I'm afraid I didn't particularly enjoy it. Once you've seen one of his preformances, you've seen them all (IMHO I hasten to add!).

I didn't really enjoy it...technically it was good but there's just something so creepy about it, I don't know what it is.

Glad others got something out of it, though

Yes I just find Flatley off-putting now. I loved him when the idea first came out & even went to see "it" & had the video back in the day. I honestly can't remember the name of the original show not feet of flames the one before it (I gave the video away when we got a DVD player).
I just find him too smug & the concept a bit out-dated. I have to confess I fast forwarded it, as it went on too long & imo was a tad boring.

Lord of the Dance was his first show/video after leaving Riverdance to set up on his own.
That show had beautiful music, and I bought the video too, as I loved some of the tunes (the British Ice Dance Champions used it in their Freedance at the 1997 World Championships where I first heard it).

But totally agree, it's now so passe, especially that Military theme he did on DWTS.
As a Folk Dance of Ireland I'm sure it's still very relevant and beautiful, if done traditionally, when I've seen it danced years ago by little girls in their pretty dresses at a Feish.

I did the same after watching the first minute of the routine. It was very boring.

I didn't think it one of his best routines, but this time last year he was in hospital and told there was probably no possibility of him dancing again.... I just thought it was nice to see he had fought his way back. Think he does more choreography than dancing now..... apart from his illness, it's that "age" thing!!!

Oh dear, what was wrong with him?

Glad he's healthy again.

Some sort of immune virus, apparently, and no-one knows exactly what. I'm glad he's bettter, though

Gosh, that kind of thing can be very debilitating physically, so well done to him for making a recovery, and being well enough to dance again.
