|  | CLOGHANE - BRANDON SET | 
| © 2008  
    Larry E. Taylor  | |
|  | This set is from the Cloghane-Brandon area near Castlegregory in County Kerry, Ireland. | 
|  | Ladies Chain: With waist-level hold for all contacts, ladies give right hands in | 
| the center and dance on to the opposite gent (who has danced into his partner's | |
| position); partners take left and and dance around one another anticlockwise | |
| (no arch); ladies also chain right-hand-in-right when dancing to home. | |
|  | Swing in waltz hold. | 
|  | Quarterhouse When dancing the Quarterhouse, the first two bars at each position are | 
| to be a gentle zig-zag forward toward the next position -- gents step left as ladies | |
| step right then gents step right as ladies step left. Following the zig-zag, couples | |
| dance two bars to turn to-place at the next position. The gentle zig-zag and | |
| turn to-place is danced four times in dancing around the set. | |
|  | Crossover When dancing the crossover in Figure 5, an abrupt zig-zag is danced as opposite | 
| couples dance toward the center then dance two bars turning to-place at opposite. | |
|  | Gents dance forward on the left foot and ladies begin forward on the right foot. | 
|  | Bar counts (measure quantities) for patterns are shown in bold. | 
|  | The total bar count for each Figure includes an eight-bar introduction of music. | 
|  | First side couple is on the right of the first top couple. | 
|  | Steps: Dance an ordinary lift-2-3-4 for the hornpipes and an ordinary polka step | 
| (down-2-3) for the other Figures. | |
|  | Documentation is based upon a workshop taught by Tony Ryan at Ellenville, New York | 
| USA on October 25, 2003. | |
