The Riverdance Flying Squad was invited to perform at a gala fundraising evening for 900 guests in aid of several children's charities. The theme chosen for the gala evening was 'An Evening on the Emerald Isle'. The Flying Squad performed an 18-minute programme, featuring Thunderstorm, Firedance, Slow Air and Tunes, Riverdance and Finale.

The event was held in the Chantilly Ballroom of the Wyndham Anatole Hotel in Dallas, where the stage area was limited. The Flying Squad overcame this by adapting to the size and adjusting blocking and choreography during rehearsal time.

The cast and crew flew to Dallas the day before the event, spending six hours on the day preparing for the evening's performance. For the casting of this event the Riverdance Flying Squad called upon performers based in the US and Canada.

 
     

"Riverdance provided an evening of excitement and high level entertainment that will long be remembered by those who attended the 2001 Crystal Charity Ball in Dallas."

Nancy Chapman
2001 Crystal Charity Ball Chairman
