I saw this Spanish lady in Copenhagen about 11 years ago, and I honestly felt like learning to dance flamenco and also Irish dancing, but too bad, I'm in my late sixties and can't move that fast anymore ;-)
I'm from Germany, and one of my Dreams is, to make holidays Ireland. I love the irish traditions, history, nature and music. And if I see this show, i have to cry, because I'm absolutely overwhelmed by this faboulous performance. Everything fits! This is unique, THIS IS GODLIKE!
What a beautiful melding of Spanish and Irish dance. And now with a new dance company, you can really appreciate how many talented people there are! Wonderful!
I saw a bunch of those shows at Radio City. I also saw a bunch of those dancers at Langan's or Paddy Reilly's on 2nd ave when they had a residency at Radio City Music Hall. Only Riverdance could sell out Radio City for that long.
Totally awesome! Watching this and then the version with Michael Flatley there's no comparison. This fellow here is obviously emjoying the entirety of the dance and not just himself.

los amoooo a odosss amo sus coreos ojala yo tuiviera un poquito de todo el talento y el angel que tienen ellos la verdad, que dios los bendiga siempre jajjaja la fan numero 0 :)
Lough Nay.....good hunting....lovely place....River Bann good fishing...poker in the Marrian Hall...Kilrea...great memories....miss the soda scones and veg roll....the best!
Flatley is simply the best ever, whether you like him or not he was the star of Riverdance and always will be to anyone who saw the orginal production.
haha, that was great. I always thought that the flamenco's stamp and the riverdance were kind of similar. I like a lot both of them. Well, I must say that being andalusian I miss some guitar sound and a flamenco singer, but mixing both in the same show was a nice experiment.
i rented the tape to this from the library two years ago, i wish they could have another live performance in california, i would definitely see it. It's FANTASTIC!
Thanks. I needed that. It's been a little rough today and I've found myself here. I saw it with Flatley in DC and have had no trouble ever seeing Colin Dunne do this. There is such a fire between him and Jean. I also think this is a much better produced version than the video I have. This is much better thought-out on how to shoot it. Anyway, I never would have guessed I'd wind up here, and it was absolutely right. And if you'll excuse me, I need to watch it again.
I prefer the dresses with the poofy, see-through sleeves to the metallic light blue ones that they're using now. But the green dresses that they use for reel around the sun are gorgeous. Although the dresses they used to use were very classy and simple. I love the climax :D
Colin Dunne and Jean Butler should go down in history like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Absolutely beautiful dancing together! I wish they'd do a new show!
i love this....wha? colin have a black shirt when at the beggining and then a white shirt...oh my god...he is dressing up fast...:)))))) 5 stars...hm...Jean smiles when she stands head in head with colin...interesting....i love this...
Enitfra, the guy's name is Colin Dunne, described by Jean Butler as the best Irish Dancer in the world. He took over from Michael Flatley, when Flatley's ego got the better of him...
I like this version because Colin and Jean look like they are having fun together in the dances together, whereas you saw an almost rivalry or barely able to tolerate Micheal Flatley. flatley is good at his craft, but there is so much ego there. This makes the dance look so much better in my opinion. Erin
Goodness I'd love to dance this. I don't have to be the center of attention, just the challenges of remembering, and keeping pace, and the pride in your team would be wonderful... One of my favorite dances (though I rarely get to do it) is Morris Reel. Even though you can't say while you're doing it that you enjoy the way it steals your breath and tests your memory... When you've got a group who knows it and can actually do it (even if not perfectly) You can't stop the smiles.
i dunno if i was more amazed by the dancing or the light show. ^^ -srsly, well done! Is the dancing suppozed to remind you of deer? Cause thats exactly what the dancing reminds me of. Beautiful.
this modesty makes all the difference. This guy is far better tan Flatley. His sobriety goes according to the sobriety and skill of Irish dancing men. He knows how to be "First dancer" of troupé.
IT is in our heart and in our souls...music and dance of an undeafed nation of the world...the english tried and still try...Hail to the Irish...you crawl before you can walk...you walk before you can run...and dance before you die... An ode to all wankers below...and they know who they are..."Respect for others cost nothing provided it is due...the reward for respect of others is their respect for you..." Setanta... (IRAprovos).
Jean Butler , est tellement belle , que j'en ai des frissons elle est si féline , aériènne et sensuelle c'est une sublime Femme Irlandaise avec ses beaux cheveux roux .
@devilsluk Jean Butler is Irish American, rather than French. Therefore, it would be the English (or Irish American) pronunciation of Jean rather than the French pronunciation.
I don't know...I agree he (Michael) was too flashy - didn't see too much heart in his dancing, unlike Colin who is just phenomenal. I just think Colin is better. Look at how tight his dancing is, he's lighter on his feet, and I always thought the chemistry between Dunne and Butler far superior and more interesting!
@fazdoll The Problem with Michael is he believed himself better than everyon else and that he was the river dance.......Unfortunatly Colin show him up for who he was and it was colin that drew peoples attention back to the show ... colin is a humble dancer who breaths the music and enjoys what his doing. No offence intended to all Michael flatlely fan out there but give credit were its due . and it does not belong on michaels doorstep!
I used to see Flatley eat Irisman for breakfast. He was seventeen and my sister Kathleen was busy having her clock cleaned every week by a little bitty Jean Butler at every feish in N.Y. SUNNYSIDE QUEENS RULES!!!!!!!!

