Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance: Warriors -- the Supercut
How about another #LordOfTheDance supercut? This time, we’re going to the dark side with Warriors!
Warriors is actually a major turning point, not only for the show but for commercial #IrishDance shows as a genre. Recall the very first time you saw Lord of the Dance: the first three numbers of the show are all feel-good, with a rousing opening, a gentle song, and a beautiful slip jig. So far, everything is nice and happy.
And then Don Dorcha shows up.
For the first time in a commercial Irish dance show, you’re seeing *negative* emotions portrayed via Irish dancing. It is as much of a shock as the first time you see Darth Vader in Star Wars. As the number progresses, you’re introduced first to the villain, and then to his clan: the Warriors. The realization hits you that this is *very* different from Michael’s first show -- something far more wild and intense.
Warriors is where the genius of Michael Flatley as a dramatist and choreographer really shines through.
