Michael Flatley
Michael Ryan Flatley (born July 16, 1958) is an American stepdancer, choreographer and musician, of Irish descent. He became internationally known for Irish dance shows ''Riverdance'', ''Warlords'', ''Lord of the Dance'', ''Feet of Flames'', and ''Celtic Tiger''.
==Early life==
Flatley is a native of the South Side of Chicago. He is of Irish American background, being born to Irish parents Michael and Eilish. His parents were both Irish-born, but migrated to the US several years before Michael's birth. Michael was the second of five children. He has three sisters, Anne-Marie, Eliza and Thomasina, as well as a brother Patrick.
He began dancing lessons at age 11 and, in 1975, at age 17 was the first American to secure a World Irish Dance title at the World Irish Dance Championships, the ''Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne''.〔(). Irishamerica.com. Retrieved on March 20, 2015.〕 He is also an accomplished flautist, having won twice in the All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil Concert Flute competitions from 1975-1976 and later in his career having released two albums. In his youth, Flatley also practiced amateur boxing; at age 17 he won the Chicago Golden Gloves Championship title.
In dance, Flatley was taught by Dennis Dennehy at the Dennehy School of Irish Dance in Chicago, then went on to produce his own show. After graduating from Brother Rice High School, on Chicago's Southwest Side, he opened a dance school, but later closed it down because he thought he would be a better performer than a teacher.
