Traditional Irish dances

[wingsunfurled]

Do you know the name of Irish dances ?

I've heard it could be ceilti but I'm not sure. I'd like to know the name of the dance that is performed by two people, a man and a woman with the arms straight along the body...
As a matter of fact, I wonder wether it is a solo dance performed by two people...

I think the word you ment was céilí but this is a different branch of Irish dancing, the type you are refering to is step dancing which can be from 2 to 16 people mostly with arms straight down. Step dancing can also be done solo and there are many different types of dances with varying music, time signiture, shoes worn and steps.
