Discover the meaning and motivation of each "Riverdance" scene, its music and choreography.

It’s been 15 years since "Riverdance" first stomped its way onto the world stage, thrilling millions of people around the globe. They have now been seen live by more than 22 million people in more than 10,000 performances in 350 cities in 40 countries over four continents. The show has lost none of its magic.

In December 2009, "Riverdance" embarked on a 12-city tour of China, a first for any international show. A celebration of Irish dance and culture, "Riverdance" enthralled the Chinese audience and continues to amaze with their sophistication and vibrancy.
