Lord of The Dance Brussels 2012

Posted on September 1, 2012January 2, 2014 by worldcityguides

A few years ago there was a guy somewhere in Ireland whose talent and creativity amazed people everywhere. Michael Flatley was born in Ireland and his incredible dance helped him soon to the top. He had the fastest leg ever been in the dance world, he could even make some music with his famous steps and his dance show Lord of the dance becoming one of the most well-known and acknowledged show internationally. Unfortunately his tours with his team many years after ended, because his leg was out of steps because of his age. However, the audience still not forget the passion and enjoyment that they felt so with Michael’s approval the show continued without him.

Now the Company returns to Brussels on the 4th of December at Forest National, to give a shocking experience for everyone who choose to watch it. The story is based on Irish folklore, on the classic tale of Good fighting with the Evil. It is about a Little Spirit who travels through time to help the Lord of the Dance protect his people from the challenge of the Dark Lord. As the evil dark power challenges the hero, the incredible adventure continues, drawing it’s audience into a mythical universe of love, danger, and desire.

Of course now it is not the same experience because Michael has already left the company but it has some benefits. New generation brings new moment and passion, also they can renew the show with modern XXI. Centuries elements and now I am not talking about the choreography but about technical elements for example: lights, and stage. Maybe you can even feel yourself in Ireland as well during the show.

Recommended Brussels hotels!

Posted on July 31, 2012 by worldcityguides

Brussels is an amazing city in the late summer and early autumn, and maybe especially in August as the big flower carpet can be seen and enjoyed on the Grote Markt in Brussels. It is though important as you come to Brussels to find a hotel in the centre of Brussels, meaning that you do not have to spend to much time travelling to and from the city centre, but instead can enjoy the city center, the chocolate, waffles and other activities.

Here you can find some hotels with great prices and good locations at the moment, so if you look for a hotel, you should consider one of these. The hotels have three, four or five stars and cover different qualities and price levels, so hopefully one of the recommendations will suit you.

Brussels hotel recommendations!

– Radisson Blu Royal Hotel (****) – Reserve a room
– Hotel Metropole – Reserve a room
– Hotel Orts (***) – Reserve a room
– NH Atlanta (****) – Reserve a room

If you plan on visiting Prague as well, you should not miss out on the great river cruises in Prague!

Some days after the Norah Jones concert in Dublin, she will come to Vorst Nationaal in Brussels to perform there. The Norah Jones concert will be arranged on September 12th and it will start at 20.00. This will be a concert with atmosphere, and if you are fed up with rain and waffles in Brussels, then this concert will be a refreshment to your soul and spirit. If you need more refreshments even after the concert, then maybe you should visit Comme Chez Soi in Brussels for food with two Michelin stars?
