  Twice though as part of a display. The first time as expected in a 5 couple set though the last 6 bars are adapted to repeat the dance in a 7 couple set on the other axis.

  Good dancing but the camera view is between two lines of sets with neither of them completely in view so its not always easy to follow the dance.

  Was Reasonable but no longer available (youtube channel terminated).

  Once through (in a modified version) as part of a display. In bars 19-20 3rd couple cast off to 4th place instead of 5th place (underlined in the instructions!). The LH across of bars 29-32 is completely replaced by rearrangement of the 5 couple set into two 4 couple sets with extra dancers so the final circles are two 8 hands round and back instead of 10 hands. Excellent dancing but not so suitable for learning the dance.

  Excellent dancing but this extract from the Airyhall display at the 2020 Newcastle festival only shows the first 24 bars of the dance - in two back to back 3 couple sets (joined in 3rd place). The left hand set dances a mirror version, turning LH into allemande hold for an inverted allemande the end of which is adapted to lead into the next dance. The last 8 bars are omitted.

comment:
  Last dance before lockdown. The deviser notes:
  *In the first repeat, the transition from the fugue into the reel across is not really correct. Repeat 2 and repeat 3 (even more) show the correct transition. To make the entry into the reel easier for second lady, second couple should be ready to face in at the end of bar 16 being on the outside of the set.*

  Twice through demo. The instructions request the final poussette be done symmetrically on the centre line as in <<ddd:New Park>> whereas here it looks, from the camera angle, as if it is being done in the usual diagonal style.

  In the original instructions, the advance and retire of bars 15-16 should be across the set, towards and away from partner, not up and down the set as is done here. (The dancers may have been following an earlier version of the MiniCrib).

  Good dancing but, as the youtube comments admit, an extra 8 bars have been added at bar 9 (between 4 hands round and the ladies chain) to make it an 80 bar dance instead of the expected 72.

  Part of a display. The dancing is clearly dem quality but the choreography has been changed quite a bit, especially the last 8 bars, so is classed as "good". The sets are joined in the centre and alternately inverted. The video at least gives a good impression of the dance.

  This is the "Over the Water to Charlie (New Way) 8x32 Jig" version, from  the RSCDS Book 34: the Scottish Country Dancing variant.

  This was uploaded to the wrong dance. Rather than deleting, its left as blocked to avoid a repeat mistake.

  The reel from RSCDS Book 46 danced by members of the RSCDS Western Australia branch.

  It should be noted that in this performance, arms are raised at the start of the allemande and not during the end of the previous right hand turn.  This is the preference of both the devisor, John Brenchley and of Barbara Boyd, for whom the dance was written.

  Ball at 15th anniversary Berlin Hopalots weekend (26.11.2016)  
    
  The written instructions for the dance say that on bars 15 - 16 (the last 2 steps of the allemande) 1 couple dance a full left hand turn to face their corners.  
  This is not shown by the dancers in the posted video for this dance.  All the dancers slide past each other LS to their corners.   
     
  Video shows occasional extra turn&twiddle

  Twice through in two back to back 3 couple sets with a little adaptation so the 1st couples start at the ends for the first repeat but from the centre for the 2nd repeat.

  Twice through, once in each orientation, starting with a dance in rather than a chord and ending ready for the next dance in the demonstration. The turns in bars 9-24 are done twice (rather than once as per Book 34 instructions).

  Three times in a slightly adapted version. The dance is for 4 couples in a longwise set but here there are two extra couples who dance the 2nd repeat oriented across. The last 4 bars of each repeat should be a slow RH cross with partner but is here changed to switch the orientation.

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

  Note:  Danced twice through in a 2C set, one time for each couple.  In a social dance context however, the 1st couple would dance again from second place, and then third place to finish at the foot of the set.  

  Excellent dancing (from Canberra) though using "See You Down Under" rather than the recommended music.

  Thoughts of Romance est une danse crée par les ados du Méaudre Reel pendant cette période de COVID où nous ne pouvions pas danser. Elle est à retrouver dans le "Dancing in Vercors, Book 1"


  Nous avons pu re danser ce samedi 8 mai 2021 en extérieur devant nos montagnes, et tester nos danses. Malgré les gestes barrières, nous avons pris beaucoup de plaisir et le sourire était derrière.

