KILTIMAGH HALF SET |

|
 |
Only the first three Figures are danced
as a half set. |
 |
Swing in ceili hold. |
 |
Chain: Low follow -- With
a waist-level hand hold for all contacts, the ladies take |
|
right-hand-in-right-hand in the center then left-hand-in-left-hand with the opposite |
|
gent; the lady dances around the gent and he follows her (no arch); couples |
|
release left hands and the ladies dance back to home, without touching in the center. |
 |
Gents
begin dancing forward on the left foot and ladies begin forward on
the right foot. |
 |
Crossover: Holding
crossed-hands, couples dance forward to face the position on the left |
|
(that is, dance clockwise)2, then backward to opposite2; this crossover
must be |
|
danced fluidly with no delays at the side
position; the lady must move slightly ahead |
|
of the gent when both are dancing forward; the
gent must move slightly ahead |
|
of the lady when both are dancing backward. |
 |
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 couple:
In this half set, the First couple begins with backs to the
music (as does First |
|
Top Couple in a full set). However, if determined before the music starts,
the couples |
|
orientation can be otherwise. There is no First couple in the
final figure. |
 |
Documentation
is based upon a workshop taught by Padraig and Roisin McEneany at |
|
Cape May, New Jersey USA in October
2003. |
