Is there a difference between Irish jigs and Irish step-dancing and if so, what is it? If you know more, please tell me! Thanks!

Also, one more thing I would like to know is when you are doing the dances, do you have your arms stiff at your side or hold them behind your back?

Different steps are used for a jig and the step dancing.

I don't know enough about anything Irish to know the exact different between Irish jigs and Irish step-dancing, but I have done something of the sort, and as far as I know, your arms are stiff at your sides, but I suppose that can vary.

Irish jigs are specific steps in Irish step dancing. the most basic two types of steps are jig steps and reel steps. the main difference b/t the two are that the steps and rhythm is counted differently.
