JUNE 6, BATH: The international smash hit Spirit Of The Dance makes a welcome return to the Theatre Royal Bath for two performances on Sunday.

The show has been seen by more than 30 million people in 15 countries around the world and is the winner of no less than nine Global Awards including Best Choreography and Best International Production.

Irish in origin and bursting with raw energy, this explosive and powerful show combines heart-pounding Irish dance with the sensual Latino rhythms of Tango, flamenco and red hot salsa in a thrilling production of strength, passion and breathtaking choreography.

With their frenzied skill and military precision, watching a performance by the world champion dancers of the Irish International Dance Company will send shivers down your spine. Not one Irish dance shoe steps out of line as their thunderous feet perform as one, complemented by rousing music, dynamic lighting and dazzling costumes.

Each year, Spirit Of The Dance evolves with new dance pieces and innovative choreography highlighting the changing taste of world dance styles.

David King, the producer, composer and creator of Spirit Of The Dance, said: "We change the show each year to include the latest dance styles from around the world.

"Spirit Of The Dance is now one of the most successful shows in show business history. Because of the success, I've been able to bring in the world's greatest choreographers, set designers, lighting designers, costume designers, and I have managed to surround myself with the top people in the business."
