I have heard it referred to as a highland swing. Is that incorrect?

Hi Deborah,
The words get re-used to mean lots of things 😊
In England a Ceildih Swing is quite often as you describe.
The spelling of Ceilidh indicating that it is an English term rather than
an Irish term (as Ceili tends to imply).
Happy dancing,
John

A ceili swing is actually a different hold, at least to ceili dancers.
It's a gender-free swing, right hands on each other's waist, left hands
grasped underneath.
