Michael Flatley discovered his first fame starring in Riverdance , but he left the show in late 1995 because of a conflict over creative control. He dreams, and acts, plans to compose dance performances that can play in the arena and stadium instead of traditional theater. Then, Flatley immediately starts thinking about the rhythm pattern and the steps for the number a cappella . This number will become "The Irish Planet", the end of the event. The show takes six months to take it from concept to stage. Auditions are held at the SFX City Theater in Dublin.

Show

Lord of the Dance had a preview show at Point Theater in Dublin from June 28 to July 1, 1996. The show premiered on June 27, 1996 - the video was recorded on July 2, 1996. The story follows the character " Lord of the Dance "and his fight against the evil dark ruler" Don Dorcha "took over the Irish Planet. The "Lord of the Dance" defeats the invasion of the dark master with the help of a little spirit. There is also a story with the theme "love vs lust" expressed through dance throughout the show. "Saoirse, Irish CailÃƒÆ'n" fought for the love of "Lord of the Dance" against the bad guy "Morrighan, the Temptress". The stories are based on ancient Irish folklore and some biblical references; the title itself, together with a central musical theme, is derived from contemporary hymns.

In March 1997, Lord of the Dance was performed at the Oscars. That November, Lord of the Dance expanded its operations by forming several dance groups that will tour North America and Europe.
