      This set is from County Waterford, Ireland.
      Chain:  ladies give right hands at shoulder-height to one another in the center and
          left-high-hands to the opposite gent; the ladies dance around the gent (no arch) and
          they do not touch as they return right-shoulder-to right to home.
      Bar counts for dance patterns are shown in bold.
      The total bar count for each Figure includes an eight-bar introduction of music.
      An ordinary—but lively—polka step (down-2-3) is to be danced throughout.
          Mr. Murphy demonstrated advance and retire as:  1, tap, 2, tap, 1-2-3.  He demonstrated
          the dance out at the end of the swing and balance in and out as:   lift (heel-up) on the
          back  foot, down on the  front  foot then down on the  back  foot (gents:  right, left,
          right – ladies:  left, right, left).    
      Documentation is based upon a workshop taught by Pat Murphy at Tralee,
          Ireland in January 2004.
