I am an Irish girl and all the lovely comments about Ireland warm my heart, we are a small little nation but a proud one and riverdance is one of our glorious exports🙌❤
I'm, 20 years in Ireland from Latvia, and Riverdance is the most amazing performance in WHOLE WORLD for me - I always get so touched!
Ireland is one of the places I would love to visit one day. My family originated from there back in the late 1600's. I would move there if I weren't from Texas. 🙂
@robert aroyo and..? What are you going to do about it now??
guinness would be your most important export, princess >;-)

I was there for this and the last few minutes at the end, where they’re all dancing in unison, including all the dancers off stage (they went the whole way around the perimeter of the stadium ground), made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. The pounding of their tap shoes hitting the ground at the same time is so loud, you can feel it in your chest. Absolutely amazing. I’ll never forget it.

You lucky bar steward!!!
@@antonystringfellow5152 😂 Thank you!
Lucky bar steward!!!
I love watching it on a screen... I can't imagine the electricity if you're actually there. Sounds great.
I'm not Irish. Not even close. And yet I am tearing up! Just the swelling of the music, the tap of their feet, the joy on their faces, the crowds response, all the little kids, it just all got me!
I'm not even remotely Irish but this performance is hair-raising and brings tears to my eyes...proud of them...
Aw thanks! Do u mind me asking where you're from?
Blair Waldorf From the Philippines.
Ralph Anthony C. Basco wow!! Philippines looks beautiful
Same. Can you imagine how awesome it must feel for those dancers to perform for the Pope?
Might not believe this but I actually was one of the Irish dancers performing on the side line near the end ! I know it sounds like a lie but it is true I danced for team Bradley search it up
The Irish should be very proud of their culture. River dance gives me the chills I love it! 🎉
It's amazing what one small island has given the world; an Irish dance and Irish music phenomenon that is dearly loved worldwide. And it all started in The Point in 1994 as an interval act to Eurovision. Proud to be Irish and honoured to say that I come from the land of Riverdance.
Not to mention Guiness! haha...

