During the event, Michael Flatley announced that his foundation would donate funds raised on the evening to a number of local charities as well as giving his very own gift to Limerick. He took the occasion to gift a 9ft Steinway Grand Piano to the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at University of Limerick. The Irish-American dancer and choreographer has also been busy, rehearsing at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at the University of Limerick, both for the recent ITV ‘A Night to Remember’ and for his upcoming new show, ‘Lord of the Dance — Dangerous Games’. He saw this as a fantastic opportunity to give back to the college and thank them for their support and advocacy, while also supporting the new and upcoming Music and Dance talent in the country. The piano will now be used for orchestral performances and recitals.
