Different types of dance and culture are easily available in larger communities and cities in Ireland, and in bringing such a variety Shake A Celebration of Dance helps link such creativity together at Charleville Castle, Tullamore. Shake consists of an educational series of dance workshops starting from 12pm Saturday, May 29th and Sunday, May 30th along with an evening of cultural performances starting at 7:30pm on Saturday, May 29th.
