3 sequences — what is danced, by whom, and where to find it.
Michael Flatley's screen-and-stage finale
Theatrical Irish Step (Riverdance era)Danced by Michael Flatley; ensemble · Choreography Michael Flatley
Flatley dancing alone on the screen before joining the production's climactic stage ovation.
The finale layers Flatley's filmed solo image with his live-stage appearance and the company, using screen mediation as part of the choreography rather than merely documenting it.