@@mariaparker7545 And Terry Wogan (God rest his soul). What more could you want.
Celtic music/culture is amazing and so under appreciated when compared to other European cultures in my opinion.
Unfortunately it’s just the couthy and touristy stuff that gets most of the attention.
FANTASTIC AND UNCOMPARABLE. YESSS!!! RUSSIANS AND ARHENTINA HAVE ALSO FANTASTIC MUSIC AND DANCE --- BUT NOT LIKE THAT. AFTER SURVIVING HORIBLE HOLOCAUST COMMITED FOR MANY YEARS ON IRISH NATION THEY COME BACK TO INCREDIBLE DANCING AND MUSIC PERFORMANCE. KELTIK PEOPLE, DO EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO SURVIVE ENGLISH PERVERTED MONSTERS!
@@kozjevime1 - Thanks for your appreciation!
I love it ...
I wouldn't say underrated tbh, it's quite widespread and commercialized at this point. I just wish Ireland were doing as well as a country as it is as a brand name - same for all of Europe in these tumultuous days.
I'm not Irish, but English living in Australia. I have seen Riverdance three times in Adelaide and it never gets old.
Brother despite the weight of history we have so much in common. I love English folk music especially cornish music. So many great folk festivals in England especially in places like Bath and even Cambridge. I lived in London for many years and experienced nothing but kindness from English people and made some amazing friends there. Ive always considered England my second home. My granny was from the west country and I'm very proud of my English blood.
Amy Mae Dolan has the most enviable hair! She’s an incredible dancer as well and seems like an absolute sweetheart
And such a generous smile!
TheAngryGoblin She’s really sweet and super humble
She is from Tyrone after alll
She has a great CZcams channel. It's about dancing, health, fitness, etc.
I’m Palestinian majority of my family are redheads and I love when people ask if we are Irish take it as a compliment. I love my Irish brothers and sister! Palestinian by blood Irish by heart! 🇵🇸♥️🇮🇪
We love palestine as well 🇮🇪🇵🇸
@@eyan4329 This is so warming to hear! ♥️♥️♥️
@@milahasan4276 Ireland is the most pro Palestine country in Europe
Milla I'm irish and we love Palestine too 💚💚
@@jasonwalsh4289 yep love Palestine 🇵🇸💚
As an American of Irish descent on my grandmothers and fathers side, I am proud of my Irish heritage.
WOW! I'm an American, but moved almost to tears by such beautiful show. Dancers almost flying! It's gorgeous! Even Pope looked as if in awe! Good work, guys!
The original leading dancers, Gene Butler and Michael Flatley, were Americans with Irish heritage.
Having toured around Ireland, The Irish can teach the world Hospitality , and friendliness, The River dance performers are truly Amazing ,stamina, incredible music, skill and very vibrant, I can never tire watching and hearing it all. Long may they and others in their footsteps continue. LOVE it.
after such strife for many years to see your culture displayed so proudly makes me proud to be of Irish descent
I am a Irish boy and when I get older I want to join riverdance
my heart almost burst when i saw the kids lined up dancing as well I love the Irish greetings from a fellow Guatemalan hoping to learn this amazing dance one day!
First of all I would like to remind you I’m publishing this video on events from the Life of St John Bosco once a week, on the weekend. You can post comments, express ideas, put questions and ask for prayers. My purpose in publishing these videos is not only to narrate in detail episodes from the splendid life of Don Bosco, but also to help you grow closer to God, to arrive at a perfect love of God. Remember that if we depart from this world with a perfect love of God, we go straight to heaven. This is possible by God’s grace
The Riverdancers, including the younger dancers, their music, beautiful voices and their gorgeous smiles, makes what world peace and unity should be all about. They've made the great country of Ireland, it's wonderful people and the world proud and will go down in history as doing so. You've blessed the world Ireland with your music and talented dancers. Thank you Ireland from an American.
I loved seeing all the kids at the end dancing away next to the older ones. And Amy Mae Dolan brings so much joy to the performance! Pure toe-tapping enjoyment.
I was there, and when all the youg dancers got up, there was just a cacophony of noise-Truly hair-raising
From everybody in Scotland, well done, you did your country proud. An amazing performance!