  This is the fourth dance of a dïsplay. The first 8 bars have been modified as they are part of the linkage to the preceding 3C dance.  The final bars of once through are cut off by the next transition.

  Excellent dancing but graded as Good because of all the choreography changes.

  Highly roaming camera angle (literally wandering through the room and between sets, also showing the band in between)  
  RSCDS Chicago Tea Dance 2020

  The instructions say bars 1-8 and 9-16 are a modified Helix with half RHA in 5-6 and cross RH in 7-8. Here they are doing the original Helix with half RH turn first then half RHA.

  Naramata Scottish Country Dancers, 2013. The dancers have a tendency to arrive a little early for the next phrase. The first 1st couple loop above 3rd couple instead of the expected 2nd couple in bars 25-32. The viewpoint obscures some of the action.

  The video on youtube has the erroneous header "Craven Reel" but is correctly introduced by the MC as Craven Jig.

  Although an excellent dem quality video, one of the dancers (Jacmel Dent) asked us to take it down from the site as she suffered a serious injury while dancing and finds this clip a distressing reminder of a very bad experience. Although she struggled on for the following two dances in the medley this is the only one she objects to.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  The mid-section descends into a bit of a muddle – there's not much thinking time.  When the 4th couple dance bars 1-16 the give hands when they cross, the instruction just say cross – no mention of taking hands.

  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.

  RSCDS Summer School in St. Andrews, week 4, 2018.  Dancing is excellent, but video is downgraded due to departure from the original instructions.  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.

  This video follows the original version of the dance, before Rod changed the way the third and fourth couples started the double figure of eight.   The change was made to allow third couple to enter the Rose Progression more easily.

  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.

  To finish the Reel of 3 in second place, 1c makes a loop (Rsh back for 1st man as in the video but a big loop Lsh back for 1st woman), before starting dancing the figure of love.

  Deviser says: "Only minor glitches, hardly visible. Deviser dances as fourth man. Video shows first repeat, then fades out."

  Excellent dancing but this 4 couple dance is here adapted slightly for 6 couples so not quite the original choreography. Its generally best to watch the top four couples.

  Once through with slight adaptation at the end to lead into the next dance in the display. The camera veers off to show the audience for part of the dance. So not ideal for learning the dance.

  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.

  Here danced, 3 times, in the original 24 bar version.

  The dance is being danced to the original tune, written by Vincent McCourt at a dance on 12 November 2022 to celebrate 60 years of the Headington SCD class. The dance deviser, Lesley McCourt is dancing as 1st Lady in the second set.

  This clip starts with the dancing. The whole video has an introduction to the history and a recap.

  The youtube video title is "Laich of Moray" but it actually seems to be the adaption of that dance by Mary Shoolbraid Brandon called "The Mormaer of Moray". The strathspey part is fine but there are a few mishaps in the reel section.

  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.

  Video begins with an instructive "walk" thru, then it is danced twice with a walking step and three times with skip change to a jig set played by Dave Mullen on fiddle. A small Mardi Gras party dance in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

  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.

  Part of a Medley: preceded by The Duke of Atholl's Reel (J32 - 2/4L), followed by Montgomeries' Rant (R32 - 3/4L)

  Third time through the last eight bars are modified to move back to a longwise set for the next part of the medley. Camera point-of-view less than ideal.

  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.

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

  And Trish Reid comments that hands should not be given in the Inveran Reel (whereas in this video couples are giving hands).

  Stricly Scottish Vancouver, 2023. This performance follows all the details in the original instructions. About one and a half times through.

  In the last 4 bars the RH turn should be 3/4 into promenade hold facing clockwise to then chase round one place clockwise. Here the chase is anticlockwise.

  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.

  "Cocktails at Hogmanay" (SCDDB: 20034), a 5×40 Jig, devised by Viktor Lehmann, danced and recorded by the SCD Group Hong Kong.

  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?).

