The Devil's in the DanceHall at Aula Maxima, Maynooth Kildare

🔥THE DEVIL’S IN THE DANCE HALL 🔥

This is the Grand Dance!

Once vibrant hubs of music, community and freedom, these dance halls came under fierce attack in the 1930s from church and state, who labelled them dangerous, immoral and “the devil’s work.” 

Now, 90 years on, the dancers rebel again! There’ll be no dance hall licence obtained for these grand dance nights, where the devil himself will be sure to sweep you off your feet on the dance floor.

Come dance to the roaring sound of The Gralton Big Band where Edwina Guckian will teach you all the moves and have you jazzing all night long. 

Expect swing, trad, foxtrots, slow sets and short skirts. Expect sean nós, shim-shamming, lindy hopping, set-dancing, and scandal! 

So come dressed in your finest 1930s gear, polish up your brogues, wear your boldest lipstick and make it a night you’ll never forget, dancing with the devil in the dancehall.
