You cannot beat perfection. If it was not for Michael Flatley, none of the other Irish dance shows would exist today. Met him on several occasions, always a gent. His troupes are always fantastic, great bunch of people. The whole thing is magical. and that is an understatement.
Feather Fawn He truly is one of a kind. On top of dancing he was also a Golden globe boxer and he played the flute. Multi-talented man to say the least. Plus he can still dance like that with some serious injuries he has to deal with from dancing this long. Let's not forget his amazing choreography skills, since he does that and puts the show together. He was 57 here. He would of been dancing for 47 years at this point. That's a lot of work. The abuse on his entire body is unreal. I hope by the time I get there that I can still move like that. Ok, close you having that energy anyway. I will never dance like that. I don't have that energy now and I'm 25ish yrs behind him. I'm depressing myself now. I thought I was in shape, until I started thinking about it. Softball, volleyball, etc have nothing on dancing like this. That's an extreme sport not dancing. I'm trying to make myself feel better here. 😬😬😂😂☹️☹️😢
Him and Ronan created something really special. It blew my mind as a child and it still rocks me and puts me in a good mood. The amount of strain this put on his body over the years to move like this... I cant even fathom.
It sucks to get older...after watching him for so many years, I understand how this dancing has taken a toll on his body. God Bless him for giving us sooo many wonderful years in the spotlight! He's absolutely brilliant!!😊
Distorted spine, several ribs broken, knees worn out, cracked bone in one foot that won't heal. That's the price his body paid for his outstanding performance.
what do you mean do guest parts? he still performs?? id be surprised if he did. im so sad I missed him! he was my childhood. I use to dance around the house and i tried to dance like him and the other dancers when i was younger lol. im in the US, he didnt perform here as much.
As an Irish dancer that has been dancing for at least 5 years this is what I aspire to do. I have been working toward an Irish team and a chance to go to at least local competitions and I got to that this year. I am now on my local Irish team and I'm going to at least 1 competition this year. I can't wait to get as far as I Can. This is what inspired me when I was little to start dancing. Thank you Mr Flatley for helping me get this far. Irish dance helped me so much and it makes me feel free from my restraints hard shoes are My personal favorite no matter how hard they are to dance in they are the most amazing sounding shoes you will ever put on your feet if you know what you're doing.
My Irish dance studio in NY called me when I was in college, across the country, in 1995 to ask if I wanted to audition for Lord of the Dance. I said no. 😐
I had the pleasure to watch Michael flatleys dancers in Berlin 2 years ago, they’re still AWESOME without him!! But he will always be the LORD of the dance
My grandma en mother loved him allready and they showed me a videotape from lord of the dance when i was just 6 years old. I fell in love right away! And a few years ago he came to Holland and i was at the show with my mom and grandma. We had the best time ever! We still love Michael and Always will but the new guy did a great job at that show we were at. Amazing! 👍🏻
J'ai découvert Michael Flattley un peu par hasard en cherchant des danses irlandaises...et je suis tombé sur Riverdance! Je n'ai jamais rien vu ni admiré de tel. Ce danseur est un grand seigneur, LE SEIGNEUR DE LA DANSE. Un immense BRAVO à lui
I'm a very, very big Fan from Michael Flatley. He was the best Irish Stapdancer all over the World. Thanks so much Michael for this wonderful time with you. We all missing you. You're always Wellcome here in Germany !! Your Fan Heike 👍👍👍👍.
Quel homme ce Michael, j'adore tout simplement ,je regarde chaque jours ces vidéos Michael est le prince et mon cœur est tout entier à ce que vous dégagez i love you from swisszerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭💕💕💕💕💕
Broader in the beam? Sure. But Flatley's still got his Celto-Boogie down. Best of all, the torch is being handed on to the next generation of dancers. He gave the world this wonderful art form, and we are all richer for it. Thank you, my friend.
Whenever I have had the opportunity to witness any of Michael Flatley's performances, it sends chills up my spine. I have seen his performance when he visited Chicago and I was simply awestruck! I am certain the performers who trained under him were super excited and fortunate to have learned from, who in my opinion, one of the best at the craft and art of dance. 💗💗
Впервые увидела Майкла Флетли 20 лет назад.Это было фантастическое шоу. С тех пор восторг перед этим потрясающим артистом ничуть не уменьшился.БРАВО !!!
There's too many words to list as compliments to these in comparably amazing dancers. Thanks to Mr Flatley,new generations learn & entertain audiences. So grateful this dancing style is kept alive to enjoy.
you can always have new lead dancers . but michael flatley will always be the man who invented the the style . without michael these wouldnt be on this stage now . all respect to this crew though . they are brilliant .
Bobbie Ellcey i am 20 when i was young i use to see him in celtic tiger in Manchester or so i think but i remember at the end of show he waved at everyone when the Curtain slowly close i ran ran up to give him a wave and a thumbed up and i caught his eye n he waved back and a thumbed at me i will never forget the day he done that :') hes a beautiful kind hearted man x
Dans 2 jours, le 5 octobre à Dijon, j'y serai. J'en suis déjà toute excitée. Que du bonheur immense à venir avec ma fille ! Youaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Merci Michael Flatley d'être un si merveilleux danseur et d'avoir créé vos deux compagnies.
@@jlperz77 - His way of dealing with women, ask Jean Butler. His going around bad mouthing people and taking credit for things he had nothing to do with - Riverdance was already created before he joined the show and he's tried to take credit for the show ever since.
I watch these dancers with my mouth wide open in disbelief....every single person on that stage is super talented....Micheal is the business brain behind it too....
Man I still remember a long time ago watching tv. I had no idea what the movie was but now it seems like the start of lord of the dance. Simple movie a dad working hard and rowing across a pond to take his daughter to dance lessons. Irish music and tapping the beat of flow.
Opinions one way or the other, no one can nay say: *What he did for Irish Worldwide through his "Pure Positive Energies Vibrating of the Highest of Frequencies" aka *"He danced his Irish Arse' off and Raised Everyone's Spirits"* He danced us Proud and I'm so appreciating this. . 🎆🍀🎆
Every time I watch river dance I burst into tears, one of the absolute greatest! I remember watching the 1996 video with my step dad and it’s amazed me ever since thank you Michael Flatley 🍀❤️
I practically grew up on the Riverdance (1995) videotape. I always loved it. Now he's slowing down :( So sad to see a legend fade. He has great style, and lots of finesse. I'm glad he did his thing as long as he did.
I’ve heard that he is responsible for bringing Irish Step Dancing to the mainstream. Idk if it’s true but I am thankful to whoever did! It’s a true phenomenon
Can we just take a moment and appreciate the background dancers for their amazing synchronization
No
@@JC-ot6ec why did you watch it so moron
He was gruelling to them
Amazing.
Yes, we all do!
Im watching this and it's November 2023. I love it. Such talent not just by Michael but the whole crew. Sensational. Thank you.

