Clare Lancers Set

The Clare Lancers Set is one of the most popular dances in the Irish Set Dancing repertoire.

As the name suggests it hails from the Clare area on the mid-west coast of the Republic of Ireland.

Other published instructions for this dance include Larry Lynch's Set Dances of Ireland, Terry Moylan's Irish Dances, Pat Murphy's Toss the Feathers and Tom Quinn's Irish Dancing.
