YMMV / Riverdance

• Ensemble Dark Horse: While it may be completely different in style from the rest of the traditional Irish dancing that made up the bulk of the show, Maria Pagés' astonishing flamenco solo 'Firedance' is considered one of the highlights of the entire show.
• Newer Than They Think: As mentioned, Riverdance was first shown in 1994. Many, many people believe it is some kind of really old traditional folk dance.