My husband and I had the amazing experience of seeing Michael Flatly dance, twice. The music and dance were very emotional. ❤
Flatley is one of a kind. Who can dance like that at any age.. let alone his age. The man is a legend!!

Yes. The legs 100% will have career syndrome
Yes, arthritis has caused Mr. Flatley to step back. He has been a wonder.
@@MrsEJV Yes, I miss this amazing legend!!

Never get tired of Lord of the Dance. Michael Flatley, a man of vision that showed us all what Irish Dance is capable of❤❤❤
It's 2020 - and this *NEVER - EVER - Gets old* It's as exciting, entertaining, thrilling as it will always be in eternity 💗 Thank you Mr. Flatley!
2022
He still will direct and do guest parts. He brought Irish dance music to the world stage. He will always be a legend.

@@mayganphynix8267 he's retired
world stage my ass nobody knows who this is
@@mayganphynix8267 Guest parts means music performances. He may be retired as a dancer but remains active in music, aside from directing.
How could you not know him
"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"
Chandler from Friends!! LOL That's exactly what I think of when he's dancing. LOL
Found a chandler fan here
@@manasahegde2617 I'd say a couple at least. LOL I miss Friends.

Good luck to you!
I will watch it again......and again.... and will never get tiered of it.
I will always regret never having the privilege of seeing Lord of the Dance live. Truly amazing performers.
I was just about to say the same thing. I'd do anything to see this live
Thank God I took the chance to see LORD OF THE DANCE live 22 years ago in Vienna!! Michael... you certainly are the LORD of the dance...!!🤩🤩🤩
My Irish dance studio in NY called me when I was in college, across the country, in 1995 to ask if I wanted to audition for Lord of the Dance. I said no. 😐
Don't forget his earlier show Riverdance
I have booked to see this amazing show this October in Sheffield. Wish I had seen Michael at the helm though. Can't wait to see it.
Lord of the dance indeed!❤
