SET  OF  ERIN
	© 2008   Larry E. Taylor
	Swing in waltz hold; the two-bar swings are more like a single turn in-place.
	Slide in and out:   when couples dance, adopt the open-waltz hold;  when all couples
	dance, partners adopt the open waltz hold then take in their respective corners with
	the arms placed lightly at the lower area of the back, forming a loose or casual circle.
	All may batter lightly (quietly).
	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.
	Documentation is based upon a video workshop led by Timmy McCarthy.