  Once through as part of a display. The top of the right hand set is out of view for the first couple of bars. To lead into the next dance 1st couple cross LH at the end instead of RH.

  Once through as part of a display. The last two bars are slightly adapted (advancing to the centre) to lead into the next dance. Sources seem to differ as to whether to touch hands during the reels.

  Silent and shaky extract from 1930s film, by Ion Jamieson,-    of dances from the borders. The <<https://youtu.be/hJvoYB6QL1E|youtube comments>> have lots of additional information.

  Unfortunately this video can only be played directly on youtube, so you will need to click "watch on youtube". This dance starts at 2:27 into the video.

  One couple and 3 pairs of chairs. This clip just shows once through the first turn of the dance with 1st couple ending on opposite sides. The whole video begins with detailed teaching and walkthroughs. The 2nd turn starts from opposite sides. This is described in detail from 8:21 and danced from 11:02.

  Extract from the concert. Excellent dancing, but the version of the dance being done here differs in some details from the version published in <<ddpub:#1558>>. The published version has women dancing 4 hands round in bars 1-4 and the last 8 bars is also different. <<https://my.strathspey.org/dd/dancevideo/7615/|Video 1>> shows the published version.

  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.

  Original video was replaced by another youtube upload. But probably best to keep this blocked as its really too dark to follow and there are other videos.

comment:
  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.

  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.

  This clip shows the last two repeats starting from top place (the whole video starts part way through a repeat). A clear demonstration though the dancers here are not touching hands while the centre person is turning.

  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.

comment:
  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

comment:
  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".

comment:
  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.

  Once through as the last part of a longer demo. The initial long cast is abbreviated and the final half figures of eight are changed to set and cross. The camera view is switching between the many sets.

  Excellent dancing twice through as the first part of a longer demo. It is shown here in two back to back sets, with the 1st couples in the centre, but does not use the original tune. The final diagonal R&L is adapted to lead in to the next dance in the medley.

  Here done in a 4 couple set on one side of the room and 2 3 couples sets on the other side so slightly different choreography - 2 4 hands round in the 4C set and 6 hands round in the 3C sets.  Some creative chases.
  <p/>
  This clip shows the last two repeats with the camera primarily on the 4C set. The first part of the whole video shows more of the 3C sets.

  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.

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.

  This clip just shows the dancing. The whole video starts with an introduction.

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

  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.

Consider the line of dancers at the top of the circle and that we are viewing from the band. That puts the 1C on the left of our view moving CCLW. This video is only two times through the dance.

  In bars 25-28 the original instructions say "1st woman passes 3rd man left shoulder and 2nd man and woman right shoulder. 1st man passes 2nd woman left shoulder and 3rd woman and man right shoulder". Here 1st couple pass all three corner people right shoulder. This looks quite natural but seems not to have been the deviser's intention.

  The Greenbelt Jig, devised by Elaine Brunken, was danced at the Lower Hutt SCD Club's annual dance on September 5, 2015. The dance was held in St Bernard's School gym and the MC was club tutor Damon Collin.

  Balmoral Band comprises Anne-Marie Forsyth, Sharlene Penman and Ian McKenzie.

  Many newer dancers attended this dance, which for many of them was their first formal dance. More experienced dancers partnered them for 'The Greenbelt Jig'.

  The last part of a longer display. Excellent dancing but the choreography is heavily altered.

  First 12 bars danced as written in a longwise set. Then modified bars 13-16 while bringing in other dancers from the sidelines in a display. 
  Bars 17 onwards danced as written but in 3 x 2cpl sets with diagonal sets.

  To make it easier for a number of beginners this is a slightly adapted version of the dance where the reel of 4 is done across in 1st place with 2nd couple setting up. Normally it should be done across 2nd place with 2nd couple curving up to 1st place on bars 23-24.

  Part of a longer display.  View from floor level, but all formations are easy to follow, although top end is off screen during part of first time through.  Suitable for teaching.

  Three times, once each couple in two 3 couple sets (as part of a longer demo). In bars 21-24 1st couple here turn left hand instead of the expected right hand.

