@jirihozpodebrad23 Try going to Connemara!

@ceili308 So is the way you do it in the Washington DC area really that authentic? And it's Skibereen actually not Skibeen, which is in County Cork by the way. The Connemara ladies' chain as danced in Connemara, as opposed to the Connemara ladies' chain as danced in Washington DC might be different. Check your sources! You might find that the way they do and did it in Connemara might be a little more authentic!

As regards the ladies Chain, yes the tradition is living but why do we all make all sets like every other set? Shouldn't they have their own style? Should all ladies' chains be the same, or borrowed frm a different area, or should we respect the original tradition? If we don't, we do everything in the same style and original regional diffenerces get blurred and forgotten. I think we should respect the tradition and not make all the same!

The Tamlin or Glasgow Reel

Yes, I have it here. He says ladies chain, left hand to opp. gent.. No further chain mentioned. Anything else you get a yellow card!

The men's turn used at the end of the ladies' chain is the gent facing forward move for the Claddagh and should not be used here. It should be be the follow her round move using left hand. Dances for exhibition should never mess about with the original, no matter what we do in Milltiown.

Who is to say what is a correct chain. Yes, we in the Washington D.C. area do the chain that way in the Claddagh and the Skibbeen. However, we do the Connemara chain two different ways.
Set dancing is folk dancing. The patterns are not cast in stone by a higher authority. In this case, the dance teacher chose a different interpretation. The moves were made for dramatic effect. And, they did the figure so well. It was a treat to watch them. As dancers, we should all be so good.
