This live version of "Fire Dance" was performed live in London's Hyde Park in 1998. It was a fairly large-scale outdoor performance with 84 dancers from two dance companies. Attending the show, more than 25,000 spectators watched this wonderful performance. In order to give "Fire Dance" the best effect, the dance drama was performed in the Route of Kings Square in Hyde Park. This venue spans the wide view of Hyde Park and is the most prominent stage background. In this spacious performance venue, 25 cameras were specially arranged to record the performance at the same time to echo the wonderful performances in each section of the venue. The entire performance process made people feel as if they were entering a dreamland and could not help but be immersed in it. Since this performance is to celebrate the last tour performance of Lord of Dance, the entire dance drama is designed, choreographed and led by Mike Fraley himself. Its skillful dance skills and charming dance postures show the tap dance The peak of perfection demonstrates the national connotation of Irish dance.

Michael Flatley was born in Chicago on July 16, 1958. Michael Flatley's parents were both from Ireland. His grandmother, a former Irish dancing champion, taught him how to dance when he was four, but not seriously. It wasn't until he was 11 years old that his mother (also an Irish dancing champion) began taking him to dance lessons. At that time, the teacher told him that it was too late to learn dance at the age of 11, but he remained unmoved because he had already admired Irish dance master Kevin Massey and was deeply influenced by him. Unexpectedly, this child, who was initially thought to be too late to learn to dance by his teacher, actually won the World Irish Dance Championship when he was 17 years old (1975), setting a record as the first non-European to win the championship. Later, he won the Irish dance championship in 13 countries (including the United States), and was the youngest recipient of the US National Heritage Fellowship personally awarded by former President Reagan. This honor is given to America's greatest artistic performers. In 1991, the National Geographic Society also declared Michael Flatley a "Living Treasure."
In addition, Mike Fraley is the Guinness World Record holder for kicking 35 times in 1 second.
