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!!!
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
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..😍😍
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 😁
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'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 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..........
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.
The fusion of Spanish and Irish music ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
27 years later and I am still fascinated by the grace and flexibility of her arms, Her hands! Never seen the like outside of a ballet. ♥️
Yes! Exactly.
I STILL LOVE THIS !!!!!!! (2024 JULY).

Profound, I love it!
Oh I absolutely bet it’s exactly like that. She still awes the living crap out of me all these years later. She is a force…an actual goddess. 🥺👏🏻🥰
I believe that the axis tilts when she performs, she is one of the best performers\ dancers i have seen in my whole life!👍❤️👍❤️
Here it is 2022 and I'm still loving this so much!
@@riverduck3 yes and Maria Page is still the only one! No replacements❤️❤️👍😎😎

Oh so true
Maria and Michael both have such a powerful presence, this is absolute fire! Never gets old
Still get a lump in the throat watching this.Love the music and of course the dancing which go so well together.
This is a time where you CAN catch true beauty, artistry, and graceful movements with her (then) counter-partner. Michael Flatley.......Bravo and Brava.
OUTSTANDING... that's all I have while wiping my tears away...
Her steps are stronger than his, but they compliment ech other perfectly. The fire and passion they have together.
España e Irlanda. Pueblos hermanos. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is one of the most sensual dances ever danced.
Best part of the show. She is so powerful.
My sentiment exactly
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

Maria Pages and Michael Flatley - what an electric combination ! Music and dance powerfully fused together in one extraordinary performance .

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

Não me canso de assistir! MARAVILHOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
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.
Seen her dance in Belfast in the 1990s. Amazing talent.
Love the wink from Michael! Fantastic duo.... dancing soulmates!
They were just so darn aexy. The chemistry was explosive.
The Spanish dancer was amazing...
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'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.
She is stunning
I watch this over and over ❤️
Still so powerful and moving to the spirit, even after all these years
I absolutely love Maria Page! What an incredible dancer and such a pleasant lady.
Hope life is treating her well.
Love and Passion 🔥💃🏻🕺🔥🌹🌹🌹
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.
Finde kaum Wörter zu schätzen! So toll tanzt sie!
I have watched the video hundreds of times. Never get tired. You are a phenomenon Maria
She’s a dancing poem. Years watching this video and I love it!
That wink at 3:43 gave me such a hard time, even as a kid!
the best fussion of two passion dances
I loved this show. I saw it in DC around 2007.
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..........

Oleee María preciosa la fusión de tu arte con la riverdance 😍💖
I saw the show live in 1995 and still and moved by this today
Captivating, never gets old!

Quelle présence!
MAGNIFIQUE
That wink was to say "you're totally stealing my show ;)"
truly beautiful
She was so powerful and beautiful dancer never get tired of watching and the wonderful music
She dances almost as well as the gypsies in Sevilla
Maria is passion and spirit.... And I love it!
Pages utilizes every possible axis that every single joint in her body is capable of...simultaneously...and then goes a bit beyond...
Utterly Captivating ❤
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.

Unfortunately, the sound is late in relation to the video. It's especially noticeable at 3:33 when Flatley starts dancing.
BeachBumRAP Here’s a version with the sound in proper synch
