Michael Flatley introduced the World to his unique Style of Irish dance and the World continues to thank him.

No matter who Michael puts out front in the dance, I still see him in almost every move. I love that he is such a great artist and for what he has created. But, I even admire his more as well rounded human being who knows from where his blessings truly come from. I just enjoy listening to him talk, and the moment where he reveals another great aspect of his life. When the producers and money men that were backing River Dance tried to destroy him, he came back stronger and the world was and is better for it. Thank you Michael Flatley, for all the joy you have given me.

You speak my heart

This guy took traditional Irish dance to another level by including the passion of Spanish flamenco and his gestures as well as part of his clothing, he gave it more elegance and spectacularity.

......Michael Flatley was my locker partner at Brother Rice High School in Chicago, in 1975. He was a sophomore & I was a senior. He looked like a young Danny Bonaduce from The Partridge Family TV show. A thin young man with a solid personality. Who would have thought,.......... He came back to our school 2007 on his 30th Anniversary of his graduation. He was the star that night, especially when he gave the Computer Department a check for 100 Thousand dollars. Aren't memories great!

Not for him they weren't. Being bullied for liking dancing that wasn't cool! What's that all about eh? But as a true Gentleman he respected the school enough to bestow upon them a considerable amount of money.

To have just one more day with my dad, you and I both Michael, god bless you.

Someone once told me "he is a show-off", I just answered him "do what he does and did, then you can show off as wel" Of course on stage he is having his pride, his fun, ... but that's what we love about it, passionate people

I adore this guy !!! He is so .... He knows to stay "simple" then HE IS THE KING OF IRISH DANCE !!! It's wonderful...And a wonderful choregrapher and creater of spectacles !!! It's unbelievable...

Dear Michael Flately; thanks for all your passion and hard work. Genius of the dance. May you and your son and wife have a wonderful life; keep together. Be Well.

The dance speaks it own language. A master class. No words. Michael.

My heart feels warm when I watch this man dance and speak. Lord of the dance forever ❤️ ☘️

Michael is a gentleman besides his great talent. I am so glad because I could be at one of his wonderful show. Love him forever

It's strange to see someone else doing the main part in 'Warlords' instead of Michael. One of my fav parts of the shows all time. But, these young men are also fantastic. I love Michael, what an amazing human being. Great personality. And still damn pretty hot!

What a humble, thankful man. His remarks in this interview gave us a window into his soul. God bless.

Such a sweet and inspirational man. I could listen for hours to him! He is always leaving me with a better, and uplifted feeling ! And so do his dancers ! The energy, the Joy & passion for this show.. it's not really to put it in words. You just have to see and feel it Live 💖💖💖 Thank you so much for posting! Great interview 👍

unbelieveble, I was in Amsterdam in the on the day that Pim fortuyn was murded...that day we were 19 years married and a precent for my husband...great memory's....thank you for everything Michael Flatley and dansers XX

Want to know if Michael ever danced while in pain? As he talks, he told of damage dancing did to legs and back, so truly sorry this had to happen. But no one can ever take his place with the charisma he had. That was a big part of what made me come back to see more! The Chieftain’s were/are great. I did not know they worked with you. I first heard of them while Sissel Kyrkjebø from Norway sang with this group. And I’m proud to say my grandma was right off the boat from Ireland! Glad to see you again, Michael Flatley!❤️ 11/14/20

Michael... GOD bless you and bless your dad's soul ...

Boy he definitely got wealthy from that which he absolutely earned I mean I'm surprised he just not did not die from exhaustion or have a heart attack very strong-minded man physically mentally and every way in his Manor Mansion whatever oh is breathtakingly beautiful he just so so much earned it all he worked hard for that and may his retirement days be filled with nothing but happiness and joy and for him to enjoy that beautiful home with his family and his son God bless

Mickael Flatley un artiste magique phénoménal .On aimerait arrêter le temps pour le voir indéfiniment .Je rêvais de le voir sur scène mais quand je suis allée voir un de ces spectacles il n'y était pas .Un regret de ma vie .Kel homme fantastique .Merci pou tout ❤❤😻😻😻😻😻😻😻👍Domy

How can you not love this man..

MR FLATLEY SIGH...WHERE DO I BEGIN??! YOUR LEGACY WILL LIVE ON ,THOSE WHO TRY TO "FILL YOUR SHOES"HAVE ALOT TO LEARN ...ITS NOT ONLY CHOREOGRAPHY, BUT STAGE PRESENCE CHARISMA, CONFIDENCE &ATTITUDE...

