seen him play a hero part and really cut loose!
Klasse, sehr, sehr schön!
Loved it, amazing to see dancers that I’ve not seen for years 👏👏👏
You gave me the night of my live back in the nineties!!!! I watched Lord of the dance on television new years eve!!! Thanks it was super !! Love you all ,greeting from the Netherlands 🇳🇱Lillian 🌹
OMG, I LOVED this so much! Thank you! All these Irish dancing gorgeous people who are still gorgeous and showed up in this video at a later time in their lives. This was a showcase of how wonderful performers who went on to live a continuously gorgeous life with their people. It's the most beautiful demonstration of youth and growing older gracefully that I've ever seen.
Why am i seeing this video just now... im literally crying my eyes out. This is amazing❤
From a very young age i used to always watch the hyde park dvd, its been over 20years and im still in love❤
Remarkable! You never lose it!
GILLIAN!!!!!! OMG THIS MADE MY DAY
Thank you to whoever pulled this together. Saw the original dancers in Sydney Australia. Best show I’ve ever seen by far. Everyone still looks amazing.
Glad to say I was there, not specifically that one but the same troupe and michael flatley himself and ar wembley 23 year's ago, when I was just nineteen and my mum and I loved it.Was christmas present off my parents.Will never forget it esoecially when Michael burst on to his very first scene- the whoke place, atmosphere, roar from everybody was electrifying wow😍- thank you to tyem doing this it reignited the stunning music, dancing, beauty of the show including them dancer's, musicician's, just the whole perfection and essence of the amazing Lord Of The Dance.Flatley himself was sexy, a league of his own and a true showman and aaked nothing lews of his whole crew.What a night.
SEN-SA-CIO-NAL!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
I was hoping the special guest was Michel.... thank you Michael Flatley!😘
I remember watching lord of the dance when I was a kid in the 90s in South Africa on TV (must have been a VHS or something). This take me back!
Incredible to watch, still so much energy, amazingly done. Is it really 25 years, the talent has never left any of them. Certainly brightened my evening watching that. Thanks.
Would love to see the original cast together again...all in one place, when this virus is over!
If it is one thing that is good that results from a pandemic, is that Lord of the Dance lives on and can be performed at home! Does not have to be limited to the confines of a world stage. Bravo to all these dancers! Wish I can tap like them!
This is amazing! I was 13 when I first saw Lord of the Dance and have watched it many times over the years! To see so many familiar faces just made my day! Especially Gillian! (Gypsy is my fave 👌) 💜
Gypsy was my favourite too ❤️.x
Brings back so many memories to when I was young. The original cast had something really special.
This was a nice flashback. Would’ve been cool to have Flatley at least just bow or wave in an added segment.
You all certainly still have the moves!
It would actually be very fun, to create a one/off show of the original stage and costumes, and get the OG troupe to perform, 3 numbers, Cry of the celts, Lord of the dance, and Victory, and then inbetween have the new troupe do the other numbers.
Would be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
C'est magnifique ,de Grand danseurs ♥️♥️♥️
Swear to god, every part of me body tingled as I watched it, made me smile contentedly all day🇮🇪😊 so proud of u all
This film had me in tears. Yes I'm Sentimental, but they're Happy Tears ! Thank you to everyone who took part. Thank you Michael Flatley.
So sweet to see all the dancers grown up and with their families. I saw the show in NYC and absolutely loved it! Michael, why must you torture us so? Come say hello! Show us that million dollar smile. You are THE Lord of the Dance, and we need to see you!
Génial ! Et oui on vieillit tous mais quelle pêche encore ! Merci !! ❤️
Thank you, thank you! What an amazing Covid dance party. Even more amazing is that you were able to get footage of everyone. Michael, I had the wonderful pleasure of seeing you and your awesome troupe in Boston, MA. years ago. I'll never forget it.
Thank you all. It is truly a message that we in the States need right now...hope and Joy. Love to you all.
It’s nice to see what they look like now .
This is my absolute favorite of all these stay at home reunion videos! I smiled the entire time, and I love that they all still "got it"!
They've still got it! Thank you so much for sharing this!
What can I say...my heart is crying out for your dance to heal the world!
Loved seeing all the families of these dancers! And so cool that these past cast members can still dance so well...😎
OMG 🤣 Daire Nolen is so funny! I LOVE HIM! 😊
I have tears watching this. It's so inspiring and such a gift. Thank you so much for putting this together for all of us to enjoy. I am loving it. So fun to see you all in your regular lives. Amazing talent 👌
No matter many time I’ve watched this video it’s as if was the first. It’s such an enjoyable video brings me a big smile. So, great to see the then and afterwards of all the dancers. Beautifully done.
I didnt realise how much I needed this. Loved lord of the dance as a child! Well done to all those dancers, and to the person who edited the video.
Boy, this bought back some wonderful memories! As a nurse, I appreciate you and am amazed again at the talent shown. Thank you!😁🤩👏❤
Bloody brilliant 💚🇮🇪🇮🇪
This was brilliant - I loved that some of the dancers were doing other things - playing pool, cooking pancakes, at the office. So wonderful.
Still gives me chills watching this. Well done everyone, just what we needed at this worrying time xx
The music and the dancing make my heart race!!!
Oh my god thank you for this, its amazing and I LOVE YOU DAIRE NOLAN xx 💚
Amazing!! I love the energy in the dancing. Great job everyone.
¡Muchas gracias! Me encantó!!!
How inspiring to see the original cast again. After a medical injury that temporarily put me in a wheelchair, I am inspired to dance again, which I did as a child and I am now 58!!! God bless all of you! Great to see that some of their children have acquired that dancing gene! I pray that some of them carry that incredible talent into the future of Irish Dance. ❤❤❤
