The danceperados of ireland perform on tuesday, 12. December, at 8 p.M. In the bamberg concert and congress hall. The enthusiasm for tap dancing is written in the name of this new irish dance show. Freely translated, it means "the dancers" – dancing, singing and playing is in the blood of the irish people.
What distinguishes danceperados from a traditional dance show is the quality of the dancers, musicians and singers. They afford themselves the luxury of taking a musical sextet on tour with them. These musicians belong to the top league of irish folk music. There are also some all ireland champions thereby. The singer geraldine macgowan is one of the pioneers of the irish folk revival of the 70s. Accordion virtuoso eimhin liddy serves as musical director.
The two-time world champion is responsible for the choreography michael donnellan responsible. He was a soloist in riverdance as well as lord of the dance. After michael flatley he was probably the tap dancer with the roughest profile and an impressive biography.
Every country has its own special way of celebrating christmas. Ireland is no exception. The danceperados will bring the audience with their "irish christmas show" the christmas customs of the green island closer.
They take the spectator back to a time before the commercialization of the christmas festival. Since many irish people, then and now, had to earn their living abroad, christmas is always the time of year when all irish people living abroad strive to get home. They have not seen their friends and families all year and they are overjoyed to be able to celebrate together. The pubs are full to bursting and whiskey and beer are flowing. In addition there will be jigs& reels are played, which also have christmas names, such as "christmas".B. "Christmas eve. Where jigs& reels are played, there is also dancing like crazy…
Last but not least it should be said that the danceperados work without playback. The musicians and dancers are looking for the artistic challenge to dance and play without a net and a double bottom. According to the organizer, this is the only way to react spontaneously and improvise.