The little redhead is stunning! I love to see this kind of dancing, and had a wonderful trip to Ireland many years ago.
Shes called amymae dolan!!
Wow! It has been 20 years since I saw Riverdance in person starring Michael Flatley. The music and dance is just as magical now as it was then. Brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful!
I love how when they jump when dancing they float like a cloud just the second there off the ground.
I am obsessed with tap dance videos now. Why wasn't I born Irish. The joy I see in their eyes from this dance is incredible, it's like no stress, just fun!
Fabulous, fabulous, and extraordinary!!! These Irish dancers are absolutely incredible and outstanding and so wonderful to watch, over and over again! A great thing to do for the Pope, Popes Francis! Thank you to any and all that participated and helped make this CZcams video!
Wow!! She is absolutely gorgeous her beautiful auburn/ginger hair 😍 so elegant all of the dancers! Amazing! 💕 🇮🇪
I love Riverdance and the pope but I really came here to say I visited Ireland in September 2018 and love the scenery and love the people even more. Everyone was so personable, friendly and cheerful including in Dublin, Cashel, Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher, and even in NI at the Giants Causeway and in Budapest. I love Ireland 🇮🇪 and the Irish 🍀 ❣️
If u ever come agin make sure to come to cork !!
I cried. I just miss tap dancing so much. Seeing their joy on the stage, just made me remember how alive I felt while dancing. Thank you Riverdance 💜
I am a grown-up guy. But the grandness of this makes me cry. Why?
Because they lied to you, men do have tear sacs. And they work perfectly fine.
Same 😅
A dose of Riverdance per day keeps the spirit Irish!
Yesss! I love this dance! I’m not Irish but I am Irish by heart 🇵🇸♥️🇮🇪
Im from cork, so proud to be irish
Danke vielen dank,,,,,,,,ich wünschte mir das man mehr von den Tänzer hören würde💃
Wow! What quicksilver nimble feet! Simply stunning to watch the energy, sunny smiles, and incredible footwork of these Irish dancers. Such joy they bring! My feet were tapping just as fast under my desk. Loved it!!!
I recently found out that I have Irish ancestry. I suspected it for a long time. This was a really moving performance. I feel very proud of my Irish ancestry.
Be Well,
DZ
So nice to read such wonderful comments about ireland and our music and dance and culture. Thank you.
I am from Albania and i leave in Italy but this dance Is so Amazing . Music Is so magic because we can be together and why we are from different country .
We, Spaniards, feel a special sympathy towards Irish people and their folklore, music and traditional dance are jewels, emeralds. Saint Patrick bless Éyre.
have seen this choreography many times but never with children included. Even more amazing!
I'm not religious and I'm really not fond of Catholicism but I've watched this video more times than I can remember and it moves me so much, every time I see it!
I love Ireland and I love the people of Ireland.
This video does more to explain why, more than any words I could put together.
Thank you Ireland... keep it up!!!
I am from Chicago, and we are proud of what Michael Flately brought to the entire world.
Absolutely amazing. I remember watching the 1994 Eurovision song contest performance when I was 7. Amazing that this show is still going and can get people excited and fired up 25 years later. Keep on dancing you amazing people.
Katie McMahon, the soprano soloist for the Eurovision interval (and the 1995 and 96 tours) is a good family friend!
So moving when they dance. It makes me miss going to classes. The Pope seemed so mesmerized & enjoying the dance. We come from simple means & you just dance to the music.
My supervisor saw the original Riverdance in NYC. I saw on tv and internet. So beautiful.
Such a powerful dance, I absolutely love this (I've tapped since I was a child but haven't done Irish dancing). There is something so magical, soulful and powerful about this song and dance combo!
Dance across the Emerald Isles, and feel the Heart of Ireland 🇮🇪 ☘️
I can't imagine what a thrill it would be to perform for His Holiness.
As a Catholic and a Riverdance fan, this gave me such chills, I was almost in tears.
You can see Pope Francis was very impressed!
Me too I remember the priest hitting us with a ruler stuck for dancing provocatively like this.

