Description
Thunderdance is a theatrical show consisting of Irish music and dance. A TV advertisement shown in D.W., Dancing Queen describes it as an “Irish Step-Dancing Extravaganza”. D.W. and Binky watch the advertisement and it gives them the idea to do a dance presentation for project day.
The advertisement mentions the following acts:
- O’Kelly and the Weasel: a rat in a green suit and a woman (not a weasel) in a weasel costume
- The Great Big Potato: a person dressed up as a potato
- The Queen of the Mist: a monkey with long brown hair in a green dress
- The Prince of the Dance: a bare-chested blond aardvark in a white vest
Trivia
- Thunderdance is a parody of Riverdance, a stage show that originated as an interval performance act during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest and went on to become one of the most successful dance productions in the world. Like Thunderdance it combined modernized Irish folk music and folk dancing.
- The “Prince of the Dance” references former Riverdance member Michael Flatley who started his own stage show called Lord of the Dance. It became Riverdance’s biggest rival. He often performed wearing a vest without a shirt.
