Céilí Afro Dabke Ukraine

with Catherine Young Dance

Backstage Theatre leaf motif

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, dance, and multicultural celebration!

After the incredible success of last September’s world music céilí dance on the Square, we’re continuing our 30th anniversary celebrations with another spectacular Céilí Afro Dabke Ukraine.

Led by Catherine Young Dance & The Welcoming Project, this high-energy, world music céilí dance will bring together dance styles from across the globe, including Palestinian Dabke, Afro-Brazilian, West African, and Ukrainian Folk Dance, before rounding off the night with the joy of traditional Irish Céilí dancing.

Powered by world-class live musicians and dancers, this is a free, inclusive event where everyone is welcome—whether you want to dance, try something new, or simply soak up the vibrant atmosphere. Join us on the Square to dance, celebrate, and connect with neighbours from around the world!
