ES 152 - Irish Set Dance

Set dancing is a traditional form of Irish dancing dating from the 18th Century. Originally brought from the continent back to rural Ireland by returning soldiers, this is the ancestor of the American Square and involved groups (“sets”) of eight dancers moving in increasingly intricate patterns to fast music. This is the most popular form of Irish social dance in Ireland and abroad.
