    I took Scottish Country Dance lessons in the late 80s, and I remember really enjoying this one once I got the hang of it, but it's pretty tricky (and fast).

    Sadly the spoken narrative (voice) distracts from any enjoyment from this, best use subtitles for instructions that can be turned off when not required. Good luck. 💜

    I’ve always hugely enjoyed Scottish Country Dancing, and attended RSCDS Summer School for very many years, always having unforgettably good times . Looking back on it all these years later, I cannot help but wonder if it has somehow lost

    Insofar as my affection for Scottish Country Dancing occasionally falters, what better than Dr Pettigrew's painstaking breakdown, to revive it ??
