A new series of An Ríl Deal is back on our screens as TG4 and Adare Productions are looking for the next big thing in the World of Irish Dancing. Fusion 9 from KNC Performing Arts Company from Kildare will be on TG4 this Sunday, April 7 at 8.30pm.
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, even a fusion of all styles will be seen. There are no age restrictions on the dancers- young and old and everything in between will be showing us their moves! Solo dancers, Duos and Groups.
Keeping a close eye on all the talented hopefuls are our three judges, all experts in the field of Irish dance; standing in for Labhras Sonaí Choilm Learraí for the another episode is dance artist, performer and teacher Sibéal Davitt (Dublin) as she joins Úna Ní Fhlatharta (Maynooth, Kildare) and Ronan O’Connell (Galway-Cairde Dance Company).

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.
The fifth episode (7/4/24) features exciting entertainers from Dublin – Sean Lawlor (Glasthule), Scoil Rince Dunphy (Dunphy School of Irish Dancing - Glasthule) and Rhys, Troy & Faith Watson Ormond (Swords).
The episode also features Rinceoirí Seite Kilcummin (Kilcummin, Co.Kerry), Emily Costigan (Mountmellick, Co. Laois) and Oriana Perez Ponce (Navan, Co Meath, originally from Chile).
