  Spring School Of Scottish Dance Festival 2016. Quick Scotch Demonstration Team (NIzhny Novgorod).  A variation is danced - the first couple instead of stepping to the foot at the end of their second time through, change places with the fourth couple by dancing again the first 16 bars of the dance.

  This clip shows the last two repeats from a longer video (at a cracking pace). Even by this point there are problems with the unusual sequence of LH across followed by RH across in the last 8 bars. The camera view does not completely cover the nearest set.

  The "gypsy" turns in the instructions (a term considered offensive by some) are here referred to as "right shoulder round" - though the video looks as though hands may be taken?

  Note that this video was recorded before the dance name and choreography was finalised (on youtube its just called "Judith's Dance"). In particular the video shows two half circles separated by set and cross whereas the final version has circle and back without interruption with all the setting & crossing before and after. Hence marked as "Reasonable" despite the good dancing.

  The dance was entered into the database based only on this demo; no other source was known to the editor. 

  The version done here starts with circle to the left & back. Other versions have advance and retire twice instead.

  Once through, with a bar or two lost at the very end.  Camera switches between a close up of the dancing couple and a wider view of the whole set.  This does not interrupt the flow of the dance.

  Dance Scottish for Pudsey A Medley of Dances.  RSCDS Youth Team, 2010.

  The later half of the video follows the dancing couple using a closeup shot and consequently, the other dancers tend to go out of view.  However, the oblique camera position affords a good view of the dancers and the dance can be followed reasonably well.

  Costumed demo which is good to watch, but constant cutting between camera views makes it hard to follow the choreography. The last RH turn is changed to end with half RH across to swap couples between two adjoining sets.

  Members And Friends Of RSCDS Stirling Branch, Guildhall, Stirling, Scotland (from "Reel Scottish Dancing" in the RSCDS Archive, 1999).  Since the revised edition of Book 18 dance down between the 3s (bars 25-26) should be with nearer hands. This video shows the earlier version with right hands joined.

  RSCDS Edinburgh Branch Demonstration Team, Dancing Forth, 2010.  Dancers make use of the elbow grip in the Corner-Partner.

  Excellent dancing - but this is a modified version with 3-couples dancing: instead of reeling on the opposite side, reels across are employed.  On the third time through, the ending is modified to lead into the next dance in the sequence.

  Just a minor loss of concentration near the end of the last repeat, which was quickly remedied.  Rather charming – the ladies had handkerchiefs to wave at the gentlemen in the top set.

  Twice through as part of a longer demo (with one small omission from the RH across in the 2nd repeat).

  This demo differs significantly from the official dance:   
  -  It is danced in a doubled two-couple set ; officially it is a 3C dance in a 4C set.   
  -  In bars 1-16 the men dance first, then the W.  It should be W first, M next.   
  -  Bars 29-32 are totally different: all turn P RH instead of 1c lead down and cast up.   

  Because of these changes this video is not so useful for learning the expected choreography of the dance though does give a flavour of it.

  Three times through, once each couple, in a three couple set with the last few bars adapted to get the 1st couple to the bottom. This causes some confusion restarting with double figures of 8 at the top (which do not start with setting). There are also some troubles getting into the hands across at the end of the reels. The last part of a longer display.

For the purposes of this demonstration both 1s & 2s and 3s & 4s set and link at the start of the 3rd time through (rather than just 1s & 2s).  Around this time one of the ladies is a bit slow in returning to her own side at the end of the snake pass.

  The view is cutting between dancers and musician so it can be hard to follow the choreography. A fairly complete repeat starts at 2:11.

  Clivis Country Scottish Dance Association, Turin, 2014.  Generally, 3-couple Poussettes are used as a progression.  Some close-up shots are employed and at one point, towards the end of the dance, the camera shifts about erratically before the shot stabilises.

  Studio Of Old And Folk Dance, Beltane Lights, Anniversary Dance Evening, 2019.  This clip starts with the dancing (at the start there is a short movie sequence).  Emphasis is on having fun and some theatre.  There is a bit of a false start in bars 9-16 but thereafter the dancers overcome their nerves and the dancing improves.  Mostly the dancers pass the correct shoulder ( bars 9-16 ) and this becomes more consistent later in the dance.

  According to the original instructions, only the Women set on bars 27-28 and 31-32. However, a variant description exists that says "All Set".  That is the version used in this video.  That is why this video is not classified as "demonstration quality".

