Set Dancing Workshop with Joe McGorrin

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, and usually consist of three to six Figures with a short pause between each. They are derived from French Quadrilles which were brought to Ireland in the nineteenth century. Irish dancers adapted the figures to their own music and steps to form dances with great drive and enjoyment. Set Dancing is the most popular way of dancing in Ireland and has passionate supporters worldwide.
