Kildare dancers to feature on next episode of TG4 show An Ríl Deal this Sunday

A new series of An Ríl Deal is back on our screens as TG4 and Adare Productions are looking for the next big thing in the World of Irish Dancing. 

The second episode features exciting entertainers from Rince Rhythm (Dublin City/Kildare), Damhsóirí Figiúir Chill Dara (Newbridge, Kildare) and Ruby Hoare (Ballyfermot, Dublin). 

As welll as Limerick's Naomi Harris (originally from California, Limerick City) and also Anna Leonard (Fedamore), from Westmeath – Ellie Quinn (Mullingar) and from Wicklow – Ben Neville (Carnew). 

Fantastic performers of all styles of traditional dance will entertain viewers over eight episodes on the show; from Step dancers, Sean-Nós dancers to Set dancers, even a fusion of all styles will be seen.  There are no age restrictions on the dancers- young and old and everything in between will be showing us their moves! Solo dancers, Duos and Groups. 

Keeping a close eye on all the talented hopefuls are our three judges, all experts in the field of Irish dance; Labhras Sonaí Choilm Learraí (Galway), Úna Ní Fhlatharta (Maynooth, Kildare) and Ronan O’Connell (Galway-Cairde Dance Company). 

Presented by Síomha Ní Ruairc, the series will feature dancers and groups from many counties across the country, including Westmeath, Kildare, Galway, Limerick, Dublin, Clare, Kerry, Wicklow, Mayo, Cork, Leitrim, Laois, Meath, Donegal, Derry, Antrim and Down. 

Each week will feature different dancers as they battle it out with show-stopping numbers in the hopes of reaching the finale to be crowned winners of An Ríl Deal. 

An Ríl Deal will air over eight weeks, starting on Sunday, March 10 at 8.30pm on TG4 and on the TG4 Player - TG4.ie.