Leider werden wir alle älter aber wenn ich dich beim Tanzen sehe vor immer joung danke danke 🌹

Makes me want to cry when he talks about his dad.

I've been hooked on this tradition for almost 30 years now & I'm a middle aged Black man from Philadelphia. So I definitely believe that it is a phenomenon

This man is so gracious.

Quelle richesse et quelle vie trépidante tous ces spectacles ! Vous avez l 'air ému .Vous pouvez l'être et surtout très fier de tout ce que vous avez accompli ! Un grand Monsieur Mickael Flattey ?Un bonheur ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Domy

I don't know for sure the origins of the the style of Irish dance but my theory is so it can be done in small spaces, like a kitchen or pub. Under the British oppression most ordinary Irish people lived in small dwellings, we didn't have access to assembly rooms the like, but would have celebrations and get togethers neighbours houses and such

Ich habe ihn in München zweimal erleben dürfen, er ist für mich Totilas der Tänzer, unglaublich!

He lives his Mission.🦋

Michael tore it down to the foundation that it was!!

Nice interview......as flashy and beautiful as this dance was at the end I still adore as miss the traditional. That’s won my heart.

INCREDIBLE UNBELIEVABLE MAGIC OF DANCE.

PERFECTION EXISTS!!!!!

Michael has a very attractive manner and he is very well spoken with an exceptionally attractive voice and manner of speaking. This has certainly been his winning card making business relations. He is not the introverted artist.that many artistically talented people are. He has been very lucky with his genetics and his upbringing and the environmental factors in it.

I'm not sure what year it was but my work had a Christmas party and one of my co worker's won 6 tickets for Riverdance Loved it my heart ❤️ was racing.

Il a même aujourd'hui un charme fou .Longue vie et bcp de bonheur Mr Mickael Flattey ! Une admiration sans borne pour un tel talent des spectacles à couper le souffle .Je vous adore 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻 Domy

Met Michael recently. Very nice man

I saw a few live shows, and everytime it starts i get completely overwhelmed, totaly emotional. I have since 1995 Kerry Blue Terriers, an other Irish Pride, and for grooming it i always say they have to have a Michael Flatley behind. Look for a picture of the breed, you will see what i mean ;-)

AMO PROFUNDAMENTE ESTE BAILE DESDE QUE ERA PEQUEÑA GRACIAS POR EXPANDIR MI CORAZON

Michael you still look sexy loved your interview you are a humble and caring guy

Il est toujours aussi 💕 mais dieu que cela doit être dur pour lui de regarder des images de lui étant jeune si beau si talentueux plus dur pour des artistes que pour nous ?

I'm in the middle of working on a watercolor painting and decided to watch this video to take a break, I knew once I did it was going to zone me out watching them dance- their legs are one big blue! 🤣😄💗🕺

God bless Michael Flately..❤❤❤

Those guys are amazing,c'mon people get up on your feet and give them a big heck yeah!!💪👊👊❤️

Brilliant video thanks

The story of the origin of the Irish Dance was that the school children loved to dance but weren't allowed. So they learned to dance straight and stiff as so when the School Master walked by the window he couldn't tell that the kids were dancing. That's the story that I heard on Lawrence Welk Show

YES. HIS LAST NAME IS. FLATLEY BUT THOSE LEGS OF HIS NEVER WAS HE. WILL ALWAYS DANCE INTO OUR HEARTS FOREVER AND EVER GOD BLESS HIM A. SWEET LOVING MAN ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂❤❤😅❤ ❤❤😂😂❤❤😂😅😅❤😂❤

Well, yes, but on the other hand...the dance part is universally understood...

Fabulous Michael

Mary Magdalene--It's a Dutch show. In Europe, it is common for people to speak four languages in addition to their own. Flatley, being raised in the USA, has American English as his first language; he had to LEARN Gaelic/Irish as an adult. When the host is addressing the television audience, he is speaking Dutch. When he or any of the panel is speaking directly to Michael, they are speaking English with Dutch subtitles on the screen. That isn't rude at all.

From what I can see, Michael has an earphone in his right ear which they use for guests who are not speaking Dutch. Sometimes they use it in talkshows for translation.I think the part which is in Dutch/Flemish language is getting translated in his ear, so he can understand and join the conversation. And when they are talking directly to Michael, they are speaking English. To me It seems not rude at all. It is a Belgian talkshow with Dutch/Flemish spoken language, so it seems logical to me the main language in this program is Dutch/Flemish for the viewers of the program. It hasn’t affected the conversation in my opinion. I have the impression that Michael was able to follow the Dutch part of the conversation very well.

I adore him
