Hi Gerry, this old thread: Irish Ceilidh Dance Steps (click) may be of some use, I hope, and cotains links to other places.

If you mean English ceilidh rather than Irish ceili then Webfeet has a good index of sources.

Being a caller I have notation for loads of English, Irish and Scottish dances - simple and complicated - what do you need?

Now the range of dances is not vast ... er make that one... but go via cresby.com to get one so hot of the press.... Danced at Cheltenham Festival, Waltz or Polka. Written at a workshop at the festival and we had some excellent callers assisting.
Give it a go - Sarah the Flute may try it 2nite so a bit more feedback.
Also on my homepage is the Link to Webfeet, it lists a whole swag of resources but a lot are EFDSS type because they are more into order and system (I went to one and wasn't the yougest person there!!!) and squares and contra. But there are some sites you seek
When all else fails try e-ceilidh, it is an e-mail system where you invite junk mail but there are nuggets in there - it just depends on what you require. I am (will re-try) about to give it another go for a week, but the first time I felt I had to answer every request for a band or tune until I realised you have to read and ignore by and large.
Tell me what you find I want more ideas to publicise the dance called "Cheltenham Festival" - its a bit of an ad for the "do" but none the worse for it.
