Spanish 'Dance Storm' Ignites Passion and Wildness
Founded in 1995, the Spanish FUEGO EN LOS PIES dance troupe will take you on a dance feast on May 19th that perfectly blends the classical with the modern, and passion with wildness.
The seven lead performers come from various European countries. They have undergone long-term professional training in dance and music, and have performed nearly 300 shows in 500 cities across 35 countries and regions worldwide. To date, more than one million spectators have enjoyed their spectacular performances, with tour footprints spanning across Spain and throughout Europe.
The troupe has won the Best Contribution Award at the Minas International Arts Festival, the Special Honor Award at the Munich Dance Championship in Germany, and the 'Outstanding Contribution to the History of Spanish Flamenco' special award presented by the Spanish Flamenco Dance Association.
'Storm' Brings a 'Time-Travel' Journey
'Storm' is another dance drama innovatively choreographed and created over three years following 'Riverdance'. Directed by Kim Gavin, who directed the closing ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games, it is passionately performed by the Irish Innovators dance troupe, composed of outstanding tap dancers from 'Riverdance'.
'Storm' breaks away from traditional dance narrative styles, incorporating popular elements such as time-travel, rescue, unity, and love. This gives the dance drama a brand-new look, providing the audience with refreshing sensory stimulation and a unique audiovisual experience, while also subverting perceptions of traditional tap dance performance forms.
The Irish Innovators dance troupe was founded in 2011 by Alan Kenefick, who served as the male lead in the dance drama 'Riverdance'. The members are basically the original dancers from 'Riverdance'. They participated in the dance competition held by British Sky TV and won the championship with their innovative dance 'Let's Dance'. In addition to the £250,000 cash prize, they also won an opportunity to realize their dreams. They want to prove to the whole world that Irish dance is definitely not just living in the past; it is also changing with the times and will bring new surprises to everyone in the 21st century.
