Irish Dancing involves many different dances. Competitive Irish Dancing however has four main ones. These are the reel, the jig, the hornpipe, and the treble jig. The jig however probably is the most widely known among Americans that don't Irish dance.
In simple terms, extremely. Within Ireland itself there are two governing Irish Dancing boards - An Comhdháil and An Coimisiún. An Comhdháil, is thought to have a greater number of Irish Dancers in Ireland, whilst An Coimisiún it is believed, has a greater international base. There are no published figures detailing the exact following (that I have been able to find) but both groups are thought to have in excess of between 1,500 and 2,000 dancers each. There are currently branches of both boards in Australia, England, Isreal, Scotland, Eastern Europe, the USA and India.

Who invented tap dance?
William Henry Lane (1825 - 1852) was known as Master Juba and the "Juba dance," also known as "Pattin' Juba," was a mix of European Jig, Reel Steps, Clog and African Rhythms. It became popular around 1845. This was, some say, the creation of Tap in the Americas.A uniquely American dance form, tap dance is the fusion of British Isles Clog and Step dancing with the rhythms of West African drumming (the tap sounds were used to replace the beats of the drums.) Consequently, African dance styles became more formal and diluted, while European elements became more fluid and rhythmic.
