45 min performance / 15 min interval / 60 min dance party with a live band
Invoking the spirit of dance halls and dancing bodies of past and present, Country OK is a rollicking celebration of live performance, live music and a party that invites you to let loose and join in!
Featuring an inter-generational dance cast from across Tipperary, joined by professional dancers with a live band, Country OK will have you foot-tapping and hip-twisting to the heart-wrenching songs of country music - and the exhilarating nature of a fleeting moment of dancing together.
Following the performance there will be a dance party, inviting the audience to join in and let loose!