  Once through. Nicely danced and very clear, but in bars 5-8 the instructions say the two lines should retain hands with the 2s, 4s and 5s advancing and retiring while the 1s and 3s retire then advance. Here the team release hands and all advance and retire separately. This is perhaps safer but seems not to be what the deviser intended.

comment:
  Lugnasad Celtic Dance School demo at Lviv, october 2007.

  The transition on [15-16] from the mirror reels into the rondel is danced according to Drewry's original text in Book 23 which says: "First couple, giving right hands cross to own sides, dance up to the top and turn to face the second couple who have danced in ready for the Rondel."  The current instructions say: "First couple, giving right hands, dance up turning halfway round to finish facing second couple ready for the Rondel."   For further information look at the “Extra Info” for the dance.  Many dancers prefer the original instructions.

  The dancers here take hands during the reels, possibly following that suggestion in earlier versions of the e-crib and minicrib. However taking hands is not mentioned in the original instructions (except for 1st couple when crossing). As of April 2019 the e-crib has been updated to match and the comment forwarded to the minicrib team.

  The first couple is Brian (devisor) and his wife Barbara.  Brian wrote the dance for their anniversary and later Barbara commissioned the music as her anniversary gift.

  Nice dancing, though with quite a few variations of hands used by corners in the pass and turn figures.

  Once through, in an adapted version, as part of a longer demo.
  Excellent dancing but the alterations mean it is not so useful for learning the dance.
  It starts with 6 couples (from the previous dance). 2 people dance off after a few bars.
  The end is also adapted to lead into the next dance.

  NB the dancers here follow the original choreography ending with 1st & 6th couples turning RH then LH (instead of circle 12 hands round and back). They also start with all six couples on their own side rather than 4th, 5th & 6th on opposite sides.

  This set dances down for 4 [17-20] and up for 4 [21-24], instead of 6 for each, and so has 4 bars left over at the end; they stand still and clap to fill the time.

  This video uses the original music suggested by the dance author. The choreography is OK but there are some glitches in the phrasing.

  The first time this was danced in 1993, with a group in Tawa. Patricia London is my mother. The music is provided by Peter Elmes, who picked the tune. The dance is from the Cane Toad Collection, my first book of dances. This was resurrected from a VHS tape by John Patterson and converted to mp4. There had been some deterioration

  Music is Bonnie Anne (96 bar jig).
  0:34-0:40 there is some shaky camera work at the end of the ladies path (behind second corner to end up in front of partner) for the start of Hello Goodbye setting.

  There are also a few wobbles in figures of eight and circular reels.

  Devised by Andrew Nolan, originally of Spelthorne to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Borough of Spelthorne. The snake pass movement in bars 21-24 makes the S of Spelthorne (or a 5 which when followed by the circle which makes up the 50).

  On the 10th May 2024 the dance was presented to the Deputy Mayor of Spelthorne, Cllr Elizabeth Baldock and Council Leader Cllr Joanne Sexton at Our Lady of the Rosary Church Hall in Staines at their Parish Ceilidh.

  We danced this dance with only 6 dancers, as we are a small group in Salzburg and cannot always form a set of 8 people. So we thought of a progression and cut the music to the number of rounds. It worked well. And we had a beginner who was only dancing with us for the 3rd time.

  Every Solstice the San Francisco class holds a Solstice party, the program for which includes one dance written by or for a class member. This tradition was started by a dancer named Cap Moran, for whom this dance named.  Russ King wrote this dance for the 1996 Summer Solstice party.  This video was shot on June 14 2024 and the deviser is wearing the bright red shirt. He has somewhat slowed down after 28 years, but still regularly dances.

  Band is Patti Cobb on piano, Michelle Masek on fiddle, and Katherine Carvahal on flute. First man is Claire's husband Gareth.
  The tune is a strathspey arrangement by Patti Cobb of Au Clair de Lune.

  After the poussette the 1s are to dance straight in and then down into the middle of the dance while the 2s cast up on bars 1&2, which is not quite how it's danced either time here.

comment:
  This was the first SCD with a Chain Progression that was devised by Eric Forbes in the 1970s.  He was very clear that the progression is different in quick time vs strathspey time, but we dance it as the Royal Scottish Dance Society has chosen to interpret it.

