Bernadette Flynn from Superstars of Dance
Written by: JohnOne of the highlights of Superstars of Dance for me so far was the duet between Bernadette Flynn and Damien O’Kane. Ok, I probably mostly just liked Bernadette Flynn, but together they did something very beautiful.
Of course, when I like a dancer on a show, I have to do some searches for other videos by those dancers. Here’s a video of Bernadette Flynn dancing to “Breakout”
in Lord of the Dance. One person called it the Strip Jig. Seems kind of fitting.
Also, it’s worth seeing the full version of “Stolen Kiss”
from the original Lord of the Dance. It’s fun to compare it to the version performed on Superstars of Dance. I think I’ll take what was done on Superstars of Dance, but they are both wonderful.
I admit that I wasn’t all that familiar with Irish step dancing until now, but Bernadette Flynn is helping a person like myself learn to really enjoy such a beautiful dance.

————————-Previous (probably Duplicate)Music Findings———————————–
I previously posted the music I could find from the premier of Superstars of Dance music. I’ll be trying to post all the music from Superstars of Dance, but it’s been pretty difficult to figure out the songs. There’s such a unique set of interesting music on the show. Probably due to the diversity of countries.
Here’s where I’ll add all the music from the second episode of Superstars of Dance:
Indian group danced a Bollywood to the song “Nagada Nagada” sung by Javed Ali & Sonu Nigam from the Indian movie Jab We Met
![]()
US Hip Hop Group (US Group) danced to the song “Don’t Touch Me (Throw Da Water On ‘Em)” by Busta Rhymes
![]()
Dormesha Sumbry-Edwards (US Solo) did a tap dance to the song “The Typewriter”
by Leroy Anderson
Reed Luplau (Australian soloist) danced to “One More Town” sung by Hal David