Butler, Dunne, all teh dancers, singers and musicians of that era... this was Riverdance. How I miss it =)
I'm from Germany, and one of my Dreams is, to make holidays Ireland. I love the irish traditions, history, nature and music. And if I see this show, i have to cry, because I'm absolutely overwhelmed by this faboulous performance. Everything fits! This is unique, THIS IS GODLIKE!
you're right. i enjoy this for one of the main reasons that you can tell that they completely enjoy what it is they are doing.
I completely agree. Colin is The Man.
Colin Dunne and Jean Butler are amazing. I LOVE irish dance and because of shows like this I have been dancing for 7 years.
Makes me so proud to be Irish!
What a beautiful melding of Spanish and Irish dance. And now with a new dance company, you can really appreciate how many talented people there are! Wonderful!
i could watch this over and over again and to top it off the riverdace is coming to oregon yes i am so there
I am so VERY proud to be Irish. Been there and Loved it. Riverdance is the best show live....go see it!!!!
stunning!!!!!!!!every dancer and all the music.
I went to go see this and it was the best night everrrrr!Her flemenco is the best I've ever seen =]
i love her flemenco...so much better than the dance i saw in barcelona.
I saw this show in Oslo years ago, and it was truly amazing!! The energy and the joy these dancers bring with them is awesome!
I saw a bunch of those shows at Radio City. I also saw a bunch of those dancers at Langan's or Paddy Reilly's on 2nd ave when they had a residency at Radio City Music Hall. Only Riverdance could sell out Radio City for that long.
I used to own this movie! my parents bought it when I was young and it made me fall in love with Riverdance and Celtic music.
wow the last two minutes give me goosebumps! THIS IS AWESOME! 5 STARS!
Saw this show show live in glasgow, one word: AMAZING!
Yeah, Colin, is the best, I wish they do like a reunion ( team 97, I think was the one in NY), where ever they go, I'll go to see them!.
I could literally watch irish dancing all day :)
Its so entertaining and fascinating
Totally awesome! Watching this and then the version with Michael Flatley there's no comparison. This fellow here is obviously emjoying the entirety of the dance and not just himself.

Bravissimi, stupendi.....

1996, Live from Radio City- New York. With Maria Pagés, jean butler & Colin Dunne
jean looks happier dancing with this guy than with michael
Michael was apparently a nightmare to work with!
And Colin kinda looks like he has a crush on her.
Flatley is simply the best ever, whether you like him or not he was the star of Riverdance and always will be to anyone who saw the orginal production.
It's cool how they had the Flamenco dancer battle the riverdancer! Man I miss to lord of the dance!
Colin Dunne and Jean Butler.. :) amazing isn't it?
This guy is way more attractive than Michael Flatley... Jean Butler is my role model!
makes me proud to say i have Irish blood in me. And English :)
fantastisk, greeting from Denmark
haha, that was great. I always thought that the flamenco's stamp and the riverdance were kind of similar. I like a lot both of them. Well, I must say that being andalusian I miss some guitar sound and a flamenco singer, but mixing both in the same show was a nice experiment.
i rented the tape to this from the library two years ago, i wish they could have another live performance in california, i would definitely see it. It's FANTASTIC!
ooo wow
I got goosebumps.
I looved this show when i went to see it. I was at this one and it was amazing!!!1
WOW just WOW !!!
Thanks. I needed that. It's been a little rough today and I've found myself here. I saw it with Flatley in DC and have had no trouble ever seeing Colin Dunne do this.