  The band is Patti Cobb on piano, Katherine Carvahal on flute and Michelle Masek on fiddle.

  Here shown twice through in a seven couple set.

  Even if one dancer missed her turn in the reel, the dance is clearly recognizable in all the other dancers. It is very demanding and took time to teach. A beautiful dance, good for a performance.

  Here danced once each couple in a 3 couple set.

  The earlier part of the video is omitted as it does not keep one single set constantly in view, making it impossible to follow the pattern of the dance.

  This is a teaching video of a Scottish Country Dance. There are audio and on screen instructions and a bar counter. The dancers wear numbered coloured tabards so that the learner can follow a particular dancer through the dance.

  The Ochil Scottish Country Dancers videoed this dance in August 2014 at St Ninian's Parish Church Hall, Stirling, Scotland.

  Nicely danced with dancers clearly identified by coloured shirts. In the Espagnole the dancers crossing up should pass in front of those crossing down. However here they do it the other way round.

  Various versions of this dance exist.  This video, the final part of a longer demo, shows a 32-bar version, twice through; the men dancing the figure of 8 round the women the first time, the women dancing the figure the second time.  After the arches all couples set.  The music and the dancing are not precisely in sync.

  Scottish dance friends had fun with Shiftin Bobbins music during a demo. Lead down the middle and up has the rare quality to cross 8-bar phrases. The spirit of the dance compelled us to respond with Hey! 

  We closed the demo with a Square Dance tradition to thank the set for dancing.

  Views of two different sets, the first being more confident.

  In the 3rd time through the second set does LH across in bars 9-16 at both top and bottom losing the contraflow effect.

  Once through as the middle part of a longer demo. In bars 33-34 the team here set instead of advance and retire. The end is also adapted to lead into a longwise set for the next dance in the display.

  In this video the dance has been modified.  On bars 1-8, 1C+2C and 3C+4C set and link {4} followed by RHA {4}. Both the crib and diagrams say "all set {2}, RHA at top and bottom {4}, 1C and 4C cast to middle as 2C+3C step to the ends {2}".  Regards, Amy

  3 times through.  There is a second video of this same performance, taken from above 2c, but showing only 2nd and 3rd times through.

  The progression is in error.  On bars [27-28] and [31-32] the circle goes only 1/3 round (instead of 1/2), so the progression becomes (3,1,2) instead of the correct (2,3,1)

  One of the dancers goes wrong on time 1.42. but corrects it elegantly.  The bright windows in the background and the low camera position make it difficult to follow the dancers clearly.  Eric

  Four times through in a rather dark video. The orientation of the 2 couple sets is rotated for the 2nd repeat.

  Top quality dancing, however in bars 17-20 2nd woman passes in front of 1st woman (contrary to the Book 5 instructions).

  The instructions for bars 1-8 have "lead down" but here the team are "dancing" down with nearer hands joined. The corners are here turning with both hands in bars 17-24. The instructions do not specify but the RSCDS manual default in that case would be right hands.

  Scottish Country Dancing demonstration from 1994 Anzac School, Wellington, in Onslow College. The dances done are Argyll Strathspey, Mrs Stewart's Jig, and The Rose of Glamis. The entry and exit routines were devised by Noeline O'Connor. The music is provided by Peter Elmes, John Smith, and Merren Simmonds. This was resurrected from an old VHS tape, and converted to an mp4 by John Patterson. Sadly the quality is affected by the deterioration of the tape, but the dancing and playing is of quite high quality.

  NB the first four bars of this clip of Mrs Stewart's Jig are modified with the couple in 3rd place also setting and casting to 4th place.

  In bars 57–64, the dancing couples dance round each other in promenade hold instead of doing rights and lefts as per the dance description (this is correct on bars 41-48).

  At approximately 1:35, this segues into an abridged version of <<ddd:The Round Reel of Eight>>.

  Danced by set a set of six physicists to live music played by another physicist (including a tune composed by yet another physicist).
  Mostly choreographically correct.
  The most common error is that the first lady or first man forgets to step down before setting during the last eight bars of the dance.

