I am going to see Riverdance soon, how can I meet the cast?
The best way to meet Riverdance cast members is to go to the stage door at the end of the show. You'll often get to meet members of the Riverdance cast as they exit after the show, though this is not guarenteed. Riverdance does not give out backstage passes.
How long will The Show last?
Approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes (that's including the interval) for all Riverdance shows.
Where can I meet fellow Riverdance fans online?
Check out Riverdance on Facebook to chat with fellow fans about Riverdance.
How many Riverdance troupes are there and where are they touring?
Currently there is one Riverdance production touring in North America (the Boyne) with a second production playing Ireland each summer (the Foyle).
A third company (the Corrib) tours Europe including the U.K. and a fourth company (the Bann) is currently touring China and Korea. Visit Riverdance The Companies for full cast information.
What do the names of the different troupes mean?
Each Riverdance production, Boyne, Corrib, Foyle and Bann is named after a river in Ireland.
Previously there have been Riverdance companies named after the rivers Liffey, Lee, Lagan, Avoca and Shannon.

How do I become a dancer in Riverdance?
A few things for potential Riverdancers to keep in mind!
1. They must be at least 16 years of age and at championship level in Irish Dancing, preferably having recalled and/or placed at world level.
2. Please send a one page CV/Resume listing:
name, address and contact details (including e-mail address),
nationality,
date of birth,
height,
schools including your Irish dance schools,
summary of most notable competition achievements,
any show experience you may have.
3. Enclose a recent full-length photograph and headshot.
4. Please supply a DVD or video.
Footage of you doing the following is required:
Hard shoe - Jig and/or Hornpipe - at least 32 bars (2 steps, right and left). No more that 48 bars required.
Soft shoe - Reel for boys & Reel and/or Slip Jig for girls. 32 bars is adequate.
You may also include a Treble Reel if you want.
Additionally, if there is a piece from a professional Irish dance show that you would like to add, then please feel happy to do so. Such a piece does not necessarily increase the applicant's chances of success. DVD's that do not contain the required dances specified above will not be considered.
A few tips for your recording:
The camera work should be simple. Get someone who is good with cameras and has got a steady hand. The main thing is that all of the dancer is fully in view at all times. Make sure that both the rhythm of the feet and also the music can be heard, and that one does not drown out the other. Use of a digital (stills) camera that has the ability to capture small amounts of video, should be avoided as the number of frames per second are too few to accurately assess the dance.
We accept both Coimisiun and Comdhail dancers.
