A Little Rain Falls on Siege of Ennis


It rained in Ennis (surprise) but it didn't seem to dampen the spirits much for the Special Olympics fundraiser. Around 6,000 people turned out to dance The Siege of Ennis. Watch the video.

Here's how the dance is done professionally; it's nice, but it's much more fun with a big crowd of people.

These are the study notes with detailed instrctions on how to dance it: "Two couples line up facing two couples in lines of four ..."

It's a ceili dance but is often danced as well by set dancers.
