Dancing
on Common Ground combines traditional Irish and American dancing
for a show that has been called "superior to
Riverdance"
Atlanta, GA -- Dance productions like
Riverdance, Bring In Da Noise, and Stomp have recently taken the
country by storm, performing to sell-out crowds in every state
from California to New York.
The total enjoyment value these kinds of shows provide is
unmatched by any other entertainment genre.
In only its fourth season, Dancing on Common Ground is
just as captivating and universally appealing as its more
well-known counterparts. "We've
performed to rave reviews all over the the country," says
Lorraine Rennie, who created the show and still produces it
today.
Those rave reviews include enthusiastic
acclaim and praise from the Palm Beach Post, the Ft. Lauderdale
Sun Sentinel, Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts, and the
Montrose Daily Press, who called Dancing on Common Ground
"enthralling" and the dancers "magnificent."
The Longview, WA Daily News reports, "Thumbs up to
Common Ground for an uncommon night of entertainment."
Aptly described as "Riverdance meets
Stomp and Tap Dogs," Dancing on Common Ground takes up
where Riverdance leaves off, telling the widely forgotten story
of the Irish immigrants who came to America during the great
potato famine of 1848. "I
developed the program to tell this wonderfully human story in
the form of dance and music that appeals to everyone," says
Rennie. "Through
the show, our audience is able to understand how the rhythmic
precision and drive of Irish step dancing gave birth to American
tap and clogging, and how Irish folk music later became Blue
Grass, Country Western, and Rock n' Roll." All of this is accomplished with an evening of high-energy
entertainment, magnificent professional dancers, and incredible,
dynamic music that should not be missed.
Lorraine Rennie runs her own entertainment
company producing major events for the corporate market.
She and her company, Top Entertainment & Events, have
been profiled on CNN. Booking
the show herself the first season, Rennie persuaded 18 theaters
to take a chance on the new production.
The audience response was so overwhelming that
"Common Ground" performed in 58 cities in its second
season, 75 in its third, and will perform in at least that many
this season.
