Sacchidānanda

Sacred Heart of The Burren

Spirit of The Dance The Mullagh Half Set Set dance tunes are mostly in two-four Or common time With a few in six-eight time. Spirit of the dance. The tunes correspond to some peculiarity Of time measure and length Found in the set dances themselves. Spirit of the dance. Dance light on the toes Or on the ball of the foot Elbows close to sides. Spirit of the dance. Forearms bent upwards Lady’s hands crossed at the wrists Palms down heels together Jump with light rising steeps. Spirit of the dance. Whether your dancing The Mullagh half-set To the Tulla Céilí Band & Clare set Or the Glenside Kilrush Céilí Band & Plain set. Spirit of the dance. Or the Kilfenora Céilí Band playing out a set by Martin Hayes Kieran Hanrahan Danny Burke Paddy Canny Or Neil Galvin. Spirit of the dance.
