Ceili dancing is a traditional form of Irish dance that is often performed in groups. It typically involves lively music, usually played on instruments like the fiddle, accordion, or bodhrán. Dancers perform a series of choreographed steps, often in pairs or larger formations, making it a social and communal activity. The dances are usually accompanied by Irish folk music and can vary in style and complexity. Ceili dancing is popular at social gatherings, such as weddings and festivals, where people of all ages come together to enjoy the rhythm and movement, fostering a sense of community and cultural heritage.
