Rocking Riverdance...

Girlfriends Matter.. that's the stamp Ginger is using right now but it's also my thoughts about last night. Lisa bought her mum and me tickets for Riverdance for our Christmas box. Last night we drove to Oxford to see the performance. I remember seeing something similar quite a few years ago in Birmingham. It was mesmerizing. Tonight there were moments of magic and a few moments of lack lustre. Riverdance is on it's farewell tour, whatever that means, and has moments when it's looking tired. At other times it's truly brilliant. The russian dancers were spectacular. The Riverdance Tappers in their tap-off with the Irish men were incredible. Both leads, Maria Buffini and Alan Kenefick were outstanding, particularly Kenefick. He has moves to die for! The Riverdance Tappers were the most entertaining of all the dancers. I could have spent an entire evening watching their seemingly impromptu tap-off and American funky rhythmic moves. They added a contemporary dance twist to the old Riverdance format which the audience absolutely loved. I'd certainly go and see anything with them in again.