gOIN TO SEE THEM IN L.A. FOR MY B-DAY IN JANUARY!!!!! WOOHOO!!!! BRAVO!!!!
The line at the end still sends chills down my spine after all these years.
I just wish the camera wouldn't jump around so much...
I loved it...
Michael Flatley and Jean Butler rules.
I prefer the dresses with the poofy, see-through sleeves to the metallic light blue ones that they're using now. But the green dresses that they use for reel around the sun are gorgeous. Although the dresses they used to use were very classy and simple.
I love the climax :D
i love the light show. it makes everything look so exciting :D
Colin Dunne and Jean Butler should go down in history like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Absolutely beautiful dancing together! I wish they'd do a new show!
Ciertamente si, es fascinante... Saludos!
Me encantan desde los 3 años
i love this....wha? colin have a black shirt when at the beggining and then a white shirt...oh my god...he is dressing up fast...:)))))) 5 stars...hm...Jean smiles when she stands head in head with colin...interesting....i love this...
Unbelievable how fast their legs are !! Wow !
The last song in the riverdance is Heartland!!!!!!!
Enitfra,
the guy's name is Colin Dunne, described by Jean Butler as the best Irish Dancer in the world. He took over from Michael Flatley, when Flatley's ego got the better of him...

So brilliant, the whole team!
I was somewhat amazed when I learned that Jeanne Butler is an American from New York. I just always assumed she was Irish.
Colin Dunne is hardcore. I was in this audience and we didn't miss the Flat at all. UP LONG BEACH!!!!!
Goodness I'd love to dance this. I don't have to be the center of attention, just the challenges of remembering, and keeping pace, and the pride in your team would be wonderful...
One of my favorite dances (though I rarely get to do it) is Morris Reel. Even though you can't say while you're doing it that you enjoy the way it steals your breath and tests your memory...

i think they should all the riverdancing groups in the world together and have one giant riverdance sesh
Es lo maximo
Simply breathtaking!
The male leads name is Colin Dunne. And I would pay good money to see him, Michael Flatley, Daire Nolan, and Brendan de Gallai have a dance duel.
i love this and im part irish wooo lol
Colin Dunne
That is María Pagés, the flamenco dancer. Jean Butler appears at 03:20.
wonderful!!!!
i only wish my country could have something like this
This dance sequence was included in the Riverdance cd's
this modesty makes all the difference. This guy is far better tan Flatley. His sobriety goes according to the sobriety and skill of Irish dancing men. He knows how to be "First dancer" of troupé.
love it
IT is in our heart and in our souls...music and dance of an undeafed nation of the world...the english tried and still try...Hail to the Irish...you crawl before you can walk...you walk before you can run...and dance before you die...

That was epic.
estoy tan inspirada wow esto es facinante
@zumlum You're right, this is awesome too !
Jean Butler , est tellement belle , que j'en ai des frissons elle est si féline , aériènne et sensuelle c'est une sublime Femme Irlandaise avec ses beaux cheveux roux .
Just great
Colin made me love Riverdance. Well, Jean might have had something to with it, and the music too, but....
you get the idea.
Amazing, I cannot say more.
I agree. He does not seem to be full of him self like Flatly.
amazing :D my jaw dropped for minutes at a time, i can't even find the words to say about all this :)
I dare anyone who watches this to sit absolutely still.
I like the Irish chicks!
@devilsluk Jean Butler is Irish American, rather than French. Therefore, it would be the English (or Irish American) pronunciation of Jean rather than the French pronunciation.

muy bueno para ser real
hey i was in th forth row when i was watching that
this makes me want to take up irish step dancingggg, i wante dto when i was younger but i only took ballet
this is amazing
Wow!
Wow...this was amazing ...i just love it:D
I wanna know.
Is the heartland songs on ANY of the riverdance cds??
Cuz i cant find one with it on there. and its my FAVORITE SONG.
I mean damn
Anyone else think that this should be an olympic event?
i agree that Jean is absolutly amazing but this is Joanne.
@fazdoll The Problem with Michael is he believed himself better than everyon else and that he was the river dance.......Unfortunatly Colin show him up for who he was and it was colin that drew peoples attention back to the show ... colin is a humble dancer who breaths the music and enjoys what his doing. No offence intended to all Michael flatlely fan out there but give credit were its due . and it does not belong on michaels doorstep!
Wow! Think, if one just messed up in that line evertone might mess up or stumble over! 0_o
bello!!
I used to see Flatley eat Irisman for breakfast. He was seventeen and my sister Kathleen was busy having her clock cleaned every week by a little bitty Jean Butler at every feish in N.Y. SUNNYSIDE QUEENS RULES!!!!!!!!
DANCING IS DANCING ENJOY,,,,
