The Best Irish Songs to Dance to Part 2

You may have seen my previous post on the best Irish songs to dance to. If not Click here for part one!

This previous list has a variety of Irish songs to dance to including slip jigs and reels. Although this list is perfect for getting a feel of the different kinds of Irish music, I thought I could add to it with some fun tunes that are perfect for warming up.


  • Star of the County Down by The High Kings
  • The Leaving of Liverpool by The Young Dubliners
  • The Rising of the Moon by The High Kings
  • I'm Shipping Up to Boston by the Dropkick Murphys
  • The Blood of Cu Chulainn by Jeff Danna and Mychael Danna
  • Crystallize by Lindsey Stirling
  • Dance Above the Rainbow by Ronan Hardiman
  • Siamsa by Ronan Hardiman
  • Doherty's Reel by The Dubliners
  • GD's by Flook
  • Celtic Fire by Ronan Hardiman
  • Dance of Love by Ronan Hardiman
  • Duelling Violins by Ronan Hardiman

Hopefully this part 2 will give some more variety between Irish pub-like songs and fiddle/flute harmonies that are used in dance shows like Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. Happy dancing!
