Traditional Irish dance performances

Back in 2005, my wife and I traveled through Ireland and saw the Ragus traditional Irish dance and music show while staying on the island of Inishmore. It doesn't appear that Ragus shows are available anymore. Does anyone have suggestions where I could find a similar show? We are visiting Ireland again in July (with our teens) and would like to find a similar show. We will be in Ireland for 22 days starting in Dublin and working our way north around the island including Northern Ireland: Dublin, Trim, Belfast area, Antrim coast, Derry, Westport, Clifden, Aran Islands, The Burren, Dingle, Ring of Kerry (for Skellig Michael), Killarney National Park, Kinsale, Cobh, Cahir and Rock of Cashel, and Kilkenny.

Thanks for asking Claudia. I've clarified our destinations in the original topic description.

So 2 countries, Ireland and N Ireland.

Pre the pandemic one could find “ trad music and dance” at these venues.

Belfast:
Points Irish Whiskey and Alehouse

Dublin:

Also found that by asking pub personnel one could find who might be performing and where.

EDIT: thats a-lot of ground to travel in 22 days. i’ve driven the island twice and learned early on to slow down to enjoy the natural beauty. Have a plan but be flexible.

Slainte and Cheers
