Michael Flatley Career

From 1978-79 he toured with Green Fields of America, whose members included Liz Carroll, Father Charlie Coen, Jack Coen, Sean McGlynn, Mick Moloney and Bill Ochs, with a slightly less flamboyant Donny Golden dancing alongside Michael. Later he toured with The Chieftains in the 1980s.

He co-created the initial choreography for Riverdance and, with fellow lead dancer Jean Butler, led the show to great success as the intermission act in the Eurovision Song Contest on April 30, 1994. Flatley and Butler then starred in the full-length show that was developed from the original seven-minute act. After leaving the show over creative disagreements,Flatley produced, directed, and choreographed his own show, Lord of the Dance. Michael Flatley did not appear on Riverdance: Live from New York City, he was replaced by Colin Dunne.

In 1998, Flatley put together a dance production called Feet of Flames. He later went on to produce another version of the show of which around 50% of the numbers were different from that of the 1998 show. Still titled 'Feet of Flames', he toured the US in 2000 and 2001.

Flatley's current Irish dance show is Celtic Tiger, which opened in July 2005. The show explores the history of the Irish people and Irish emigration to the US, fusing a wide range of dance styles, including jazz. The show also includes popular elements from his previous shows, such as Flatley's flute solos and the line of dancers in the finale.
