This is a lively set dance that has gained popularity among old-style step dancers around the world, thanks to the teaching of Labasheeda, County Clare dancers Dan Furey and James Keane, who originally brought it to the dance classes at the Willie Clancy Summer School. I learned this dance several times before it ‘stuck,’ but it finally did, after a workshop in Boston with Michael Tubridy. Michael and his wife Céline have carried on the steps and style of Dan Furey through their own teaching and performing, and their invaluable book and DVD entitled A Selection of Irish Traditional Step Dances.
