BALLYVOURNEY REEL SET |
|
© 2008 Larry E. Taylor |
|
| |
This set is from County Cork, Ireland. It is very similar to the CUIL AODHA SET. |
| |
Except for the sevens/threes, a moderately lively, polka step is to be danced (down-2-3). |
| |
Gents dance forward on the left foot and ladies begin forward on the right foot. |
| |
Sevens and Threes: Partners stand side-by-side without touching; dance sevens |
| (1-2-3-4-5-6-7 in gallop-style with beginning weight on the trailing foot) to bypass | |
| one another; the partner dancing to the right, dances to the rear of his/her partner; | |
| dance two threes in-place (down-2-3, down-2-3); dance sevens then threes back to | |
| the starting point; the pattern is to be danced low-to-the-floor (non-céilí style). | |
| |
Swing in waltz hold. |
| |
Bar counts (quantities of measures) for patterns are shown in bold. |
| |
The total bar count for each Figure includes an eight-bar introduction of music. |
| |
Documentation is based upon workshops taught by Tom Hastings on November 15, |
| 1996, at Cleveland, Ohio USA and a Come Dance With Me In Ireland video. | |
