'Riverdance' anniversary showcase thrills crowd

Ireland's iconic tap dance show Riverdance celebrated its 30th anniversary with a special creative cast presentation in China last weekend. The show ran for two consecutive days at Shanghai's Grand Gateway 66, standing out as a highlight of the mall's anniversary celebrations.

As a legendary production and global box office champion for 25 consecutive years, Riverdance has previously appeared at China's Spring Festival Gala. It is the only dance show to have won a Grammy Award and maintained a long-running presence on Broadway, setting a benchmark for tap dance artistry. During the Shanghai event, the creative cast performed three excerpts from the show, captivating the audience with their fast, precise, and rhythmic footwork, complemented by rich musicality and stage expression.
