GLENCREE  SET
	© 2008   Larry E. Taylor
	This set is from Wicklow County, Ireland.
	Step pattern:   Gents dance forward on the left foot and ladies begin forward
	on the right foot; the movement is the ordinary polka step of down-2-3
	for the Polka Figures and as shown below in the Waltz Figure.
	Swing in ceili hold.
	Chain:  Low follow  --   The gent takes forearm hold and follows the opposite
	lady around at his position; ladies do not chain on the way to home.
	Crossover and Lead Around waving:   Couples hold uncrossed hands above the
	lady’s head and swing them to the right (1 bar), to the left (1 bar), etc. as
	they dance across or around the set, with the lady leading, bringing the
	hands down to the front as the couple face-in, in-place; the arms should
	not be outspread during the movement but rather should be about the
	width of the lady’s shoulders.
	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 Connie Ryan at Cape May,
	New Jersey USA in October 1996.
