Irish dance students from various dance academies around the Boston area laced up their gillies and enthusiastically strutted their stuff, while several cast members taught the iconic “Riverdance” routine that captured hearts around the world when originally performed at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994. The routine launched the live-show that has become a worldwide sensation.
