There is an additional type of Irish dance which is recently coming back into the spotlight. Sean-nos (or old-style) dancing is a lovely form of solo dancing. It used to be the primary domain of men with an emphasis on flat-foot battering (the closest comparison would be American tap-dancing which it is believed had part of its influence through the exchange of steps between Irish working on the railroads and the African-Americans who worked alongside them). One of the finest practitioners of sean-nos dancing is Aidan Vaughan from Miltown Malbay, Co. Clare who visits the Delaware Valley every May with the Matt Cunningham Band. Aidan always steps it out at said ceili. There are numerous videos on YouTube showing both old clips and more recent ones. There is also a close similarity to Cape Breton stepdancing which is also undergoing a revival.
