What is Social Dance?

Ceili (Irish folk dancing)

(I start out in the front facing away)

Ceili dance is a form of Irish folk dancing, sort of like square dancing, but with (sometimes) set routines and cooler music. I practice it with Stanford Ceili, and a group of us often gather in the center of the dance floor during Friday Night Waltz or Jammix to do Ceili sets whenever a Polka or One-Step is played.
