I met Michael Flatley this week at his home in London. Not only did he open his home, but he opened his heart. He struck me as a very open and heart-filled man who has worked hard to get to the top of the world of dance. In his presence I never felt spoken to, only spoken with. He treats guests as if are family. His manner was that of a person who would help others with his time, money, love and advice. It was truly good to meet the man that I watched change Irish dancing into a mind-blowing new way of expressing who you are. So if you get a chance to see him live, do so, you will love it. Dance to your own beat and see you around.

Saw Michael Flatley live in NY
C and was breathtaken at the exuberant power and stamina of his performance. I felt like I was watching someone who was a disciplined Master of his body, and also realised at the same time what a hugely creative, historical, paradygm shift this was re Irish dancing.It actually inspired me to study dance, (on a much humbler scale). Nice to know he is also a ‘Great Human’ !
Thankyou for mentioning Michael, Derek
