I'd heard of the man - Michael Flatley some years back - heard he was world champion at one time for Irish Dancing. Heard he had the world record for taps per second. Heard he had been with River Dance years ago, but left over a dispute of some sort.
But did not know much more than the above ..... UNTIL I bought the NEW DVD "Lord of the Dance" (2011) just a few weeks ago.
Sat down today to watch it!!!!
Oh my oh my WHAT A SHOW!!! It takes Irish dance, music, and song, to a NEW LEVEL!!!
UNBELIEVABLE, TERRIFIC, STUPENDOUS, AND GREAT IN EVERY WAY, AND IN WAYS THAT ARE NOT EVER WAY, BUT THE TALENTED MIND OF MICHAEL.
He was told, it could not be done, not be done, not be done, and not be done. Well with gutsy determination he set out to prove IT COULD BE DONE!!
I've just looked up about Michael on Wikipedia and you have his basic life in a relatively short number of paragraphs.
On the front of this new DVD show is: "The Spectacular Brand New Show!" - "A show piece extravaganza" (The Los Angeles Times) - "Thunderously impressive" (BBC Online) - "Truly jaw-dropping" (The Daily Star) - "The Flatley magic is back wholly intact" (The Daily Telegraph)
On the bottom of the front cover: "The Mystery. The Music. The Magic. Like You've Never Seen It Before"
......
Well forget about the other Michael - this Michael is still alive and dancing up a storm like you've never seen an Irish Dance show before.
On the back in part: "The international smash-hit, Lord of the Dance, is back with an all new electrifying show. Filmed live in Dublin and London during the sold out 2011 European Tour....
the breathtaking performance comprises a spectacular new set design, sate-of-the-art lighting, special effects and costumes that will captivate audiences both young and old..... and exclusive behind the scenes footage.....
......
Well it certainly is breath-taking in scope, and Michael appears to be a real nice down-to-earth guy with his crew of expert dancers and musicians and with the audience.
So TWO THUMB UP for Michael and this new 2011 DVD - Lord of the Dance.
