Dancing has never been my forte. For me, just being able to sway to the beat could be considered an accomplishment. So naturally, I’m amazed by anyone who can not only dance, but is so good they can entertain other people!

With that in mind, the Durham Performing Arts Center’s Lord of the Dance created by Michael Flatley is poised to blow everyone away, even if you’re not a good dancer yourself. Lord of the Dance brings together all of the Irish dance, music and folklore that made Flatley so famous for Riverdance — which we all know and love.

But don’t take my word for it, you can check out a clip for yourself:

As you can see, the LOTD performance is just as action packed and has the same non-stop energy you’d expect from a Flatley production. How can you not want to check that out? It’s a totally different experience in person! There’s an explosive vivacity you can’t simply can’t find through a TV screen. You have to see it and, of course, in person you can feel it.

You can find all the info you need on how to see the show at DPAC’s Website. And enjoy the show!
