KILFENORA  PLAIN  SET
	© 2008   Larry E. Taylor
	This set is from County Clare, Ireland.
	Set to partner:  Partners face one another, in respective home positions, and
	dance in-place without touching.
	Swing and house in waltz hold.
	Chain:  low hand follow:  With a waist-level hold for all contacts, ladies grasp right
	hands in the center and dance on to the opposite gent (who has danced into
	his partner's position);  partners take left hands and dance anticlockwise around
	one another (no arch) and the ladies dance to home without chaining in the center.
	Interlacing:  two couples dance four bars of a movement and as they begin the
	next four bars, the other two couples begin the four bars of the initial
	movement; interlacing in this set involves multiple movements (patterns).
	The set is danced very gently, with no battering.
	First side couple is on the left of the first top couple.
	Gents dance 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 a workshop taught by Jim Barry at Ellenville,
	New York USA on March 29, 2003.
