90s was a golden age. Great time to be living in Ireland

Jean Butler is very talented and very pretty. That performance at the Eurovision so long ago was amazing. Totally overshadowed the Eurovision itself

Fell in love with Jean Butler the minute I saw her. Absolute perfection. Still think she is a babe years later!

two amazingly talented dancers and entertainers. these two people are some of the reasons why I moved to Ireland and why I still love this country to this day. just WOW

Those two are beyond fabulous! Loved this.

Combo of Irish jig, tap dance, flamenco, and ballet. Amazing.

ALWAYS AMAZING TO SEE. younger I did alot of kloging it's hard work.they do it so gracefully. and make it look so easy.thank you for the video.

What a fabulous interview and history in the making there. Michael was so humble and almost shy (not too shy to steal a bit too much of the limelight on the night, though Jean was a little reticent) - traits he shook off soon enough, but very much to his advantage and in an admirable way. These two made the term "plastic paddy" an accolade rather than some sort of backhanded insult - something this 100% Irish, London born Irishman is very grateful to them for. Such a shame people born in Ireland today are denied their Irishness by those same begrudgers because they have a different skin colour.

that piece Micahel did with the guys...it reminds me so much of warlords from lord of the dance...so freaking awesome...thanks for sharing.

I watched him life in San Francisco many years ago - His shows are always fantastic

1994 an historic year for Irish step dancing with lead American Irish dancers Jean Butler and Michael Flately. Irish step dancing is beautiful and so were the Irish step dancers troupe who performed wonderfully in front of huge audiences worldwide. Splendid! Magnificent! Bravo!

Such grace, athleticism, rhythm, speed.

Thank you for sharing this! Jean is such a beautiful young woman, inside and out. They are My age, Michaels a year older, born on South Side of Chicago, and I was born on North Side, (County Kerry and Cork lineage). I haven't been to Ireland yet, but I plan to go to County Kerry and stay for an extended visit, walk barefoot on the land of my Ancestory, Paint, Write, and have a drink of "Red Breast" daily. 😘

Michael has a wonderful voice he is gorgeous

Jean was the Queen!

perfection

This is my first time seeing this! So very amazing to watch! Thank you for posting it. I’m a “new”, old(66 yo) Flatley fan! Can’t get enough of his magical feet, uncompromising faith, incredible work ethic and gentle heart.

Thank you so much for send me this interessant dance video, CR's Video Vaults. I'm so glad for this.

She is amazing

I can't even imagine how their bodies do it. It is so amazing amazing amazing!!!

The inspiration for the Seinfeld "Puffy Shirt" episode!

Fabulous Dancing xx

New York and Chicago born Jean Butler and Micheal Flatley.

The Riverdance stars of course.

Olağanüstü, harika 👍👍👏👏🌹❤️ Muhteşem bir çift ve efsane gösterileri.... !nanılmaz 👍✌️🌹🌹

26 years ago now 😳

I kept trying to figure out how to adjust the tracking on my iPad. ;)

Michael holding out the chair for Jean. A gentleman...They really were the most magical couple

They have such interesting accents, you can tell they must have had Irish born parents because some of their phrasing and pronunciations are more definitely Irish, mixed with some American pronunciation. Overall an interesting retrospect, I suppose you can see that probably with each subsequent generation the original Irish accent gets diluted and lost

even the cat loves it

They seemed to pick up Irish accents - presumably with their upbringing, it was latent and once they were in Ireland, it came out automatically.

michael

The audience had been dug up from the grave yard that same morning.

Fiachna and Fauchna in action 😀

Jean Butler is very beautiful looking in this

these two are the best!!!!!

Michael seems like a lovely fella 👍

Gay is a great man. He says the " strapping" its a wonderful word. Were you eve r told as a kid " your a strap" as if a kid knew what a strap was 😅. But HOWEVER you knew you did something wrong. Its Brilliant 😅😅❤

Roll it there Roisín please

I was 18 yr old fella at the time... Jaysus chhhrist Mrs butler...😦😣😦

Butler/Flatley family roots,

Jean sounds very nervous

Sensacional!

Are they a couple or just dance partners would love to know more about them

he's picked up a slight Irish accent since that interview. living in Ireland for a few decades would do that.

God I Love freckles.

Jean Butler was, and likely still is, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen!

its finegans wake ... the tap dace

Fun fact some of jeans family married into the Flatley family.

The calfs on that stringbean dancing girl!

How disgusting the TV presenter asking Jean for a kiss in the mouth. Wtf.

This sounds like some console or game menu song.

Finding

Was that a kiss on the lips at 6:15 ? Would be controversial today.

I'd love to see Michael and Jean doing Michael Jackson's 'Moonwalk'. Smiles.

Fresh faced Jean Butler I think she was 19 yrs old.

Она красивая

For two people born in the States, they have a strange accent?

Amazing that flatleys current wife danced in the original riverdance show. He sidelined Beata for her😁

she's still hot

Euck, this interview is so cringey. Michael Flatley and Jean both had amazing stories but only one of them really got to talk. The interviewer kept cutting Jean short and kept alluding to really stupid things like her sex appeal. Flatley has lots of that, too. He could have spoken about the performance as whole. The interviewer didn't even bother to find out whether or not Jean had a boyfriend before the interview or before he started being a perv and then they couldn't even find the boyfriend in the audience. So gross.

when talking about the upcoming show ..why did the host say "black tap dancers" from American...since when does tap dancing have a color?

why this video is ALWAYS OUT OF SYNC???? for the fuck sake, this is cursed or something?

Michael & Jean look so uhm, connected, and Beata looks a bit uncomfortable watching from the audience until Michael says he's the 'luckiest guy in the world' etc to have her.

I bet the sweat was dripping off her flaps after that.

Jean Butler never dance so well as Michael Flathey he is the best .

Michael FLATFOOT😀😀😀😀😀 Listen to that Accent....He is about as Irish as Winston Churchill He was bon in CHICAGO😀😀😀😀😀
