Last week’s America’s Got Talent performance was massively well received, with a standing ovation from the live audience. Some viewers described having goosebumps, or feeling that their hair was standing on end.

Among the dancers taking part was three-time world champion Gerard Byrne from Donegal Town. His family and friends at home are all extremely proud of the dancer and his incredible achievements to date. 

Here is a selection of the social media reaction to the performance:

"Y'all are always stunning performers!! Thank you for your hard work and all the joy and smiles you bring to so many"
