The joy of Set Dancing

Set Dancing has filled the country with love

and its appeal has spread far and wide

all age groups thrill in this venture

and many double step in stride.

Most dances start with a lead around

That's eight bars danced round and back home

It's one of the most popular forms of a set start

And a foundation for joys to come

When couples finish on a "double up"

They hold their partners very near

With confidence and synchronized movement

It's a spectacle the audience holds dear

So take to the floor and make a start

And embrace the various moves

The energy and concentration you'll invest

Allows you taste one of life's great loves.