  Danced in San Francisco April 2022.Start Your Engines was devised in 2012 by Ellen Ternes of Frederick, Maryland, commemorating the life and career of world-famous Scottish race-car driver Dario Franchitti.  It is published in a 2015 book named StrathsBabes which includes dances of hers and fellow deviser Pam Stephens, the latter whose Memories of Mary Ann (S32) was published by the RSCDS in its 2013 Book 47.  The SCDDB lists eleven dances by her, the majority in the aforementioned publication.
   
  Dario Franchitti was born in 1973 in Bathgate, West Lothian, (today somewhat an Edinburgh outer suburb, pop. 23,600, just a twenty-mile drive to the west from its city center).  He is a former race-car driver and now a motor-sports commentator, four-time IndyCar Series champion (2007-2011 except 2008), three-time Indianapolis 500 winner, and the 2008 winner of the "24 Hours of Daytona."  He was married to American actress Ashley Judd from 2001 to 2013 and now married to Englishwoman Eleanor Robb, and they have two young daughters born in 2015 and 2019.  Dario Franchitti may now use the suffix MBE with his name having been named a Member of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth among her Birthday Honours of 2014....

  In this performance only 1st couple turn RH in bars 21-24 though the instructions suggest all three couples should turn.

  Dancers of the Munich Scottish Association, 2022. The deviser and dedicatee start as 1st couple and the music is played by the composer of the original tune.
  (Camera angle very close to the set, consequently only part of the set is visible/dancers are "beheaded" at numerous times during the video.)

  RSCDS Summer School in St. Andrews, week 4, 2018.  Once through, with modified beginning and end :- during the first 8 bars, the other dancers swirl into place; the last four bars are modified to lead into the next dance.

  The dancing is excellent but given the modifications and the availability of other good videos its probably best to block this one.

  Scottish Party At The Festival "The Breath Of Siberia", Tomsk, Russia, 2017.  At the end of the first 8 bars the 3s make a full RH turn, rather than a half turn.  The 3M becomes a lady for the interlocking reels.  Swapping back occurs with the RH turn at the end of bar 16. The music is on the slow side.

Five-couple version, with 1s and 3s dancing :- Right hands across in the centre and at the ends; modified corners pass & turn; Double Triangles at both ends; big circle.  On the second time through – special ending.

  Three times as the last part of a longer demo. There are a few minor adaptations for demonstration purposes. The 1st repeat ends with a slow RH cross instead of full RH turns to switch the top and bottom of the set, the 2nd repeat has some diagonal turns, the last repeat ends facing the audience. Clear view from above.

  As is traditional in Edinburgh, the two hand turns are here done with skip change rather than pas de basque.

  Danced at a party to celebrate the birthday of the deviser, Ruth Beattie (1st Woman).   1st couple dance twice through but the other three couples just dance once each and the progression was changed.  There was little space but great fun at a very happy event.

  Nicely danced (with a few hesitations) though with a couple of variations from the original instructions. In bars 5-8 the dancers here do two left hands across (at each end) rather than one in the middle. And in the final mirror set and links, the central two couples dance through the middle rather than casting to the ends. The first variation works well but the second looks slightly more awkward than was intended.

  The second part of a lovely demonstration - though the slow crossing RH and back at the start of the reel section are here replaced by quicker turns, perhaps to make a livelier display.

  This clip shows the dance just once through in two back to back 3 couple sets. The 1st place in each set (at the ends) is out of view for the first few bars. The demo continued with a variation of the dance for 4 couples.

  This clip shows an adapted first half of the dance as part of a longer demonstation medley. It is roughly the first 48 bars but passing right shoulder and clockwise in bars 33-48 instead of left shoulder and anticlockwise (and then leads into a circle). At least it gives a flavour of the dance.

  I, the devisor, was teaching this from a crib on scddatabase (had several beginners and needed an easy RR dance).  The crib was not correct and I adlibbed.  Thus the first 16 bars of the video do not follow the original instructions.  The crib has now been corrected to match the original instructions.  I am adding the video for two reasons.  One: dancing the way I adlibbed it works well.  Two: the last 8 bars are easier to 'see' than to describe and they are done correctly in the video.  Permission granted to dance it either way !

  Russia, 2018.  There is excellent dancing with a lot of flight, but can only be rated as reasonable due to the number of times dancers take a wrong turn passing out between the 3s at various times throughout the dance.  Occasionally, spectators with cameras come into view, particularly at the start.

