LEITRIM  SET
	© 2008   Larry E. Taylor
	This set is from County Leitrim, Ireland.
	Swing in waltz hold.
	Ladies chain:  ladies grasp right hands at waist-height and dance on to the opposite
	(gent who has danced into his partner's position); take left hands and form an arch;
	the lady dances under the arch and around and the gent follows the lady around;
	ladies also chain with one another when dancing to home.
	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).
	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.
	First side couple is on the left of the first top couple.
