give you specific advice.

WHAT
IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHOW DANCING AND TRADITIONAL IRISH
DANCING?
In
traditional Irish Dancing, the upper body remains straight and still
with the arms by your side. Show dancing is an accelerated version
of traditional dancing. It incorporates upper body and arm movements,
which express your feeling of the music and rhythm.
HOW
DID LORD OF THE DANCE BEGIN?
After
his departure from RIVERDANCE, MICHAEL FLATLEY decided to create his
own show, which he called LORD OF THE DANCE. He invited me to work
on his
new show with him - which was a brilliant experience for me.