  Was Reasonable, now unavailable.

  International Branch weekend in Dunfermline, 2009.

  Good dancing, however the deviser notes that the reels of bars 25-32 should be 8 bar reels. Here the corners only dance 6 bars.  
  On bars 31-32 the corners should dance into place the long way round (as if casting) as 1st couple cross RH.  
  Also dancers should give nearer hands to their partner during the reels.

  Due to limited time, we never managed to show the three couple tournée fully as intended for the last three bars. The overall phrasing is 1-4-3 (1 to step in, 4 for a half reel of three incl. body adjustment to face own side, 3 to turn 1 1/4 round to places).

  There is a central "meanwhile figure" for 8 bars with men and ladies dance different things, anticlockwise in the beginning, clockwise at the end. Both versions have flaws; please refer to the dance diagram for further details.

  Video from 1950 ;-) 
  "The music is not synchronised with the dancing and it is not the original La Russe tune; it is a medley of traditional tunes, presumably added during the editing"

  Due to an earlier mistake in the database (now fixed) the video attributes this dance to "L Reid" but its actually by Trish Reid.

  Those wearing bands are dancing the men's role. Fairly clear in the part of the set nearer the camera (but there is a shoelace problem later on in the further half of the set). Here danced as a medley of reel and jig.

  Thistle Scottish Country Dancers, Halifax/Nova Scotia, April 2023.

  This video shows the updated version of the dance with all couples making an extra half LH turn at the end of the Knot (instead of omitting the half LH turn).

  Well danced, as part of a longer demonstration, but here only doing the first 80 bars of the dance (after that the women dance off and the men do an adapted figure leaving two for the next dance in their demo).

  This dance was my introduction to Mel Briscoe's "Turbolink." A nice variant in a nice dance.

  The 1st couple here are taking right hands in bars 29-32 rather than dancing round right shoulder.

  Russia, 2018.  The dancing is generally to a demonstration standard, but on a couple of occasions dancers travel too far down the set in bars 1-8 and then there is a scramble to reach 2nd place for the half-turn and twirl.

  Was Good, now youtube channel unavailable.

  Lovely dancing - just of the strathspey part (skipping the slow jig part of the medley).

  Note that the team here have adapted bars 33-40. Instead of set, half circle and 4 bar turn they do set, cross, half circle and half turn. So not quite as in the original instructions.

  I wrote this dance for a group of 5 dancers who I celebrated New Year‘s Eve with. Person#5 is the straw to mix everything, on the last four bars this dancer adds the half orange to the glass.

  The dancing is of demonstration quality, but as the music is reels, instead of the expected jig time, the video has been downgraded to "good".

  The lead tune is <<ddt:Tommy's Tarbukas#3074>> in the recording at <<https://youtu.be/ofajr_HJsBk>> (see also <<https://my.strathspey.org/dd/issue/3178/|issue 3178>>).

  Recorded at a class during the "Thistle Club Eindhoven" Dayschool and Ball on 15.10.2005 at "De Landing" in Einhoven/NL.

  The video shows the dance once through, but unfortunately about four bars are missing at the beginning. 
  The full first 8 bars are:  
  1c cross down RH to between 2c | set to P ; dance up and cast to 2plx (2c up) (2,1x)

  Rik wrote this dance for Anne Scobie (Dance Scottish Brussel) on the occasion of her wedding.

  NOTE: Since the original publication of "Dancing on Air" in 2011, bars [13-16] and [21-24] of this dance have been modified.  The formation is now "set to corner; turn corner BH".  The diagrams are correct. 

  In this video, these turns are made incorrectly with RH instead of BH.

  Was Reasonable, now private in youtube (maybe due to dance being changed?).

  A few hesitations but otherwise choreographically fine.

  The selected video clip starts with the dancing. The complete video starts with a walkthrough (introduced by the deviser) and the band playing the two tunes composed for the dance by Muriel Johnstone.

  Three couple set with modifications in bars 17-24 to allow a 231 progression instead of 213 as expected for a four couple set. The instructions say 1st couple should cross up above 2nd woman and cast to 2nd place. Here they cross straight over and cast to 3rd place.

