Irish Folk Dancing is the original name for the genre of Irish Dancing that is performed by those within the festival community. This term was coined by folk revivalists in the 1920s to denote country dances and step dances that were popular during the 1800s. Festival is one of the oldest communities of Irish Dancing, emerging when Irish Folk Dancing was added to British Musical Festivals in the late 1920s in Northern Ireland. Most Festival Irish Dancing schools belong to the Festival Dance Teacher's Association, but some are independent. Educational establishments and youth organisations also participate in Festival Irish Dancing competitions. The Festival Irish Dancing community is found mainly in the eastern part of Ulster.
