With 'Rockin' Road to Dublin,' a 'Riverdance' runs through it

ROCHESTER - "Rockin' Road to Dublin" is the new sensation changing the Irish Dance world. A fusion of rock and Irish, "Rockin' Road" combines the best of both worlds to thrust Irish Dance back into the spotlight.

The Rochester Opera House will have one show of "Rockin' Road to Dublin" on Feb. 12.

Among noteworthy reviews is Irish Dane Magazine, who said, "'Rockin' Road to Dublin' is that all-important one-two punch of style and mastery ... the cast exudes a fabulous mix of charisma and personality. However, the fun vibe is solidly backed by the highly original choreography and technical mastery of every performer onstage; world-class, although this crew is making it all look easy. Scott and Chris have made some magic here."

"Rockin' Road to Dublin" was created by Chris Smith, lifelong musician and performer, who toured the world with one of the top Celtic rock bands, The American Rogues, and Scott Doherty, the 2009 men's world champion of Irish dance who made his professional debut in 2005 with the North American tour of Riverdance. Since then he has toured the world with both Riverdance and Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance.