m3rrys0ngstr3ss Almost!!! Tears were streaming down my face Such Magic
There's no a small country actually now then Ireland but the huge heritage history let to her is enormously unprecedented.
Was and will be for ever in the history remember like the best of highlanders♥️
I love the inclusion of all the young dancers!
I hope you've seen them all on the bridge in the longest Riverdance. Fun & Happy...
How many dancers did they have in total??? Wow! I'm so glad to see so many kids learning and loving this dancing. If I'd seen this when I was young, I'd have sooooooo wanted to learn!
I KNOW PEOPLE THAT WERE DANCING THERE IN CROKE PARK WHEN THE POPE WAS HERE ,
I cannot bear seeing kids ruining it. They can rarely keep up and they're a distraction.
yeah theres nothing like the next generation of indoctrinated people in any way ,to excuse this horrible ugly cult..and the adults who make it happen.
To think this dancing was formed originally to abide to the rules of the Church is spine tingling. Now, hundreds of years later, seeing His Holiness taking such delight in it is simply wonderful. Pope Francis always touches the heart.
This dance always gives me thousands of goosebumps. This is just beyond...
精彩至極，非親眼目睹難以置信真的是
大開眼界。百看不厭。多謝您的美意。
I can't listen to barely ten seconds of traditional Irish Music..
Before my Irish blood kicks in, and I get tears in my Eyes..
And the Hairs on the back of my Neck stand up..
;)
the lead dancer is the most beautiful girl I think I've ever seen in my life!!! such a beautiful country!!
Kathleen Spence her name is amymae Dolan! She has a CZcams channel now! she’s also my cousin 😂
@@rhainnecoyle9453 Awesome! I watched the Our Lives thing on BBC, Amy-Mae is a fantastic dancer! You must be so proud :D
Rhainne Coyle I watched your cousin on BBC tonight she’s a brilliant danced and she’s stunningly beautiful my grand daughters are Irish dancers aged 15 and 13 and their whole dance academy where watching Amy Mae tonight