  The poussette here is danced in the standard way. However the notes in the RSCDS manual specify an unusual poussette phrasing for [25–28] : 1M+2W starting on own sidelines, with Partner: ¼ turn, move | move, ¼ turn ;

  Twice through (almost). 1st place is not always in view. Good dancing but some differences from the instructions, eg 1st & 3rd couples ought to end the reels with nearer hands joined for petronella in tandem. Here the dancers petronella into the corners rather than staying together.

  Danced once each couple in two 3 couple sets, on and off stage with different orientations and the camera switching between them. The final turns are adapted to get 1st couple to 3rd place.

  As is traditional in Edinburgh, the two hand turns are here done with skip change rather than pas de basque.

  NB the sound track is out of sync with the dancing.

  Demonstration performed in formal gardens "in the time of coronavirus plague, 2020". The dance is recommended as a medley of 64 bars of minuet and 64 bars of jig. Here, after the 64 bars of minuet (to 2:34) they continue with the first 24 bars again as minuet.

  Men are here represented by rectangles and women by ovals (roughly the opposite of the usual SCD diagram convention). The video shows several repeats of the dance. The first one in slow motion, the rest faster.

  There are a few minor infelicities in depiction of casts and stepping down, but the overall form of the dance is clear.

comment:
  A rather surreal attempt at an animation using top hats for the men and teapots for the women (inspired by the Wonderland theme). It seemed too odd to have upside down teapots, so the images are always facing the same way, rather than turning round. This unfortunately makes it harder to follow which way a dancer would really be facing - though normally they face the way they are moving, except when setting in the Bourrel. The twirl (cast) away after the first two hand turn in the Bourrel is replaced by a kind of funny turn video effect. Hopefully the subtitles help to make the choreography clear.

  The attempt to synchronise animation with music resulted in a not very smoothly flowing movement.

  Excellent dancing with a few little glitches. The instructions suggest 2nd & 3rd couples step up together on bars 23-24 but here 2nd couple step up earlier.

  Twice through as the first part of a longer display. The first repeat starts with just two couples for the first 8 bars. The second repeat has the expected three couples throughout. Dancers are sometimes outside the camera view.

  Twice through as part of a longer display. Excellent dancing but in both repeats the final rights and lefts is adapted to change the orientation of the set or to end in a square set. Dancers are sometimes outside the camera view.

  A class being coached through the dance. The first half circle is here danced to the right rather than to the left. And the meanwhile figure in bars 57-72 (half reels and turns) goes a little awry.

  Demo. Once through starting in two side by side sets as the middle part of a longer display. Excellent dancing, but here the progressive promenade is changed to bring both sets into a single line (without progression) for the final poussette. The left hand set starts with the 1st couple nearer the camera.

  Once through. The 1st couple here lead down & up with right hands in bars 9-10 whereas the instructions have "dance" (with nearer hands).

  The youtube comments say this is a video of Rod Downey's Short and Very Sweet, but that is a completely different dance to the one actually shown here.

comment:
  This video gives a general impression of "La Russe", but differs in several respects:

  1.  On [1-16] turning the corners and partner is done with a birling turn instead of BH turn.

  2.  For [17-32] either 1c+3c or 2c+4c dance; this should be one couple only.  The Poussette [25-32]is missing, replaced by biring turns for 8 bars placed in [17-24].

  3.  Arches have been added for [33-48]

  4.  The big wheel [57-64] has been replaced by a promenade cclw once round.

  Was Reasonable, now unavailable on youtube.

  This is a ceilidh dance, described in text inserted into the video.  As the camera battery died, only part of the dance was recorded.  The beginning of the dance is much like a "Grand March", later followed by "over and under".  This video seems unrelated to the dance "Waves of Tory" entered on SCDDB.

  John Drewry's instructions for bars 17-24 say 1st couple dance up crossing over to second place on own side to dance reels of three on the sides with 2nd and 3rd couples. 2nd couple dance in and down and 3rd couple dance down and out to enter the reels. In this demonstration 3rd couple are dancing out and up each time for this reel.

  Unfortunately the camera was too close so several loops of the reels are out of view.
  In bars 37-40 the 2nd corners should have half turned with the right hand not the left hand.

comment:
  In bars 13-16 the 1st couple here consistently dance up between 3rd couple. However the instructions are that 1st couple cast up behind 3rd couple which is still the deviser's preference.

  Rehearsing for a demo. The first 24 bars of each repeat are mostly choreographically correct with a few hesitations, the last 8 bars still mostly had some problems of phrasing and precedence.

