From their homes in Ireland, UK, USA, Canada, Spain, Australia, Moldova, Ukraine & Russia cast members performed together, yet apart.
The video begins with three cast members who have swapped dance shoes for their doctor's scrubs and transitions to other cast members performing in their respective home towns and cities.
This is Riverdance's way of saying "thank you" to all the medical professionals and essential workers keeping the world safe and healthy, including the people at home who continue to do their part in the fight against COVID019.
In March, the cast of Riverdance’s “Lee Company” took to the stage of the world famous Radio City Music Hall, in New York City, to a sold out audience which included UN Ambassadors representing 120 nations.
