Taking Irish dancing to the limit

Damian O'Kane will be deputizing for the master of Irish dance Michael Flatley, but Lord of the Dance will be a magnificent production anyway

By Yu Sen-lun  /  STAFF REPORTER

Lord of the Dance is now divided into three troupes. The fourth troupe will be established in March this year. The group coming to Taipei is Troupe 1, led by former dance champion Damian O'Kane, who will be playing Flatley's original role as the lord of the dance. Together with 40 dancers and 10 musicians, Troupe 1 will undoubtedly move the Taipei International Convention Center for the next three days.

"We will bring the best to our Taiwan audience. And we guarantee the entertainment will not be a tiny bit less than our shows elsewhere," said O'Kane on Tuesday at their Taipei press conference.
