Riverdance is 25 years old today coincidentally on Today FM's National Day of Dancing!
We were first introduced to the Irish dancing phenomenon at the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest which was broadcast from what was then known as Dublin's Point Theatre and featured Irish dancing champions Jean Butler, Michael Flatley and the vocal ensemble Anúna.
Eurovision hosts Cynthia Ni Mhurchú and Gerry Ryan ushered the beginning of the interval act that went on to steal the show and become a show all of its own.
Riverdance has since been seen by over 25 million people, has grossed over 1 billion euro and is still being watched by audiences in China, the US and all across Europe.
And the show rolls on with yet more performances planned in Dublin this summer and the chances of it dancing on til its 30th anniversary a very real possibility.
