Welcome to the 'Shindig Festival' official Web Site.

Ballyroe Heights Hotel prides itself on offering guests the very best in service, top class facilities and all the comfort and relaxation of Tralee's leading Hotel. It is a Family owned hotel with Tea/Coffee making facilities in all the bedrooms.
The Hotel is set in large woodland and sloping gardens with magnificant views of the Slieve Mish Mountains and Tralee Bay.
The Main Ballroom has a Large Sprung Timber Floor and should prove very popular with set dancers.
We hope you can once again join us for one of Ireland's Premier Set Dance Weekends, where the music, dance and craic will be guaranteed to satisfy.
The 'Shindig' is a fun packed weekend of great Irish music, set dancing, Sean-Nós dancing, singing, story telling and the occasional pint of Guinness.
The weekend consists of a series of workshops (classes) on all aspects of Traditional Irish Set Dancing.
You will learn everything from the basic steps, movements and styles, to enable you to participate in our old style of house dancing or indeed the advanced battering steps used for the West Clare battering style of dancing.
