Mr Red Life After Covid? (16) RE: Life After Covid? 03 Aug 21

Incidentally a figure of 32 makes more sense as I am sure you will agree?

Wot? County Bumpkin with 3 full sets leave 2 sitting down and a lot of space on the dance floor. 100 to a ceilidh has a better feel. But if you mean Irish Set, then 32 would get everyone off the dance floor, if the gender ration is 50% (rarely is).

And have you tried Socially Distanced Irish Set? Well it just isn't the same. The best you can say is that is is a right larf - the caller is inventing "no touching" moves during the run through and forgets what he has explained and reverts. Which isn't helped by "house" having meanings in context like House Around, House Inside or House Across. Irish being fast and furious they just shout HOUSE. (think polka)

Irish Set Dance is changing during COVID. And I see a watershed.
