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). | 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.