Amymae Dolan
Literally burstin' in tears, as I see nothing but pure happiness on the dancers' faces during last minute

Arttu Kangas you can’t tell me that isn’t a god given talent to dance like that ! Erin go bragh !!

This performance brought tears to my eyes. Bravo 👏🏽
Bloody amazing. Greetings from Canada
I’m convinced Ireland is just a fairytale story land that somehow ended up in our universe and I’m of Irish descent.
Ssshhh don't tell everyone our secret.... 🤨

@WeAreTheResistance We Are The Resistance do you live in Ireland cause I do

Wonderful performance congratulations to all brilliant Irish dancers 🙏excellent photography 👌👌👌
Absolutely love the Irish and their Riverdance...it is a timeless treasure of perfect beauty...
@clinton diabolicus !
Clinton Conlan Riverdance only began in 1994 ,its important not to confuse RIVERDANCE the show with irish step dancing which is hundreds of years old.Riverdance is an irish stepdancing show,but its only a show,not the entirety of the tradition or a synomyn for irish step dance
@@galoglaich3281 Thank you, kindly, for clarifying the difference...much appreciated.
Oh my god ! So fantastic. Les irlandais peuvent être fiers de leurs traditions. J'adore. Vive l'Irlande !
My Mom's first cousin was Irish Step Dancing Champ one year in 1930's. Even in his late 70's he could still out dance the rest of us he was amazing.
I am a Hungarian,and it is so nice to see that you are very proud of your country! Love
Beautiful Nation Ireland
Ever Green.
The Music, The Dancers, Celtics traditions, Amazing. ☘️🇮🇪
Fabulous!!! Impossible to not experience an increasing level of joy while watching and listening to such a performance as the energy levels rise, leaving one with a feeling of an aerobic exercise of the heart! 💫🌟❣
love you all ❤, but you can't replace Michael and Jean, I cried each time I watch them.
Everybody should have an Irish grandmother........ we do. Marvelous stuff!
GODDESS THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER SEEN!,...i cant stop crying, i really hope the GREAT IRELAND never change his beauty
The original Riverdance suite from the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest by Bill Whelan! As amazing today as it was then! And the dancing and showmanship is awesome too.
Im irish born in england and were proud of our famlies our country and our people and we have joy im our hearts andca greatvspirit thst is in evefything we do
In my opinion Bobby and Amy will always be my favourite leading dancers!!
So beautiful , so elegant incredible dancers , beautiful Ireland Greetings from France
That red hair with that green dress 😍 omg
Wow, wow, wow!! This looks like so much fun. Hard, but really fun! Amazing job!!
The little girl of irish heritage living in england will Always want to be Jene butler! Always! I'm 32 now and no matter how old I get she was my hero growing up I always felt connected to my routes even though I was so far from them....riverdance gave me a way to be part of my culture although I was away from it the joy I feel to this day watching dancers using Jene and michaels choreography always inspires me and hopefully a world of younger dancers coming up when in your heart you can even recognize the dance their doing purely from the sound of their feet without even looking....you know they made an impact on your soul 💜
How very cool! Thank you for sharing and bless everyone
The irish folk Music and stepdance are my favorit culture.
I'm german and mostly i sing irish Songs.
As a former student of American tap dancing, I LOVE your Rhythms, especially when you all dance together! Marvelous performances!
When I saw Riverdance, those two were the leads and they were FANTASTIC! The chemistry between them is incredibl. Such talented dancers.
This is one of the most epic performances I have ever seen ❤
That male lead is the best I've seen so far. Such good posture....and he also makes the legwork seem so effortless
@Blasphy B What's his name?
@Blasphy B Indeed he is a pretty good dancer. And reasonably handsome. At least he is not ugly like you.
@@summertummer2394 Bobby Hodges is the male lead
They are probably the best leads I have seen so far. They both worked so well together.
Ya hes pretty good but micheal flatley was better his shows were different somehow
I still remember watching the VHS, spellbound, as a seven year old girl.
I saw Riverdance in Louisville Kentucky a few years back. Totally Amazing 🥰
Amazing, 8 minutes of pure magic. This brings out the Irish in everyone
Liam Holton b7
Liam Holton it does me that’s for sure proud fourth generation Irish Aussie lass that I am !! Still have family there too !!
Amen to that
Michelle Flood I’m forth generation Irish decent too.🍀
It lasts less than 5 minutes...
Stunning redhead Irish beauty. Beautiful to watch!
Absolutely Magnificent..Fantastic!..Reminded me of Michael Flatly..Beautiful Blessings to All
OMG, this is great and very spiritual dance! Dignified, Beautiful, and Godly!
not even Irish and yet I'm so proud of them
Can you imagine what it was like for us
but nothing to say about a man who covers for pedophiles and the insane wealth of the church ?? disgusting, DISGUSTING !
Pope Francis is the man.
Jesus all the Way.
🙏🇮🇪
This is such a wonderful high energy group, the joy of the dance is infectious. Bravo!!
Chip
I'm an American with Irish and Scottish ancestry and love this. It awakens my Celtic bloodline to get up and dance with this beautiful group!!🇮🇪🏴
One thing I love seeing about more recent Riverdance footage is how many more men there are dancing these days. Back in 1995 there were hardly any guys and now it's nearly pretty much 1for1 ratio and I think that's great.
Being a ryan i understand warrior of blood from oz
This new lead is incredibly handsome.
The new lead is the 10 Time World Irish Dance Champion, Bobby Hodges!
Risotto Nero luv the red head
Oh abssssolutely
I might have to watch a few more times, purely for research purposes...
Seriously gave me goosebumps!!!! So good!!!!!
I saw Riverdance in london over 20 years ago. I’ve seen many times since and it reduces me to tears every time ❤️
Why do the Irish always, always manage not to just survive but find joy?
From what I've seen, a few things but mostly related to how Irish relate to their society... In many cultures when things go wrong, people take care of themselves. In Irish culture, when things go wrong, people embrace each other and pull together - watch out for each other. I saw statistics showed that even in the recent financial crisis when Irish people had much less and were very worried about finances, the Irish were still the most charitable people in Europe. And Irish have such a sad history they don't expect too much - appreciate the simple things, like friends telling a good story, singing a song, etc. And Irish are also statistically the most equal society in Europe - and people don't like to show off to each other - people get ridiculed if they act like a big shot - and the country is too small you don't want to get a bad reputation. People keep humble. Culturally, you also know someone really likes you when he insults you - and the best thing you can do is agree and laugh at yourself. That bonds people. I find it amazing just arriving at the Dublin airport, the warm welcome - the sense of humour, the genuine interest in stranger, etc...
Because they’re pissed
Blasphy B
What have the Jews done now. 😂
Because we were catholics and still have it in our culture.
Because it's the luck of the Irish, to be sure, to be sure ....
Extraordinary and beautiful dance .. what a great and moving performance
Absolutely brilliant dancer very talented and such a nice song I’m a massive fan of Irish music
Awesome,...went to see River Dance when they came to Australia with my parents in the 1990's as we have Irish blood and what an incredible show, fantastic!
My Nan's name was Noreen Catherine Teresa O'Rourke born on St Patrick's Day you can't get anymore Irish than that lol! And she didn't mind a few drinks either 🤣
Lived to the age of 94, one of my hero's what a legend! Love you Nan 😥
One hundred thousand thanks for your brilliant celebration! I'm thrilled Pope Francis witnessed your Irish spirit!