  (Contrary to standard SCD diagram notation men are represented by rectangles, women as oval-ish shapes).

  The set to and turn corners of bars 17-24 is here shown with 1st couple on opposite sidelines and turning right hand rather than the usual expectation of facing corners and turning with both hands in strathspey.

  Given the errors, and a new video with humans doing the dance correctly, this is now blocked.

The 2nd repeat, in a cross shape, has other variations (switching sets in the reels) to finish the demo.

  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.

  Quite high quality dancing with a couple of errors. First time the dance was trialled in around 1993/4 (Wellington). Followed my learning lead change reels from Barry Priddey's dance, the Flight of the Falcons. Resurrected from an old VHS tape by John Patterson, and the end of the tape was corrupted.

  This clip starts with the dancing. The early part of the video has some discussion with the musician.

  From the second time I trialled this dance. Cayuga is a lovely finger lake in beautiful upstate New York. Resurrected from an old VHS by John Patterson, and from around 1994. I would have more variety (and possibly less pas de Basque) in a dance I devised now.

  The whole youtube video shows two performances. This clip just shows the first. The second is added as video #3.

  From around 1993/4 in Wellington. Lynne trialled this at one of my dance trial sessions, and this is its first trial as best I can recall. Resurrected by John Patterson from an old VHS found in one of my cabinets.. Very nice dance and dancing.

  From the first time some of my dances were trialled around 1993/1994, with a strong set of dancers. Converted from VHS to mp4 by John Patterson, and extracted by Pat Reesby.

  The dancing is excellent, but the choreography of the final version was revised after this test of the dance so the video is graded as Good. In the video 1st couple are casting off two places, crossing over and casting up whereas the published instructions have them casting off one place, then crossing down LH and casting up.

  This was the first time the dance was trialled in 1993/4. Jenny (now Jenny Vaughan) is dancing with Iain Boyd in 3rd place, Noeline O'Connor with Ian Simmonds in first place, Bill Hudson with Carol Smith in second place and I am with Lynne Hudson at the foot. Aside from a slip up the first time of the rose, the quality of the dancing is demonstration level. This was the first time the Rose Progression as performed. The musician is Peter Elmes, and this is the correct tune. Converted to mp4 from an old VHS by John Patterson and then extracted by Pat Reesby.

  First time trialled in 1993/4. Resurrected from an old VHS by John Patterson. Ithaca is an upstate New York town where Cornell University is located and long ago Kristin and I danced with the group which used to be there. I wrote this for them as they were young and loved energetic dances.

  From the first time the dance was trialled. The quality of the dancing is very high aside from a couple of errors on the Tournee. Resurrected from an old VHS from 1993/4 by John Patterson. The musician is Peter Elmes. This was the second dance with the Rose progression, and written for Mary Stoker who was Kristin and my first advanced class tutor in the NZ Summer School at Whanganui.

  Note that in the final version of the dance the setting in bars 17-18 is done facing up and down, not across the set as shown here.

  Part of a Newcastle display by the London team.  Demonstration quality dancing.   Two sets joined "bottom to bottom".  Once through only.  The last bars have been clipped as that was modified into a transition into the next dance of the display.

  From the original trialling of this dance. Either demonstration or good quality. Resurrected from an old VHS from 1993/4 by John  Patterson, which I recently discovered in a cabinet. It does have elements I would no longer use in dances I devise, but this is from my first book.

  The dancing is excellent but the video is only graded Reasonable as the choreography of the dance was radically changed after this test. The figures of the 1st 16 bars were reorganised and the reel of 4 in bars 17-24 here was replaced by turning and a half poussette. So this is a lovely rendition of an almost completely different dance!

  This was from a trial in 1994, and the final version of the dance is different, as it is modified to be a 4C dance, not ending in the modified tourbillon, which did not quite work as Carol Smith pointed out at the time. The video should be helpful but you will need to look at the full instructions for the correct version. Nice dancing from 1994. Resurrected from an old VHS by John Patterson.

