Irish Set Dancing

What is it?
Set dancing is a form of social dancing which has been popular in Ireland for over 150 years. Sets are danced by four couples in a square. They are descended from the French quadrilles, and English country dances, and are therefore a relative of American square dances and contra dances. 

What it is not:
Step dancing. In no way whatsoever does this look anything like Riverdance.

Why you might want to do it:
It’s a lot of fun. It is truly a social dance. It definitely counts as exercise. Set dancers tend to be nice people who like having fun, and you probably want more people like this in your life.

Beginners are quite welcome. All dances are being taught.
