Just to be clear, these are Scottish Country dances (similar to folk dances), quite different from the highly technical and competitive Scottish Highland dancing. They are danced in three orfour couple sets and, in fact some are quite well known such as Virginia Reel and Strip the Willow. Here are two we learned this week. Enjoy!
Just realized I am dancing in "The Dundee Whaler", green top in the set on the right!
ReplyDeleteVery well done. I really like seeing these videos. I did Highland dance for awhile.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
You'd be a natural. There are probably groups in your area.
DeleteWe used to do some of these dances at primary school but simpler and without the kilts and tartan!
ReplyDeleteIt's something all ages can do with a bit of practice.
DeleteWhat fun Scottish dancing is & good exercise!
ReplyDeleteIt's also excellent for keeping your brain working.
DeleteI love to see the mix of ages. That young girl in your set is just gorgeous (as are you!)
ReplyDeleteWe have quite a large youth group who dance the feet off the rest of us!
DeleteI have heard the Virginia Reel before, but Strip the Willow is new to me.
