Shows like Riverdance and Lord of the Dance took the world by storm and sparked an interest in Irish dancing. As a result, many people were wanting to hire Irish dance groups for weddings and corporate event entertainment.
There are many different Irish dance companies in Ireland (obviously) and each offer something different and cater to many different budgets.

2. Timeline - A History Of Irish Dance Show
The Timeline show demonstrates the progression of Irish dance through the ages. It starts with old style dancing, shows the "Riverdancing" stage and ends with a modern twist on Irish dance.
The show has been used for corporate entertainment across the whole of Ireland and also incorporates many of Irelands most talented singers and musicians.
