Irish Hand Dancing by Former Riverdance Duo
We’ve got to hand it to Suzanne Cleary and Peter Harding, they know how to take Irish dance to new and unexpected places. The pair, world-class Irish dancers who toured with Riverdance and Magic of the Dance, coined their unique, irreverent and totally cool style of hand dancing in 2008 and have since enjoyed great success, including appearances on Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent, a spot in a McDonald’s commercial, and many enthusiastic fans. Recent articles have hinted that the pair may be considering a touring show, which would undoubtedly be epic. In the meantime, enjoy the video that started it all – with Harding and Cleary’s hand dance to Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP’s We No Speak Americano, directed by Johnny Reed.
