INIS  MEAIN  SET
	© 2008   Larry E. Taylor
	This set is from the Aran Islands of County Galway, Ireland.
	Chain:  High follow  —  Ladies first take a waist-level hold right-hand-to-right
	in the center then dance on to the opposite gent (who has danced into his
	partner's position);  partners take left hands and form an arch;  the lady
	dances anticlockwise under the arch and the gent follows her around;
	ladies do not chain when dancing to home.
	Swing in ceili hold.
	Figure One is danced as a half set (two couples).  The First Couple begins the figure
	with backs to the music (as does First Top couple of a full set).
	Figure Two is danced as a full set (four couples).
	Gents begin forward on the left foot and ladies begin forward on the right foot.
	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 led by Pat Murphy, Seamus Ó Méalóid
	and Eileen O'Doherty.
