RISING STARS

RISING STARS OF SONG AND DANCE IN CONCERT FOR BALLINA ARTS CENTRE

Some of the best rising stars of song and dance will be showcased at a Variety Show-style evening in the TF Royal Theatre, Castlebar, on Friday 30th April. Five nationally- and internationally-acclaimed local-based performing groups have joined forces to stage the concert to help raise funds the Ballina Arts Centre Redevelopment campaign.  The evening will include traditional Irish music and dance, hip-hop, songs from the musicals and swing performed by members of the Sylvan Kelly School of Dance, Aine Egan’s Danceworld, The All-Star Academy (under the direction of Lavinia Gilmartin, Michael Slater and Patrick Lacken), The Bofield Céílí Band and Cheryl Nolan and the Lambe Academy.  

The show will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see some of the very best of local talent including Réalta (the current World Champion Senior Vocal Group, who will perform music from the musicals); World Champion Irish Dancer, Heather Carr; a group of young Irish dancers who recently appeared in TG4’s Glas Vegas; the Hip-hop Masters 2010 winners from Danceworld; songs from the Bofield Céílí Band's last two albums, as well as a host of other performers still to be announced.
