ALISON CROOSE
King's Lynn Corn Exchange
A dance spectacle par excellence enthralled an audience dazzled by the fleet-footed team in this exciting entertainment.
The innovative show, full of vitality and packed with breath-taking dance routines, has wowed audiences around the world. Now it is making its first appearance at King's Lynn with a run of seven performances.
A host of Irish dance world champions - including the 2006 World Champion Byron Tuttle - teamed up with exponents of modern American tap in a thrilling, high energy show.
Music from Irish pipes and drums provided the background for mesmerising demonstrations of frenetic tap-dancing, made all the more impressive by the amplified sound from the microphones attached to the dancers' shoes.
Just how many ways are there to tap dance? Exponents of modern American tap danced on oil drums and in oil drums and they tapped while they skipped - and delighted the audience in the process.
Pyrotechnics - including dancing shoes which burst into flames in a high-energy routine - and lighting effects all added to the excitement of the show which is based on Irish history with actor Christopher Lee providing the voice-over for the story line.
The 16 dancers certainly did create magic.
