The Riverdance Irish Dance Troupe
Many of the members of the Riverdance Irish Dance Troupe are world-class Irish dancers. They hail mostly from Ireland, but also from Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia. Between them the dancers can boast of literally hundreds of championships won in Ireland and abroad. Most started dancing at 3 or 4 years of age at local dance schools and progressed to world championship level before being chosen to perform in Riverdance - the Show.

The dancers would have known and competed against each other at various competitions, including the world championships. Riverdance - the Show has given them the opportunity to perform together for the first time in a non-competitive way. The grace and eloquence of their soft-shoe dance and the power and precision of their hard-shoe routines, clearly display the endless hours of practice and their dedication to the art of Irish Dance.
