Irish Dance Show: Riverdream Productions

Riverdream Productions: NEW YORK, N.Y. - The folks behind "Riverdance" have a new thundering Irish dance show poised to tour North America, but don't dare call it "Riverdance II." , according to Winnipeg Free Press. "We felt that together with the fusion of other cultures, we could broaden out the base and embrace and display what 20 years have done to Irish music and dance," said producer Moya Doherty.
