Seige of Ennis - very popular dance, you'll get it on Youtube.
If your 'Irish' wedding in USA is anything like over here in UK, don't even
think about trying to teach 'em 3's & 7's!

I've been asked by a bride for a ceili wedding. She was very specific
about wanting Irish music, which i booked, but she was very vague about
what ceili dancing was. She said " not really sure the names of the
dances, we had the one with torpedo, in lines, some squares, dosey does
spinning and such not sure if that helps."
I do know how to teach ceili, but going into great detail on 3s and 7s and
jig step didn't seem to really lend itself to a wedding. My plan was
definitely to include The Haymaker's Jig, Walls of Limerick, maybe Shoe the
Donkey, but not too get much more complicated than that, subbing in ONS
material from my regular wedding dances of squares, family dances, etc. but
done with a little more Irish styling.
So, any advice on more Irish dances that lend themselves well to weddings?
