i beg to differ! battering makes it more interesting to watch rather than 1,2,3's the whole time but yes can be over done with batters but not really!!!
Each set should be danced in its own traditional style. There are sets which should be battered and others which should not. And if battered, it should be done properly: battering not banging, the right style to the right set etc. Or, does it make any sense to dance lets say Connemara set doing clare style battering?
well it depends on the situation in say competition when people are watching what youre doing or when your doing a presentation then ya but set ancing is fun when im at a ceili i just do whaever batters flows into my feet not what one goes with the set and personally i find doing the connemara step is qute boring its good for sean nos but i wouldnt do it at say a ceili cuz ur having too much fun at ceilis to be worrying about if your doing it rigt or not
just trying to learn this dance at class this video will be bery useful . I love this dance

This is great, as is. With due respect to the clarebannerman, I think battering is a bit overdone.
