'Lord of the Dance' brings pinnacle of Irish dance to Asheville


Dancer Maggie Revis says that Irish dancers who have finished the competitive circuit, the pinnacle of achievement is joining “Lord of the Dance” or another Michael Flatley production.

“The people that are on stage are the best of the best,” she says. “A spot in this show is extremely coveted. It is probably biggest cast of the most talented Irish step dancers.”

The 2004 North American champion of Irish step dancing, Revis is part of the “Lord of the Dance” troupe coming to Asheville at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium.

Since Flatley's creation of the Irish dancing extravaganza in the 1990s, more than 100 million people worldwide have seen the show, including its four-year run in Las Vegas.
