MAYO  [CLEVELAND]  SET
	© 2008   Larry E. Taylor
	This is NOT a traditional set of Ireland.  Perhaps based upon the MAYO HALF SET,
	this Ohio USA creation dates to at latest the 1940s.  It is danced predominantly in
	Cuyahoga County, Ohio USA.  In August 2006, Ann Highland Reilly reported
	she well remembered dancing the set "right after the war" at both the eastside
	and westside Irish-American clubs in Cleveland.  She said she and others would
	have to teach the set to ones coming to the United States  from Ireland.  She
	further remembered the set having been danced "all night long," with SIEGE
	OF ENNIS and other ceili dances.
	The set is often danced with a lively, high-stepping ceili style (on-the-toes).
	Swing in ceili hold.
	House with crossed hands in front, rights on top.
	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 the Mayo Set having been danced at North Olmsted,
	Ohio USA in March 2005.
