'Riverdance' tour celebrates its 30th anniversary with a pair of siblings leading the way Before they hit the stage every night, Irish siblings Anna Mai and Fergus Fitzpatrick share a special ritual: A hug and a low five.
Fergus followed soon after, and both began competing, with Fergus winning the World Irish Dance Championships in 2017 and his sister winning the All-Ireland Championships, Great Britain Championships and the British Nationals.
It's a sweet way to check in for a brother and sister dancing duo who are propelling “Riverdance 30 — The New Generation,” a touring celebration of the show that put Irish dance on the global map and has deepened their bond.
Both were veteran winners of Irish dance competitions when they joined “Riverdance” in 2017, Fergus a few weeks ahead of Anna Mai.
The “Riverdance” tour that kicks off this month in Florida will visit over 40 North American cities, including two weeks at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and performances at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
