Lord of the Dance: My Story
£3.20
From the international star of Riverdance, Lord of the Dance and, now, Celtic Tiger, comes a no-holds-barred autobiography that reveals the person, the passion and the drama behind Michael Flatley’s astonishing career. Michael describes growing up as the son of Irish immigrants in a tough Chicago neighbourhood and the many years he struggled to make real his dream of becoming a professional Irish dancer. He was in his mid-thirties when he was asked to create Riverdance for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, bursting onto our television screens with a dazzling dance sequence. Just as his dreams were being realised, Michael was shattered when he and Riverdance parted company. Now Michael explains whas really happened backstage and describes how he went on to create the enormously successful Lord of the Dance.
Michael also deals openly with the controversies that have surrounded his success, such as the 2003 rape charge, his turbulent love life and the illness and injuries that have threatened his career. Filled with commentary from family, friends and colleagues and brimming with Michael’s Irish charm and good humour, this book is the very personal story of a man who has lived life to the fullest according to his own credo: nothing is impossible.

I love the Lord of the Dance show, and I think this first filming of it, is the best one (only a little better than Feet on Flames , and much better than the horrible Dangerous Games).
Yet I was very disappointed by the fact that the DVD doesn’t have the subtitles, though both the description on Amazon and on its cover say it has.
I had bought the DVD, at a very high price, mostly because being italian I wanted to watch it with subtitles. Vey disappointing, and, in my opinion, not at all honest.

Like a lot of people, I only know about Michael Flatley as the person who helped launch RiverDance. Other than that, I didn’t know too much about the man himself and the amazing dedication and strength he possessed.
His story is a potential Hollywood blockbuster film. What this man has achieved in a short space of time at his time of life is nothing short of incredible. It’s a story of a man with a dream that jumped over every barrier that was put in front of him. His dedication to his dream seems almost superhuman combined with a talent to make Irish dance sexy and exciting.
He comes across as a self assured man with focus, determination, grit and and with a ‘can do’ belief. He’s funny, talented, popular with the women, down to earth and everyone’s friend. Typical Irishman, I would say! A story well worth reading…….very inspiring!!

Saw the live show twice, absolutely wonderful. The dvd quality is not at all good. Could have been recorded with a not very good mobile phone. Disappointed, show brilliant, dvd needs remastering or bring the show back and do a proper job!
