I think they are fantastic. If I were their age I would take up Irish dancing.. These old bones would not take it.

this is all amazing...I guess Riverdance was inspirational for the all these young people.Michael Flatley and his original partner..her name I cannot recall..were so talented and took Irish dancing to another level...my only issue is with the girl's dresses,and those phoney curls...it detracts from their authenticity...and it's never good to do that...