  This video was taken when the dance was intended as a reel. Subsequently it has been changed to be a jig.

comment:
  A rehearsal for a subsequent demo. Some infelicities of phrasing and position were still being worked out. There is one classic, but recovered, "where on earth am I supposed to be now" moment in the second time through. Otherwise its choreographically correct, while still showing the pitfalls of a fairly challenging dance.

  Choreographically fine but 3rd & 2nd women should dance towards each other to face in and then turn away at the end of bar 4 (a reflected pattern). In the first repeat 2nd woman (white top) does this and in the 2nd repeat the new 3rd woman (dark blue top) also does this as intended.

comment:
  On the last two bars of each time through the dance, 2nd man and 3rd woman both have a polite turn.  Occasionally in this video the polite turn is omitted.

  Although this is a 3 couple dance, the instructions encourage 1st couple to repeat the first 4 bars after their second time to end in 4th place and also suggest that optionally the 3rd & 4th couples can do that at the start which is done here.

comment:
  A blend of the first two attempts at a challenging new dance: generally good but also displaying various potential pitfalls.
  There are some missed casts and startled turns, a late entry into the central circle in the 2nd repeat and wrong order into a chase in the 4th repeat (neatly corrected at the end of the circle).
  The last repeat is best viewed as a surprising recovery from a momentary lapse and also shows the classic error of birling too long to end back on the sidelines.

  View from the top of the set.
  The couples mostly pass left shoulder into promenade hold at the end of the half reels of 4 in bars 13-16.
  This flows well ("Mairi's Divorce" style) but the original intention was for them to make the final right shoulder pass on bar 16 which is only done during the 3rd repeat.

  The challenge comes from the frequent changing of feet and is where most mistakes occured.
  The Rechberg dancers learnt both the Waltz Hold Poussette and Dances on the morning of the video. 
  PDB is used not SCS.

  The dancers here do both the half circles in bars 1-8 to the left whereas in the instructions the second one is "repeat to the right".

  Once through excerpt from a demonstration medley with two sets joined at 1st couple.

  Excellent dancing, though there are two modifications to the dance:
  (1) on bars 1-2 the two 1st couples join hands to set together instead of singly;
  (2) on bars 33-36 the 2nd and 3rd couples continue to set advancing through the other set instead of finishing at the top of their own set.

  In this rendition the circle of bars 17-24 and promenade of bars 41-48 are swapped round. And the top couple never casts off to the bottom.

  "Petronella Reloaded" (SCDDB: 21690), a 3x32 Reel, devised by Jona Kutsche & Viktor Lehmann. Dancers: Caro Schmitt, Emma Sellke, Viona Schweers, Viktor Lehmann, Jarla Kutsche, Jona Kutsche. Thanks to Wolfgang Kutsche for recording, 24 November 2023, Kuckucksnest Schlüchtern.

  This dance is dedicated to Andrew Nolan who - during November Course 2023 at the Kuckucksnest in Schlüchtern, Germany - gave us an overview on how „Petronella“ developed over time. We felt it was time for the next level. This dance comes as a canon, with second couple being two bars behind the other couples throughout most of the dance.

  Complete dance.
  Suggested music: September in Skye played by Marian Anderson.


  The instructions have the corners curving into place after the 2nd half reel of 25-28 which is not always done here.

  Three times through. Excellent, though the outer dancers are turning left hand at the very end (which looks very natural after an anticlockwise chase) whereas the instructions have right hand.

  Some very good dancing, starting at bar 9. However the camera is moving around and sets are only partly in view so this is not that useful for following the dance.

comment:
  The formations Rights and Lefts [17-24] and Ladies Chain [25-32] have been switched around.  On [33-40] all turns are done with the wrong hand, so that the men face in when setting, and also the phrasing is poor  The demo goes twice through with a good view, the third time the camera pans around; the 4th time is cut off short.

  This was recorded on Feb. 3rd, 2008, probably at a Festival Interceltique of Lorient, the dancers could be from Russia. It was uploaded to Youtube on Feb 6, 2008.

  Generally danced well though there appear to be some issues with the novel double (tandem) tournée figure.

comment:
  This is part of a demonstration of many linked dances, adapted for the occasion.  The set is a "broadwise set": up/down is at right angles to the length of the set. Once through followed by a transition into the next dance.

  The dancing is of demonstation quality but the team here use highland schottische setting in bars 17-24 rather than the glasgow highlanders setting step which is specific to this dance.
