This set was composed by Frank Roddy of Derry, Ireland. The set is also known as |
| the DERRY SET. | |
| |
Swing in waltz hold. |
| |
Gents begin forward on the left foot and ladies begin forward on the right foot. |
| |
Ladies Chain: With a waist-level hold for all contacts, ladies give right hands in |
| the center, dance to and give left hands to the opposite gent (who has danced into | |
| his partner's position); couples dance around one another (no arch); the ladies | |
| also chain to home, right-hand-in-right. | |
| |
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. |
| |
First side couple is on the left of the first top couple. |
| |
Documentation is based upon a workshop taught by Pat Murphy at |
| Toronto, Canada on April 20, 2001. | |
