The performances were so neat and tidy that they had the audience screaming with excitement; the dazzling lighting, the stunning costumes and choreography, the spectacular effects of the show earned a standing ovation from the packed audience; "Spirit of the Dance" was a masterpiece in the history of dance.

A dance that can be listened to

Tap dancing is an Irish speciality and the national treasure of Ireland. It combines artistic choreography, elegant music, beautiful singing and the breath-taking rhythms and amazing skills of the dancers.

A great tap dancer is also a great musician. In the early days of tap competitions, the judges even sat down on the stage not to watch the dancers, but to listen to the rhythm of their strikes. For a good tap dancer, no matter how fast the rhythm, how complex the steps or how soft the sound, it is all clear and clean.

A great team of performers
With nearly 300 performers aged 18 to 25 years old, working in various Spirit of Dance companies around the world, the company dazzles with its exhilarating effects and explosive expressions, using Irish dance as its essence. It is a skillful blend of traditional Irish style with flamenco, classical ballet, jazz and salsa, and with a cast of over 200 performers, many of whom have won Irish dance competitions and received rigorous professional dance training in Dublin and London, you will be captivated when you see the vitality and exhilarating spirit of the performers on stage. When they stand on stage, they are already fully engaged in their roles.

Under the direction of the Spirit of Dance Theatre Headquarters in London, there are more than six Spirit of Dance companies performing simultaneously in different parts of the world on any given night.
