Background: Ennis is a town in County Clare on the west side of Ireland. This dance represents the battle when Ennis was sieged. The dance is known as a progressive dance because the dancers move forward to meet a new line of dancers on each repetition of the dance sequence.

Grade: 5th - High School

Formation: Lines of four dancers facing each other. Dancers are organized in partners standing side by side. For example: The dance begins with the blue lines facing each other, the brown lines facing each other and the green lines facing each other. If there is not an even number of 8 for a set the extra set can begin the dance at the end as shown with the black X line. As the dance proceeds the lines on the left of the set move forward and under an arch made by the dancers in the right set. As a result the lines face a new line each time the dance is repeated.
