Shaylyn Irish Dance Show is Hottest Ticket in Town!
Leitrim may be home of the ambitious and talented Shaylyn collective but Donegal and Bundoran is host to the first ever performance season for the groups flagship production, Shaylyn The Show – A Celebration of Irish Dance Through the Ages.
The well-loved show will run at Eclipse Cinemas, Bundoran every Wednesday in July and August starting the 1st of July at 8pm nightly. Booking is available now at the cinema on 071 98 29999.
This summer season of Shaylyn performances has been made possible by the new Traditional Music & Dance Initiative by Fáilte Ireland and by John O’Connell and Martin Barrett who have given the use of the cinema in order to bring a quality cultural product to Bundoran.
So what can people expect when they come to see Shaylyn? The show tells the story of Irish Dance through the ages from earliest beginnings in ancient Ireland to the present day and has something for everyone, all ages, all interests – even those who think they’re not a trad fan! Believe us when we say you can’t watch this show without tapping feet and a smile on your face. You will be entertained and you will want to see it again and again!
The show was launched with a full performance for local and tourism trade on the 3rd of June.
Shaylyn started ten years ago when three sisters, Jane, Laura and Martha Gilheaney from Ballinamore decided that dancers should have an existence outside of competition. They formed The Shaylyn Group as a community performance group that aimed to seek performance and development opportunities for mainly Irish dancers beyond the classroom and competition experience.
The sisters developed an idea for a ‘show’ and when word got out they were soon swamped with interest from dancers, singers and musicians from the region. The sisters had no idea when they started Shaylyn where it would take them. To date they have performed around Ireland on platforms such as the main stage at the Rose of Tralee, to Poland, Germany, England and France (many times) and even to Broadway where they performed at the Town Hall on 42nd Street in 2004.
For booking information call Bundoran Cineplex on 00353 (0)71 9829999. Tickets also available from Bundoran Tourist Information Office.
