Shakefest highlight back in Charleville Castle for pre-Christmas show

Egyptian oriental dance performer and instructor Joana Saahirah was the highlight of Shakefest 2012 in Charleville Castle last May. Now organisers are delighted to reveal Joana is coming back again before Christmas with specialised dance workshops and a unique performance. Joana will deliver workshops and a performance at Charleville Castle on Saturday next, December 15 at 7.30pm. Locals have been invited to join in the fun of "Eid El Adha" ("An Egyptian Christmas) at the fundraising event in aid of the Charleville Castle Restoration Fund. Joana will conduct three workshops of different levels in the classical and saiidi/tahtib style, and while some skill is needed for the workshops people of all and indeed no dance ability can enjoy her performance. Those attending should bring an offering of refreshment to share with others or a charitable financial donation of €10 or more.
