I am sure that Kalia will kill me for this (as I know she knows) but
the dance is really Pride of the Pingle by the late Ken Alexander (UK).
Someone from the USA saw it in the UK, misheard the name, assumed it
was Irish and called it Pride of the Dingle when they called it in the
USA. Such is the folk process! BTW the 'Pingle' referred to is a local
housing estate (neighborhood) near where Ken lived.

Thanks to everyone for your great responses! I’ve
taken notes, looked
up dances, watched videos, and will be ready (without panic) for the
next dance where we have very few dancers.
Kalia, I love Pride of Dingle and did call it that night as a 7-
person dance. I had Dingle skip the last left-hand allemande and no
one was any wiser. I ran it through so all the ladies could be Dingle
twice and the last time I had Dingle join the line on the gents’ side
of the set so all the gents had a chance to be Dingle one time
through.
