The Waves of Torey is the name of a ceili dance with a distinctive duck/diving and rising figure like a series of waves on the ocean. Many tunes have been played as an accompaniment to the dance. Reg Hall (in A Few Tunes of Good Music, 2016, p. 194) notes that the dance swept through London Gaelic League brances in 1906; "'The Waves of Tory' and some succeeding dances were invented in Ireland using country-dance figures wedded to the steps and style of the 'London' figure dances" (referring to the four- and eight-hand reels, St. Patrick's Day and the Rinnce Fáda).
