Not Ballroom, but who cares?

Great news for all the Irish dance fans; The Lord of the Dance, Michael Flatley, will return for a victory lap tour in Europe this year featuring his mastermind program Lord of the Dance. He retired as Lord of the Dance in 1998 after illness forced him to retire his dancing shoes for a temporary time.

Flatley said that he is excited to return as Lord of the Dance. "This tour is like a victory lap and is mainly for fans who have been supporting me from the beginning."

Flatley, a boxer from Chicago, started Riverdance in the mid '90s and rapidly rose to popularity and fame a few years after his initial performance. After the popularity of Riverdance, Flately created Feet of Fire and Celtic Tiger shows with more dancers and more theatrics. However, his Feet of Fire performances were such a major success that they forced him to take his tour worldwide. He has performed for more than 60 million people in more than 60 different countries.
