Recently, cast members Scott Doherty and Michael McHugh (McHugh for the category of dancers under age 18) were crowned world champions at the World Irish Dance Championships.
Doherty and McHugh beat out more than 6,000 dancers representing five continents over the eight-day competition. In 2009, the championships took place in Philadelphia, Penn., the first time the competitions were hosted outside of Ireland and Scotland in its 39-year history.
Flatley, who was in attendance, received an award acknowledging his special achievements in Irish Dance such as producing and choreographing multiple Irish dance shows including Lord of the Dance.
“We are so happy for Scott and Michael. Their dedication to Irish dance and exceptional abilities are just some of the reasons they are part of the Lord of the Dance team,” says Flatley. He adds, “I was just ecstatic to see them both crowned as world champions, and we are very fortunate to have them as part of our cast.”
Flatley, Lord of the Dance’s creator and artistic director, was the first guest judge to appear on ABC’s hit reality television program “Dancing With The Stars.” In November 2007, he and cast members from Lord of the Dance performed on the show. The thrilled studio audience clapped throughout and gave a standing ovation as Flatley and his hypnotizing dancers completed the routine.
“That kind of reaction speaks directly to the quality of dancers who I have had the privilege to bring to the stage,” Flatley says.
More than 100 million people worldwide have seen Lord of the Dance. The cast has performed sold-out shows at theaters, arenas and stadiums in over 67 countries.
