Scottish Country Dancing is the beautiful "ballroom" dance of Scotland, a social dance form with roots stretching back for centuries. Enjoy both traditional and modern dances. Participants are grouped into sets, typically three to five couples arranged either in two lines (men facing ladies) or in a square, and work together in the dance. Dancers should wear comfortable clothes and soft shoes such as gillies, ballet slippers or jazz shoes. Ladies will find that skirts help them to enjoy the natural flow of the dance. Kilts are not required, but are heartily encouraged.
