CALEDONIAN SET

The version listed here is closest to that in Pat Murphy's "The Flowing Tide". Other published instructions for this dance differ some in quite significant ways. Other sources include Larry Lynch's "Set Dances of Ireland", Terry Moylan's "Irish Dances" and Tom Quinn's "Irish Dancing.

FORMATION

First Sides to the LeftSquare Set of four couples, Gents on the left of their partners. First Top Couple have their backs to the band, with Second Top Couple opposite them. First Side Couple are on the left of First Top Couple (when facing into the set) and Second Side Couple are opposite them (to the right of First Tops).

STEPS

Traditionally the Reel and Hornpipe figures are danced with smooth flowing steps pushing flat along the floor. The Jig figure uses the down jig.
