The Rhythm of Dancing
Not all, but most of us love dancing in some form. The sound, the rhythm, the beat. The body’s movements synchronized to melodious sounds. Modern, Ballet, Rock, Classic, Traditional, so many different forms of dance around the planet.
Four days ago at Caans, it was announced that Michael Flatley (Lord of the Dance – stepdance superstar) and 
Harvey Weinstein (Oscars) will be producing “The World Dancing Awards” to be aired in the Spring of 2013 most likely around April after the Oscars and the Grammys.
Michael Flatley called the project “a dream come true” and said the show would honor both the best in current dance talent as well as the great dancers of year’s past, from Fred Astaire to Michael Jackson.
” I think people have underestimated the popularity of dance around the world,” Flatley said. “But it is huge and it is only growing.”
Today all of us need to be reminded of the beauty in life – that which makes us feel good. Dance is definitely one of those things. For your entertainment I would like to share Michael Flatley at his finest along with his amazing troupe of dancers. Enjoy.

The Why About This 
I was recently in Dublin and got the chance to see Riverdance live… EXCELENT!
LOVE ❤
I dance all the time. Every day I try to find time to dance to life! I listen to my music just about every day.
xx 🙂 🙂 xx
Go girl! Me too Rosy! 🙂 xox
Great post about dancing. i love dancing and do Tap dance myself, I love Flatley and Gene Kelly is my hero. i enjoy dancing so much , it makes me feel free! thanks for this lovely post.
Wasn’t Gene Kelly just amazing? I loved to watch him dance and sing and well everything I guess lol! You are very welcome! It is always a pleasure for me to bring pleasure to others! 🙂
Penny – I think that’s exactly what I needed to see today! Thank-you.
I am so glad to hear that. It really makes my day to know my post makes a difference! How have you been doing?
Actually quite well – bumps here and there – today was one of the bump days… till Riverdance.
I am very pleased to hear that the video helped. I know now is very hard for you, hang on, dear friend and take care of you, blessing this day to you ~ with affection, Penny
Danced just the other day to the song “The Side Step!”
That’s the thing! Dancing – keeps us alive, I think, Barbara! Movin’ to the groove! 🙂
I must admit I do dance a lot. No one would want to see it. My husband tells me I look like Elaine from Seinfeld when I dance! 😐
Remind your husband how amazingly lucky he is have you! It’s the moving that energizes your body, it is soul freeing and uplifting, perhaps he should dance more? lol, Penny
just danced around my bathroom to your shared video treat Penny! Thank you Love! 🙂
Dancing is just so fun Robyn, watching or participating! Just no way around it and I can just see you now dancing to the beat – Way cool! A happy thought indeed! Returning your love fully and completely ~ Penny xxx
Looove to dance, love to watch dancing (So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars, dance movies like Flashdance) and am so happy to hear about an awards show for dancers. Wow! Amazing no one has done this before now. Thanks for the news flash!

My pleasure Susan, I try to keep my eye on anything that will bring a little more love and beauty into a person’s life. I saw a few interviews with Michael and he is happy off the wall with the opportunity of showcasing some of the best ever dancers ever! A really cool thing!
I was thrilled to be able to go see Lord of the Dance. I will have to be watching for the Dancing Awards in 2013. Thanks Penny 🙂
My pleasure LuAnn. He is really quite amazing to watch isn’t he? And now he’s on this quest searching for talented dancers around the world, so very very cool I think, passing on his legacy – So to speak!
In my family we dance around the house all the time, it’s so much fun! What about you? 🙂
Yes Letizia, we do all the time, the whole family – movin’ to the tunes! Great great fun! 🙂
It’s true, it is 🙂 Another great post, Penny!
Thank you Letizia! 🙂
I am not a good dancer but in my head and when no one is watching I like to dance. The kids and I dance to some of their songs before bedtime about 3 times a week
I can only imagine boomie! How wonderful is that? And dancing with your children is just one of those really delightful things to do isn’t it?
Riverdance always brings a smile to my face, for the sheer dramatic scale of the whole production and also for a I radio call in on comedy show Alan Partridge, which may amuse you…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGZ15IHN2_Q
Just went there, I’m laughing so hard right now Ste J, tears in the eyes! Very very funny!Still laughing!
OMG that is so funny 😀
Yes! 🙂
😀 That’s going to be with me for ages lol
Just too too funny!
Alan Partridge, a man of many amusing one liners, I recommend you guys watch the whole two series (but not the chat show he did that wasn’t as good), it really is endlessly quotable.
Thanks, I will be doing so! Laughter (after books) my favorite thing!
Mine too, except for those complementary sweets you sometimes get in restaurants.
Yeah, I can understand that!
Got me laughing too! 😀
love this i am absorbed by dance and river-dance is one of my all time faves! fab post pens have a great day xx
Thanks Kizzy, I agree, totally mezmerizing in the most delightful and uplifting way! Hoping your weekend went well for you and your family, hugs to you my friend, Penny 🙂
Riverdance and Lord of the Dance are brilliant. They are a wonder to behold
Yup, no question about it, I never get tired of watching him and his amazing dancers! 🙂
I would love to go see it live. Flatley isn’t doing it any more over here though.
No he’s actually being more of a producer/director looking for talent around the world – a cool thing, Passing on what he’s learned. Hey you wanna laugh, scroll down my comments to Ste J and click on the link, just hilarious!
ROFL
I love that 😀
As for what he’s doing … he’s great for that. “Flatley my dear, I don’t Riverdance” haha
🙂
AnElephantCant dance like a Penny
He isn’t so light on his feet
But he comes alive
For the Twist or the Jive
And his trunk moves are a rock ‘n’ roll treat
I’ll just bet it does my friend, thank you! Penny
…I feel the music when I dance…….found a country western dance club near by, got myself a new pair of cowboy boots, now I just need to find the time to start two-stepping again.
