June 20th ceili at the Neale House

Anyone who attended the celebratory ceili on Saturday with Kieran Jordan and The Kitchen Quartet and took some good photos or videos, please share them with me. I was so busy with greeting, dancing, and cake and tart preparations, I was not able to take photos. I am putting together a book of essays and photos of ten years of Neale House ceilis. Next one coming up will be New Year's Eve...and there's some talk already about The Kitchen Quartet returning... Thanks, Cynthia Neale Continue

new videos, pictures etc

Many thanks to Peter for adding the Melleray Lancers set. This shows the power of the site, we can share set dance videos, music and pictures with other members. If we had more people adding things, the site would continue to grow and also benefit a wider audience.

"The Borlin" at Harrington's

It's a very nondescript title, but it's a great little video: Watch "MVI 0004" Added by Larry Tormey. It's a set of dancers at Harrington's in Wakefield dancing "The Borlin." The best part is that none of the dancers were aware that Larry was even taking a movie. One of the "stars" in the video just saw it for the first time this week. It has been posted for a while. I just wanted to point it out so you wouldn't miss it. Thanks Larry! Great video. Continue

Although this social network website was started by Boston set dancers, it is open to everyone. Set dancers are known to travel great distances for special set dancing events. It's also nice to know about dancing available in other locations as we travel for our other purposes.

If you have a group and want to post information about it, this social networking website is a handy tool to get the word out.

Need help getting a group or calendar started? Contact frank@joyofsets.com (or "send a message," if you are a member) for assistance.
