When it comes to dancing, people will go out of their way to make sure that they watch those who are very skilled at it. We see it on TV on shows such as Dancing With The Stars or So You Think You Can Dance. It is also seen in many traditional forms, such as Riverdance and there is one name that stands out above the rest for this traditional Irish music and dance, Michael Flatley.
Considered to be the “originator of Riverdance”, he really helped to give the music and the performances the flavor that it deserves. As it continued to grow worldwide, it became more and more popular but there were also some issues that were occurring behind the scenes that many people did not know about. For example, there were some creative differences and even financial issues that were threatening the shows.
Finally, Michael Flatley decided that he was leaving Riverdance and he did so in 1995. His final performance is beautiful and it is something that has brought many people to tears. That is not only true for those who saw it live; you’re likely to need some tissues by the time this video is over as well. Watch it with someone you love.
