DROMGARIFF  HALF  SET
	© 2008   Larry E. Taylor
	This set is from County Limerick, Ireland.
	Chain:  With hands at waist-level for all contacts, ladies grasp and release right hands
	in the center and take left hands with the opposite gent (who has danced to his
	partner’s position) and they dance around one another anticlockwise (no arch).
	In Figure 1, the ladies do not touch when going home but do touch in the
	I center in Figure 2.
	Swing in waltz hold.  There is only one swing in the set.  If dancers have an issue with
	swinging (dizziness, knee-problems, etc.), substitute a dance at home (two
	revolutions) for the single eight-bar swing.
	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.
