Is there a difference? At a tribal gathering you often have wild music and dancing, or tribal warfare. Isn't dating much the same?

Gaelic social gathering, which usually involves playing Gaelic folk music and dancing. You can tell because the couples are disorganized for this to be a square dance or line dance

Originally, a ceilidh was a social gathering of any sort, and did not necessarily involve dancing.

Thanks for the cultural lesson, gentlemen! But as these were Greek butterflies I am thinking more along the lines of a butterfly bacchanal....

Don't all Scottish social gathering involve a bottle or two, and that after a bottle or two dancing, or some other form of random motion, is inevitable?

I guess these are turning out to be multi-cultural butterflies....
