At my school in Texas, we're finished with State Testing (TAKS), so now it is time to really teach. We did around the world with all of our fourth grade classes (8 classes), with each class being a different country and the students rotating from class to class for 45 minutes. I picked Ireland for my room (duh) and the kids: (a) colored an Irish flag (b) learned a few simple words of Gaelic (c) learned some geography (d) watched some excerpts from A New Journey (which my class knows by heart  ) and (e) watched some excerpts from Lord of the Dance. They loved it!! They didn't move, or hardly breath they were so fascinated by it. I did hear though that they drove their teachers crazy the rest of the day trying to "tap" in class! Oh well. P.S. Did I forget to mention that I work in a Houston area inner city school. |

If he wasn't, you can bet he will have tap shoes on before he learns to walk.  |

Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.

My older brother said I am crazy for rediscovering Riverdance and Feet of Flames!
Of course I had to tell him that the Little Pixie was in Feet of Flames! He just gave me this weird "you are crazy" look!

My favorite edition of "River Dance" was the original when Jean Butler was dancing. That young lady simply floated across the stage, she was amazing.

"The Lord of the Dance" is a song that is sung during the Easter Season in many churches not just Catholic. At the University where I'm employed, the students attending (all in attendance) the Catholic services during this period, sing this song with a lot of feeling and spirit. It is not only one of their favorite songs, but mine as well.
The "Dance" is life and may we all live it well.

Makes me want to get in up in church and dance to it! Of course that wouldn't be awkward!

Celticfan:
The verison with Jean Butler has been on DVD. But it is currently not in production. I have seen copies listed on Amazon for over $40 and even higher on e-bay. I do wish they would put it back in production. If anyone knows of a less expensive sourse let us know. I believe the original was on PBS.

Thanks! I did see some of Riverdance on PBS whenever it was on. I was in the elementry school when I saw Riverdance for the first time! That was probably when it first came out. I wish PBS would show them just once more! They have also stopped showing CW ANJ! Which makes me sad!  |

The current Boyne Troupe of Riverdance is coming to Newport News VA May 25th & 26th.
Then the Wolf Trap June 14th to 17th.
They will also be in PA, OR, MA,CT, OH, WI, MI, and NY.
True to form, another romance has blossomed!
The dance captain and a member of the band will be getting married.
I hope they will be as happy as Lisa and Scott.
