Question: Riverdance is part of a traditional dance from origination from which country?

Egedege Dance is one of the most renowned traditional dance outfits and an Igbo traditional Royal-styled cultural dance in the whole of South Eastern Nigeria.  Founded in 1985, it is a reincarnation of an old version originally performed by the ancestors of the present-day Unubi.  In those days, it was a moonlight dance, performed by youths.  It has however been remodeled to fit modern trends.  Their performance is a combination of songs, dance, Instrumentation and colorful traditional outfits.  Their performance is introduced by elaborate fluting which is the entrance cue that heralds the group, led by the queen.  The singing only begins when the queen reaches the stage and takes the microphone.  She arrives under a big umbrella, carried by one man, with another fanning her from behind.  She sings but sometimes dance to the rhythm of the instrument.  Egedege dance was made popular by Mrs Theresa Onuorah in Unubi Town.  She is happily married and lives in Unubi till date. <SEP>  Irish dance in its current form developed from various influences such as French quadrilles and English country dancing throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.  Dance was taught by "travelling dance masters" across Ireland throughout this period, and separate dance forms developed according to regional practice and differing purposes. Irish dance or Irish dancing is a group of traditional dance forms originating in Ireland, encompassing dancing both solo and in groups, and dancing for social, competitive and performance purposes.  Irish dance became a significant part of Irish culture, particularly for Irish nationalist movements.  From the early 20th century, a number of organisations promoted and codified the various forms of dance, creating competitive structures and standardised styles. <SEP> Traditional Nordic dance music is a type of traditional music or folk music that once was common in the mainland part of the Nordic countries — Scandinavia plus Finland.  The person who plays this kind of music might be called "speleman" (Swedish/Norwegian), "spelman" (Swedish), "spel(l)emann" (Norwegian), "pelimanni" (Finnish) or "spillemand" (Danish).  Finnish traditional dance music is often called "pelimanni music" in English, while there does not seem to exist a similar, widespread term for the corresponding music from the other countries.  It is often more meaningful to distinguish between the traditional dance music from different regions than between music from the countries as such.  Some concepts in the field can be defined as Norwegian or Finnish, but most are either common to all four countries or local.  Besides the dance music tradition, all countries also have other traditions of folk music that are not shared to a similar extent. <SEP>  The Dublin native was part of the original 24 troupe members for "Riverdance's" seven-minute interval act at the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest.
