LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The lightning-quick footwork and heart-pounding Celtic rhythms that have thrilled audiences around the world are back at Walt Disney World Resort, bringing audiences to their feet during the free-form Irish spectacular "The Best of Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance" -- performing live June 18-Aug. 26 at Epcot.
"Last summer’s engagement was an enormous hit with our guests, and we are delighted to bring this world-class, high-energy presentation show back," says Laurie Speights, general manager for Epcot Entertainment. "It’s great for the whole family and a perfect addition to our continuing celebration of world cultures."
