Feet of Flames Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Anyone who has ever attended Lord of the Dance or Feet of Flames knows two things...
1) The most amazing part of the show and music is the incredible speeds at which they can tap and....
2) Feet of Flames is a revamped version of Lord of the Dance with a few more explosions and a few new acts. Most of the music on both Lord of the Dance and Feet of Flames CD's omits the sounds of the dancers tap shoes, even more so in Feet of Flames. Is that not the point behind this type of dance?
My suggestions...
1) Purchase the Feet Of Flames DVD or the Lord of the Dance DVD from Amazon. You may not be able to listen to it in the car but you can play it for the music or plop yourself down and experience it again and again.
2)If you are still going to by the CD, pick up Lord of the Dance and skip Feet of Flames. There are only a few new items added and the Lord of the Dance CD contains a better selection of music.
3) Purchase the Feet of Flames DVD and instantly you will take note of how few songs are actually on the audio CD. I truly believe it should have been a two CD set to allow for all of the music from the show and separate versions with tap and without.

Michael Flatley - Lord of the Dance (1996) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When the name Michael Flatley is mentioned, many people immediately call to mind the heart-pounding rhythms and intoxicating melodies of Riverdance. That's all fine and dandy, but resist the temptation to consider Lord of the Dance an extension of its popular predecessor. This show concentrates exclusively on Irish dance, incorporating many of the darker aspects of the Celtic heritage into its story and imagery.
A consummate showman, Flatley dominates the stage in a fiery, breathless performance of boundless energy. There is a raw edge to this music and dance portrayal of the battle between good and evil. Lord of the Dance runs the full gauntlet of emotions; occasionally tender, often sensual, frequently aggressive to the point of near violence.
For one who takes the time (and the required concentration) to carefully observe, Flatley's technical brilliance is apparent in the speed, difficulty and perfection of form which he brings to his dance routines. Amazingly, the supporting dancers are almost equally as skilled.
However, the enjoyment of this show is not in its technical merit, but in its artistic wizardry. It is an intricate performance which frequently intertwines the movements of many dancers, yet maintains its cohesion and flow, never losing the simple beauty of skilled bodies in constant motion.
The single flaw is in the editing of the video, which occasionally cuts between camera angles so quickly and so often as to be distracting. Within this minor problem, however, are some visual gems, such as seeing the feet of the dancers from BENEATH the stage, a unique perspective that gives a true appreciation for the power and skill of the cast.
Lord of the Dance is not, as occasionally suggested, a repackaging of Riverdance. It is a completely different visual experience, one that stands rightly and proudly on its own. In this performance, Michael Flatley more than proves that he is worthy of the title.
