Rather than a short post for each set, here’s one big post of sets that we got pictures of.

Friday set workshop
It was great fun, we learned a fast and frantic Ballingeary Jig Set followed by an easier set whose name I forget at the moment.
As always Padraig and Roisin were great instructors although they’re human too and messed up one set. Naturally I have that on video and the rest of the Club Rince Ghaelaigh will see it as Susan and I pass on the sets we’re learning.
Fun time.
Manhattan Tour
Today was the day to do something un-dance like. Susan, Jean and I went on a bus tour of New York. It was an interesting and lazy way to spend the day.
*sigh* Day 1
The first day is done. Our legs are tired, I have Oban warming my insides and a beer (Blue Moon) in my hand.
The end of a good day.
Baile Bhuirne Jig Set
Susan and I didn’t know this one so we sat it out and watched.
Jean got pulled in though and said that it was pretty easy since the others knew what they were doing.
Swinging through the Claddagh Set
First set we didn’t dance but it was fun to watch the people spinning about.
Cashel set
Rough and tumble set but nobody died.
