"Shooyl Inneenyn" is a popular dance from the Isle of Man. The title means<br> "Promenade of the Girls" in Manx. It’s most likely that it was originally two tunes<br> that were put together for the purpose of the dance but the tunes are always played<br> as one now. The first tune is a slow air and the second is a fast reel. The slow<br> part of the tune is also known as "Myr Hooyl Mee Magh Moghrey Laa Boaldyn" which<br> means "When I went out on May Day morning".<br> The dance was said to have been performed by girls at the Michaelmas (the Feast of<br> St. Michael and All Angels, celebrated on the 29th of September) hiring fair, as a way<br> of attracting employers.<br> A video sample of the dance is available on the Internet at: <br> http://www.manxmusic.com/video_window_130894.html<br> It was recorded by Ensemble Galilei on Music in the Great Hall (1992). They play it<br> in a medley with "Illiam Y Thalhear" and "The Flitter Dance" which are both in this<br> section.<br>
