      All the dancers are as good as Michael Flarley that makes that troup so marvelous. Now i ll say what I think in French, my native language. Aucune troupe de danseurs ne pourra égaler, encore moins surpasser la perfection et l unité de cette troupe, on croirait voir un seul et unique danseur vu l homogénéité.

      I've heard about the guy being arrogant over and over through the years. Since I don't personally know the man, I couldn't tell whether that's true or not. But if it is...I must say, that arrogance did him worlds of good on stage. Because, apart from being a fantastic dancer - which undoubtedly he is, but so are many others - the thing to distinguish him more than anything, his allure, was exactly that : his imposing stage presence, head always up high, eyes shining with pride and the "I'm The King and The Lord" atitude. Everything else, even his technique and stamina, somebody else might come to reach one day. The new guy is pretty good, actually. Not Flately good, but good. However, I'm having a hard time imagining somebody will ever equal his atitude, and the way he knew how to sell it, lol. For me, he's a giant in his line of work, regardless of whhat he may be like in his real life. I always make sure to never enter in the kitchen of my favourite restaurant, you know.

      @@CB394 That is exactly what I called it, "imposing stage presence". I have no knowledge of his "arrogance", nor lack of it, for that matter. He's not somebody I personally know, so I wouldn't dream of passing judgement on anyone, based on media rants. As for the article posted above in these comments, I went through it quickly, and I must say, the so called "arrogance" sounds to me more like finally an artist knew what he wants done, how to get it done, and what it's worth. So instead of letting himself milked dry by the big sharks, he decided to do it himself, for himself, his dancers and his public. Bet that stepped on more than a few toes, eh? Let's face it, a big league manager boasting about "buying him a 10000 $ pair of shoes" is...cringy, at best. I can't imagine it was a birthday present, but rather an investment. The guy knew well that those 10.000 $ shoes on THOSE feet, would come back to him as millions, later. Who is he kidding?

    As a former dancer in multiple disciplines, I can vouch that when the crowd amps up, it doesn't matter if your routine was 10 minutes or 4 hours. You may be tired and sore, but it all falls away as your own love for your craft mingles with the audience's ovation and the joy you brought them.
    Yes, this troop did a piece of the finale 3 extra times. And I guarantee you its a moment all of them carry with reverence and a smile to this day. Because when the show run is over, these are the moments you look back on and think "wow, can't believe I was part of something like that!"

    My mother took me to see this around 13 years ago when I was somewhere around 14 years old. At the time, being a teenager, I never wanted to go to the shows my mom wanted to "drag" me to because I thought it was stupid. She would take me to concerts, musicals, plays, etc. Everytime, I would dread going but afterwards, I would come out absolutely amazed by what I just saw. This was one of those shows. After I saw this performance, I was speechless. It is still to this day the most powerful, beautiful, amazing show I have ever seen. Especially this finale part. The music alone was so powerful that it gets everyone out of their seats cheering for just one more dance. Now that I'm older, I am so grateful for my mom taking me to see all these amazing performances. I've been looking every year since then to see if Lord Of The Dance will be back in Chicago but I haven't seen anything. I think they only perform mostly in Europe now. I am so thankful that I got a chance to see this in person.

I then went to see it went it went on tour a few years ago & got to meet Bernie, who played the lead girlie (blonde hair) & tell her how much the show has helped me. She was a darling. I would give ANYTHING to see Michael dance in his final tour, I think it would be the most incredible thing in the world. I cried my eyes out watching this & my DVD is worn out!

    Its nice to see how many people envy Michael Flatley for his personal success. All this people should know that he was the person that creates Riverdance 1994 as intermediate show during the Eurovision Song Contest. Without him nobody of this talented tap dancers (worldchampions) would have work since over 20 years. It was Michael Flatley that bring Irish tap in the world, so modern and powerful to fill worldtours, city halls and stadiums. Lord of the Dance is his personal show that he creates after left Riverdance. After heart problems he comes 2011 back on stage because milliones of fans wants to see the only and unique "Lord" of Dance. On this show 1996 in Dublin was Michael Flatley around 40 years old. I would like to see the people that critism him if they can dance like him. Last details, he is still record holder with 35 steps per second ;-).

    I'm pretty sure that Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance and Feet of Flame performances were where I first became aware that I love Celtic dancing. This "Michael Flatley - Lord of the dance finale" was an excellent segment of Michael at his top. I was quite fascinated at his ability to do those high, strutting steps. They were amazing steps powered by a strong ego and incredible dancing ability. Thank you, David Roth, for posting this.

      Thank you, *****, for catching that mistake. I hope David Rath will accept my apology. I'm delighted that you took the time to let me know. Also, thank you for explaining what "btw" stands for. I honestly thought it was "back to work," which didn't make sense here. But then I remember for years telling my friends that I was the "dedicated driver" when we went out together. I finally learned the term was really "designated driver." But as a teetotaler, the first term was applicable even if wrong.

      videoclipits, good observation - I agree with you about Michael's passion. He definitely had passion and incredible skill or I wouldn't have watched him. He was a marvelous performer. Dorothy Aberle and I saw Lord of the Dance in Las Vegas over ten years ago. The male lead dancing Michael's role just didn't have the same confidence and charisma. So it was a really good show, just not awesome. We still enjoyed it despite the minor let down.

After seeing this, I wanted to take my mom to see Lord Of The Dance when the troupe came around, but then learned that Michael Flatley was no longer with the troupe. So sadly I never saw them live. BUT I did have a surprise for my mom when I got married as I hired an Irish Dance troupe for my wedding :). No it wasn't a professional troupe as I hired them from a local dance studio, but they did an excellent job and I got to see my live Riverdance show.

      And Chandler was right. His legs DO flail about as if independent from his body.

    Michael you are a genius. There is no one like you. I saw you in 1998 in Baltimore, MD. Lord of the Dance .I got to meet you and some of the other dancers outside. You were very kind. I know you have had a bad time of it with your health. My heart goes out to you and your family. Hold on to your amateurs soul, the love of it.,That will get you through. ❤