  The 32 bar version in the video became bars 1-32 of the published version which was extended to be a 48 bar dance. It is a joy to watch but is graded merely Good because of the altered choreography.

     Notes:

     1.   On bars 28 and 32  dancers are only moving half a place around the set rather than one place which results in the order being 2 3 1 at the end of bar 32 and 3 1 2 at the end of bar 48

     2.   On bar 40, at the end of the men's left hands across and before the circle, 3rd couple incorrectly pass right shoulder to put 3rd man on the right of 3rd woman instead of remaining on her left as 1st and 2nd couples do. 3rd couple correct this mistake at the end of the circle on bar 48.

  This video shows the earlier version of this dance, where for [17-24] 1C dances a figure of 8 round the end couple.  In 2011 Edwin Werner revised the dance to make these Reels of 3 across (1M down, 1W up).  Note that at the end [on 24] 1C passes partner R shoulder to face 3rd corner; in the video many couples pass L shoulder.
  NB the revised version with reels was withdrawn so this video shows the original and now preferred version of the dance.

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

  Was Good. But will be removed from youtube "because it did not have consistent curves at end of second half reel".

  Due to an oversight (entirely my fault) in this performance 2nd and 3rd couples are doing a long cast in and out in bars 5-8. The intention had been they set first, then briefly danced in, touched hands, and danced out again. Apart from that the choreography is as per the instructions.

  This is a 3C/4L dance,  In this demonstration, the set consists of two 3C sets, bottom to bottom.  The progression on bar 24 has been changed (to 2,3,1) and the 6 hands round in [25-32] has been modified into three times 4 hands round or a single 12 hands round.  Do not try to learn the dance from this demo.

comment:
  Once in strathspey and once in reel time as part of a longer demo. Unusually the team here dance the circle three quarters of bars 29-32 as written, rather than convert it to a chase (though in reel time the circles are adapted to lead into the next dance).

comment:
  Danced 1x through as part of a larger demonstration. Two sets with top in the centre, therefore the lead down/up movement is slightly adjusted to allow for changing sets of the dancing couples. Allemandes at the end are also amended to change the orientation of both sets by 90°.

comment:
  2nd dance within a demonstration performance: shows only the strathspey section of the dance, and not the reel section, but the formations are correct, clearly demonstrated and well danced.
  Last few bars of this clip are slightly adjusted for the transition into the next part of the demonstration.

  Once through as the middle part of a longer demo. As in video #1 the dancers here do back to back in bars 17-20 instead of setting twice as in the instructions. Hence graded Reasonable despite the excellent dancing.

comment:
  Twice through as the last part of a longer demo. The dancers here are doing half rights and lefts instead of half right hands across in bars 5-6 and 13-14. This may be why the video refers to the dance as "The Lass and His Lad". Graded as Reasonable because of this choreographic variation despite the quality of the dancing.

  The in the last 4 bars couples just pass to face the next couple rather than turning one and a half.

  The dancing is good, but the progression is abnormal. This dance is danced "once and to the bottom".  For that the dancing couple moves to 4pl (and 3c+4c step up) on bars 23-24.  That rather spoils the link between the figures on bar 24.

  More than a Spring Fling (R32, 3/4L) – A&D Quarrie.
  Here the dance is only 4 times through and the dancing couple casts to the end of the set after the  DIAG R&L, which, of course,  is not necessary when dancing it 8 times through.

comment:
  On Saturday, 21st September, 2013, the Telheiras Scottish Country Dance Group performed six country dances at the "Olhar Carnide" festival in Carnide, Lisbon. Three were old dances from the 18th and 19th centuries and three were modern dances. This was the fourth, a modern country dance devised by Ann Dix called Rodney's Rant. As we did not have the correct music to hand, and we only wanted to do the dance 4x through, we used "Gypsy Tap" (!) from the Marian Anderson Band's CD "St. Bernard's Waltz". We also adapted the ending of the dance so that it could be done in a three-couple set.

  Class musician: Matthias Rank

  Introducing the new figure „Corners Pass and Hands Across“.
  This dance is dedicated to Marjorie and Richard McLaughlin, if not to their two cats Alice and Dinah (represented by first couple) who they adopted in 2024 and who seem to be all over the place, even in online meetings.

