Anniversary of Rhythm of the Dance |

| 10th
BIRTHDAY |
 From
the creation of Rhythm of the Dance 10 years ago –
(initially the show was set up for a 3 week tour of
the United States in 1998) – it has toured consistently
internationally and is achieving greater critical
acclaim year after year. |
This
wonderful show continues to evolve thanks to the constant
striving for perfection by its Director/Producer,
choreographs and composer to keep the show fresh and
interesting so that audiences who attend performances
regularly will always find some new and exciting elements
within the programme. |
With
a wonderful, gifted young cast of dancers, musicians
and 3 Irish tenors, featuring live performances from
the entire troupe, this is a show that has won critical
acclaim across 4 continents of the world in 36 countries
to over 5 million fans. |

DOLLYWOOD,

A five week residency, performing 3 shows per day,
with full houses for the entire run in Dolly Parton’s
theme park was a great achievement for Rhythm of the
Dance. But the day that Dolly and Rhythm of the Dance
performed together to an invited audience of 1,000
media journalists was a most memorable event. Dolly
sang “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling” with
Rhythm of the Dance’s own 3 Irish tenors and
along with Rhythm’s cast of dancers Dolly performed
a rousing version of her own composition “We
Irish”. It brought the house down! |
