Erin the Goddess
Erin the Goddess enters draped in velvet green, and sings a ballad of the longings of love.

Celtic Dream
The Girls of Ireland dance a vision of peaceful beauty, joined by Saiorse, but the dreamy loveliness is soon to be replaced by darker times.



The Warriors
Don Dorcha, the Dark Lord, arrives in a malevolent mask, swaggering with the bravado of the usurper. His army follows, dancing in tight militaristic precision and ready to steal the peace of the land in order to name their leader the new Lord.

Gypsy
A more subtle threat to the peace comes in the form of  the sultry Morrighan, sensuous and beautiful, and eager to steal the Lord of the Dance from Saiorse.

Strings of Fire
 Celtic fire and spirit are ignighted by Mairead Nesbett and Cora Smyth on violin, their bowing building from a sweet strain to a wild romp.

Breakout
Saiorse and the Girls dance again in a swirl of color and a soft staccato of taps until Morrighan struts in and challenges Saiorse's ability to be seductive. Saiorse and the girls answer by stripping down to black tap pants and crop tops and proving they have just as much allure as the Temptress.

WARLORDS
The Lord of the Dance and his Warlords walk in on the end of the Girls' display and offer one of their own, with the Lord examining the readiness of his army and leading them in a lightning fast drill, which does not fail to impress the watching Girls.

ERIN THE GODDESS
As the Lord dismisses his troops with a shout, Erin returns to sing a song in Gaelic that moves even those who don't speak the language.

THE LORD OF THE DANCE
Saoirse and Morrighan perform a duet, matching each other's moves with delicate feminine grace. Four male dancers join them in a double display of agility and talent. As they exit, the Lord once more takes the stage, leaping and stepping in a way that can leave no doubt of his right to his title. He exits for his troupe to take over, then joins them again, leading them in a stage thundering crechendo to finish the act.
