Introducing The New Michael Flatley And Riverdance For The Millennials

When Riverdance first appeared as an interval act at the Eurovision in ’95, it quickly became a global phenomenon. 

It made a star out of Michael Flatley, made a lot of people rich and made Irish dancing cool again (or rather, cool in the first place). 

Fast forward a couple of decades and we might just be about to see the next incarnation of Irish dancing. The video above features revolutionary young Cork-born choreographer and World Champion Irish Dancer Alan Kenefick, and his award winning troupe of dancers.

This is effectively a promo video for a new show called ProdiJIG which will start in Cork Opera house in the summer of 2016. 

It’ll take a lot to beat hoofer Flatley and the success Riverdance has had, but it does feel like a new modern take on the show is needed and this could be it.
