Hi Donna,

              I don’t know what the Irish call it, but these are some names I know of:

The Wedding Cake Swing

The Sweetheart Swing

The 19th Century Waltz Hold Swing

            Happy dancing,

Hi All:

I learned a swing from Irish dancing, but don't remember what it's called.  It's the swing with the left hands joined and arched over the heads of the dancers and the right hands on each others waists.  I call it the "ceili" swing...what would you call it?
