Riverdance Reel Around the Sun Comparison

Today is the 25th Anniversary of Riverdance, an Irish tap dancing show that premiered in Dublin. In honor of that moment, I am showing you this fan video containing four different versions of the Reel Around the Sun segment of the shows while the music of the same name without taps plays. Dublin 1995 premiere on the top left, New York 1996 top right, Geneva 2002 bottom left, and Beijing 2010 bottom right.
There is a little issue with the Dublin premiere video, so I edited that part. That left it a little off timing with the music.
Happy Anniversary, Riverdance.

All the Male lead dancers bring something individually unique, and are all extremely talented individuals. You cannot expect them to be identical to Micheal Flatley. I am always blown away, this form of dancing is incredibly difficult, they must be very fit. 🙂💜👌

Colin Dunn & Jean Butler performances were always my favourite.

From the classics to the new millennial, it's still got the moves, I grew up with them, and I'm inspired as an African American to join the Irish Dance troupe, maybe take lead dancing for the 30th anniversary

Colin Dunne is the best! Hands down, no contest!

I appreciate using the instrumental soundtrack, 4 layers of tapping would be too much on headphones! Also, poor Beijing really had to make do with a tighter stage space, the camera can only zoom out so far!

My favorite: Michael Flatley.
The best: Colin Dunne.
