Irish Set Dancing is a fusion of many influences both from Ireland and abroad. It is thought soldiers returning from wars in Europe in the 18 & 19th centuries brought back dances, many of French origin, that were mainly danced by the aristocracy. These dances were enthusiastically embraced by the Irish, who put their own particular stamp on them, dancing to reels, jigs, hornpipes, polkas, and slides with great rhythm and passion.