  Complete dance (with slight camera glitch last time through).
  Devised by Roy Goldring but original music has never been recorded.

  Danced by scotbordersdancers.

  The first time through 2nd couple step up a little late (bars 5-6) compared to the recommended 3-4.

  Although this looks reasonably good, the deviser has requested it not be linked in SCDDB, so it will be marked as blocked.

  Ian F Russell writes:

  “It would appear that the Aberdeen Dem team have the last 8 bars wrong!!!

  The 4 individual arches figures are each 2 bars.

  In the dem, the dancers making the arch who are coming out from the middle are actually using 4 bars, except for the last change (2nd cpl and 1st cpl).

  In the Dem, dancers coming out from the middle during the first 3 changes use an "extra" 2 bars  for the woman to turn under while the next two cpls do their arch figure (ie it becomes a "meanwhile" for these dancers) 

  The last two cpls to change places have to change on the last 2 bars of the dance and so do not have any music to "borrow"!

   

  But Jim [Stott, teacher from Aberdeen] tells me that all 4 changes should be "complete" (and the women turned under into place) in 2 bars!

  Jim writes:

   

  The end is in two bar phrases.

  5s make an arch 4s go under.  5th lady goes in front of her of her partner under his right arm to 4th place.

  4s make an arch 3s go under.  4th lady goes in front of her partner under his arm.

  3s Make an arch 2s go under.  3rd lady goes in front of her partner under his arm.

  2s make an arch 1s go under.  2nd lady passes in front of her partner under his arm.”

  Once through extract from a longer demo. The circle and back of bars 33-40 is here adapted, to circle one way and cross over, in order to lead into the next dance. So only bars 1-32 are as per the instructions.

  This is a teaching video of a Scottish Country Dance. There are audio and on screen instructions and a bar counter. The dancers wear numbered coloured tabards so that the learner can follow a particular dancer through the dance.

  The Ochil Scottish Country Dancers videoed this dance in August 2015 at Cambusbarron Church Hall, Stirling, Scotland.

comment:
  This is not so much a single dance as a recipe for producing thousands of millions of different dances in a highly prescriptive format of figures within the Celtic Brooch set, an unusual form of circular set for three couples; all the Ls perform the same movements at the same time and all the Mn similarly. Every 32-bar sequence contains the distinctive figure, The Theme, danced by the Ls in bars 1-12 and by the Mn in bars 17-28; while The Theme is being danced (by those whom the deviser, Hugh Foss, calls the "outsiders"), their partners (the "insiders") dance three complementary 4-bar figures (or, occasionally, one 12-bar figure) of which the deviser identifies 57 (and invites others to devise more). A Celtic Brooch dance is any six of these different 32-bar sequences in succession and so an immense variety of combinations is possible. Hugh Foss identifies three groups of six sequences as detailed in the separate dance instructions:
  The Celtic Brooch (Elementary), The Celtic Brooch (Intermediate) and The Celtic Brooch (Advanced). He codifies and lists the 57 complementary figures. 

  Note that this video is of a display consisting of only four sequences, codes 10Ax3, 43A, 21C and 30A+40A+30A followed by a choreographed exit.

  Part of a compilation.  Starts at 2:20, goes to the end. Not the whole set is in view. Gives an idea of the dance but not suitable for instruction.

  Alas not available embedded.

comment:
  Generally good dancing in an apparently chilly class. The instructions say that after their second time, on bars 65-66, 1st couple should pass 4th couple right shoulder (as if all are starting a reel of four) to get to 4th place, but here they mostly step down.

comment:
  Danced twice through in 3-couple sets, as final part of a longer display.  The closer (bottom) set dances "Widdershins", the further (top) set dances it in mirror image, i.e. clockwise.  In the old parlance, that direction is called "Deosil", and so the title the dem team uses for the dance is Deosil/Widdershins"

  Twice through.  On bars 1-8 of the first time through, 2c makes wrong crossings in the reel across.  After 1st time through, a new couple starts at the top, and the old 1c dances a reel across with the old 4c.
