Answer:
Irish Dance tunes fall under the categories of reels, jigs, or hornpipes. If you are looking for something more upbeat then you want reels. I would recomend slip jigs if you want something soft and pretty, "The Butterfly" is a good example. Many of the more appealing songs are set dances. Some of my favorite are "King of the Fairies", "Blue Eyed Rascal", and "The Downfall of Paris". If you want a fun song to dance to then try "Cotton Eyed Joe" by the Chieftains.
