There are many types of formal Irish dance; jigs, reels, hornpipes, sets, half sets, polkas and step dances. The stage productions of Irish dance were called 'Riverdance' and 'Lord of the Dance'
When a group of people get together informally to Irish dance it is called a 'céili' (pronounced kay-lee), this is often called 'céile dancing'.

Clogging is not a term for Irish dancing, but a term for a Western style of dancing that offshoots of Low British dancing, taking bits of Irish, bits of Scottish, bits of tap, you know.
Irish jig is not another term for Irish dancing, because it's more specific where Irish dancing is a general term (Irish reel and Irish hornpipe for example, also fall under the category of Irish dancing).
As previously mentioned, ceilidh (as it can also be spelled) is a term used, but it's more social, and resembles square dancing more than the stuff you see on Riverdance.
It can be called stepdancing in some instances, but the preferred term actually is Irish dancing.

No Gaeilge words are easy to pronounce if you don't know the language. So I suggest 'Rhythmical Magical Feet of the Dance."
