An Ríl Deal to showcase Mayo dancer on TG4

A NEW series of An Ríl Deal is back on our screens as TG4 and Adare Productions look for the next big thing in the world of Irish dancing.

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, and even a fusion of all styles will be seen.

This Sunday's episode will feature dancer Ela Kohen Murray from Westport. The show will air on TG4 at 8.30 p.m. on Sunday.

Keeping a close eye on all the talented hopefuls are 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, each week will feature different dancers as they battle it out with showstopping numbers in the hopes of reaching the finale to be crowned winners of An Ríl Deal.

This is the ultimate free-for-all Irish dance competition and a celebration of all the Irish dancing traditions.
