It was some 25 years ago that the Irish dance phenomenon known as “Riverdance” stormed the country. Beginning in March, the show returns with new dancers and a new tour. The music for the show has been re-recorded and the show itself has been re-imagined to bring fans a whole new experience.
One of those dancers is Morgan Bullock who caught the Irish dancing bug when she was 10 years old. Morgan will become the first female of colour to join “Riverdance”. Other dancers in the troupe include Amy-Mae Dolan, Will Bryant, Maggie Darlington, Anna Mai Fitzpatrick, Fergus Fitzpatrick, James Greenan, Meadhbh Kennedy, Brandon Asazawa, Belle Brenton, Kieran Bryant, Gerard Byrne, Keeva Correy, Matthew Gardiner, Michael Gardiner, Emma Mannion, Jordan McCormick, Faith Moore, Olivia Nactigal, Cian Porter, Dylan Scholls Zoe Talbot, Mairead Trainor, Elle-Mae Wheeler, Ana Turcan, Eugeniu Turcan, Christine Lesnikova Alexander Safonov, Tyler Knowlin, Dharmesh Patel, and Rocio Dumset.
“Riverdance” began their anniversary tour in 2020 but were shut down when the pandemic caused the world to shut down. The show returns in March for the North American portion of the tour.
