'The Devil's in the Dancehall' to make its way to Offaly

The award-winning dancer and choreographer Edwina Guckian's renowned 'The Devil's in the Dancehall' is coming to Offaly next month.

The event, which sees Guckian and The Gralton Big Band guide attendees through a 1930s dancehall re-enactment alongside actors, singers and the live band, will be taking place at Cloghan Hall on Saturday, December 5.

The show will also be coming to nearby Ballinasloe on Saturday, December 12 at the town's Emerald Ballroom.

During the event, the audience will be invited to join in the set, as swing, trad, foxtrot, slow sets, sean nós, shim-shamming, lindy hop, and set dancing take place. People are encouraged to attend dressed in 1930's gear.

In July, 'The Devil's in the Dancehall' officially launched the 2026 Féile na Sionainne at Moore Hall, in Ballydangan, near Athlone, to great acclaim. For further information and to purchase tickets see www.edwinaguckian.com
