I watched this on TV as a young dancer, and was completely mesmerized by this woman. Her presence, power, and clarity in this performance was, and still is one of the most exquisite performances I have ever seen
I saw Maria Pages perform - back in Madrid in 2004 - I was studying at a University in Madrid... Someone said once that when Maria Pages enters the room - the air is never the same and the axis tilts just a bit - I believe that - she is amazing!!!
This is a time where you CAN catch true beauty, artistry, and graceful movements with her (then) counter-partner. Michael Flatley.......Bravo and Brava.
I was obsessed with riverdance than lord of the dance than feet of flames I saw all the shows in radio city and msg. Man the 90s what a time to grow up in
I love this dance especially with Michael flatley comes in and he walks around her and gives her that wink that says I got you baby let's do this and they stroll..😍😍
Maria you are simply electrifying. Your presence, your energy and Your passion. Your movements are full of expression. The music is also fantastic. I have seen the many many times. Never get tired.
I love that she is still performing, teaching and creating. Watched a little of one of her performances with her company. It’s amazing to see flamenco evolve just as much as Irish dance has. Hope to go to España myself someday- to Sevilla of course and marvel at the greats there.
Just come across this, I remember watching this particular scene so many years ago, still an absolute joy to watch again!!! UA-cam is a great way to relive old memories..........
I'm currently sick and have been watching this video over and over. She is incredibly talented and beautiful and I hope to be able to tell her that one day.
I used to watch this ALL THE TIME ON REPEAT on VHS and this was my favorite dance (right after the Russian Dervish) I still can't believe how amazing Maria is I've seen other Flamenco dances and none compare to her I agree that Flatley kinda butchered it with his tip-toe dancing since this is a very "heavy footed" dance but at least he actually tried to do something else (and kept his damn shirt closed lol) FYI I STILL have that original VHS tape of this from my childhood 😁
15+whatever years later....still tear up....kinda weird phrase when ya think about it, tear up....shouldn't tears go down and yes im filling time so i can compose myself, shuttingup
Very beautiful and super dance to this flamenco woman dancer.Her hands move very smooth and powerful at the same time with perfect timing leg stomping.That is more likely and lovely flamenco performance.
I just found out that these Heritages are me. ....a TINY bit Spanish....but it's there....and I always felt it. I went to Ireland.....cannot "relate". THIS ....Flamenco....feels "like home" to me.
Her steps are stronger than his, but they compliment ech other perfectly. The fire and passion they have together.
Dancing " Michael and Maria " interesting and amazing.
Dance code ......
Beautiful.

My grandfather absolutely loved watching her dance. He had the biggest crush lol. This was his favorite dance of the entire show.

This is one of the most sensual dances ever danced.
Im telling my kids this is the original dance of fire and ice
All I have to say is, she's a living, dancing rose! It's beyond beautiful what she does. He's hyper-talented, too, of course!
Love the wink from Michael! Fantastic duo.... dancing soulmates!
They were just so darn aexy. The chemistry was explosive.
I love this dance especially with Michael flatley comes in and he walks around her and gives her that wink that says I got you baby let's do this and they stroll..😍😍

Had the pleasure to see this cast of Riverdance when they first hit USA. It introduced me to a whole new world of emotions through dance.

Love Riverdance. Maria Pages was so talented. I pray that she had a wonderful happy life...I'm so glad she can watch this and know she was the best.
Walter The Musician - what do you mean was? She still IS...
She is still amazing ant going strong! Just saw her today in her latest show ua-cam.com/video/xCiCBRrFXgY/v-deo.html INCREDIBLY powerful
I love that she is still performing, teaching and creating. Watched a little of one of her performances with her company. It’s amazing to see flamenco evolve just as much as Irish dance has. Hope to go to España myself someday- to Sevilla of course and marvel at the greats there.
@@Mrnickstr89 Just received this comment! That would be wonderful to see her in person!
@@CJCappella Just got your comment. I didn't know! I'm so glad. Riverdance isn't the same without her.
All these years later and I still feel the same watching this as I did the first time. Absolutely speechless.
Still so powerful and moving to the spirit, even after all these years
Just come across this, I remember watching this particular scene so many years ago, still an absolute joy to watch again!!! UA-cam is a great way to relive old memories..........
The Spanish dancer was amazing...
I'm currently sick and have been watching this video over and over. She is incredibly talented and beautiful and I hope to be able to tell her that one day.
Seen her dance in Belfast in the 1990s. Amazing talent.
