MICHAEL FLATLEY'S LORD OF THE DANCE AT THE O2, LONDON
In the farewall tour he made the hall lively when he created and together with a cast of 40 nimble-footed dancers he made sure it went out with a lot of noise.
The Lord Of The Dance reverberates with Riverdance echoes. We have the twin violin playing Barbie Dolls, the often scantily clad girls including Bernadette Flynn-O'Kane and Kelly Hendry for dads and the handsome lads led by Tom Cunningham for drooling mums. Monks with flaming torches feature while chanteuse Deidre Shannon makes the old chestnut, Once I Dwelt In Marble Halls, as fresh as paint.

A LORD OF THE DANCE
Alistair Spalding, chief executive of Sadler’s Wells, says:
We have lots of international dancers from all over the world coming to Sadler’s Wells and the ones who are best on and off stage are the Latin Americans. It’s basically about what they do with their hips and how they’re centred.
How you move your main torso is crucial and you shouldn’t be flailing your arms around. The best way to move well is by being in control and having a centre of gravity.
I cringe when I see people go completely out of control on the dance floor. It should really be quite minimal. Whenever I try to venture out in public, I keep it simple and I would advise others to do the same. Don’t go out of your comfort zone or try moves you haven’t had any tuition in. Dancing, after all, is something you need to learn – even social dancing is a skill. Go for a few lessons, it makes all the difference. No one would think of driving a car without instruction and the same applies here.
Some men are naturally better dancers than others, of course, but everyone has the ability. Learn what you can and can’t do, stick to that and don’t drink too much: having too much confidence when you have no physical ability is a recipe for disaster.
