Search to find best Irish dancers

THE search is on for this year's An Gig Jig Champion on TG4. Over the past two years thousands of Irish dancers have attempted to be crowned TG4's Best Traditional Irish Dance Act. All forms of Irish dancing are eligible for the series, from step dancing to brush dancing, from Sean-nós dancing to set dancers. This is the ultimate free-for-all Irish dance competition and a celebration of all the Irish dancing traditions. Hosted by Róisín Ní Thomáin, the show will again see hundreds of dancers take to the stage. To apply to take part in the competition, visit the TG4 website www.tg4.ie/jiggig and fill out the short application form. All applicants will be contacted to confirm a time and venue for their audition. Auditions will take place nationwide from August 4 to 6.
