Irish dancing is a type of traditional group dance that was created in Ireland hundreds of years ago and has been practised ever since in countries all over the world. Irish dancing can be used as a type of social dance , called a céilí. Céilís can be preformed with as little as two people and up to 16 people. They involve couples dancing together in a line or circle to traditional Irish music. Céilís are often preformed in Gaeltacht communities as a way of bonding and getting to meet new people. They are also preformed in Irish colleges across the country.
