VICTORA  NEWMARKET  SET
	© 2008   Larry E. Taylor
	This set is from Counties Cork and Kerry, Ireland.
	Swing in waltz hold.
	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.
	Square the Set (8 bars):  In waltz hold, all couples slide to the next position on the
	right; gents begin on the left foot and ladies on the right foot — slide, step,
	1-2-3; during the three, turn one-quarter clockwise (partners would thus
	alternately face into- then out-of-the-set when dancing to subsequent positions)2;
	repeat the preceding two-bar pattern to each position on the right; gents stamp
	the left feet on the final beat6.
	Documentation is based upon notes by Larry Lynch.  The set is similar to the multiple
	VICTORIA  sets posted to this website.
