Jean Butler is one of the most popular and richest Dancer who was born on March 14, 1971 in Long Island, New York State, United States. Dancer and choreographer best known for starring in the original production of Riverdance. An actress as well as a dancer, she appeared in such films as Goldfish Memory and The Brylcreem Boys.
She and fellow Irish American dancer Michael Flatley created a dance piece for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest that inspired the groundbreaking Irish dance show Riverdance.
In 1994, under the invitation of producer Moya Doherty, she performed in a seven-minute intermission piece at the Eurovision Song Contest 1994 entitled Riverdance. The piece was co-choreographed by Butler with Michael Flatley. The response was so explosive that it was extended into a full show, starring Butler and Flatley. The show toured throughout 1995. After Flatley abruptly left the show over creative control disputes in October 1995, Butler was joined by long-time friend Colin Dunne. The pair were the lead dancers at the famous Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York that was filmed and put on DVD. After a long and extremely successful run with the show, Butler eventually left Riverdance in January 1997.
In 1998, following Dunne’s departure from Riverdance, Butler once again collaborated with her friend to create the show Dancing on Dangerous Ground, which was based on the ancient Irish legend of Diarmuid and Gráinne. It opened in London in 1999 to critical acclaim, and then in New York.
