Away from the cruise posts for a change. I will finish them off soon. Last night I went with Denise and my brother Martin and his wife Mandy to see the brilliant show Riverdance in Cardiff's St. Davids Hall. We had bought the tickets for my brother and his wife for Christmas.
We were treated to an amazing display of dance of several kinds not just Irish dance. For the one person in the world who might have seen this type of dance, here is a YouTube video to get some idea of the type of evening we had.
The hall was just about packed. It holds 1800 people and there must have been at least 1500 there.Some of the dance was slow and with haunting music, and then they broke into the hard fast Irish Riverdance style that is known the world over.
Much of the evening was that style with a superb dancing with feet moving so fast you could not catch up with them.
Then there was Cossack style, Flamenco style, and a good old fashioned brilliant American loose tap dance with two black guys who could only be described as dance geniuses. They had a 'dance off' against the Irish style dancers and it was probably the finest display of tap I will ever be privileged to see.
All in all a fantastic night, and they got a well deserved standing ovation at the end.
