====History and background====
Irish {{lang|ga|céilí}} regained its popularity in the late 19th century, when Ireland made efforts to regain its cultural and political autonomy after being colonized for more than 800 years. The goal of the Gaelic League established in 1893 was to promote Irish cultural independence and de-[[anglicisation]], which involved the remergent popularization of the Irish language, literature, and vernacular traditions, such as Irish singing and dancing. Plentiful branches of the Gaelic League giving dance, singing, music, and literature classes were established across Ireland.<ref>{{Cite journal | last=Foley| first=Catherine| title=The Irish Céilí: A site for constructing, experiencing, and negotiating a sense of community and identity |journal=Dance Research |year=2011 |volume=29 |issue=1 |pages=43–60 |doi=10.3366/drs.2011.0004 |jstor=41428389|hdl=10344/4695 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>
