comment:
  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.

  Very well danced - with lots of exuberant variations, eg couples dancing poussettes instead of allemande, etc.

  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.

  Here danced in two 3 couple sets each each with their own ghost.

  According to the instructions, the reels of three are 8 bars long, but they are performed in 6 bars in this video.

  Danced at the Atholl SCD Club, Edinburgh, April 2022, in a five-couple set (though the dance is intended for a four couple set). The dance devisor is dancing first lady.

  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 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.

  Twice through, starting with middle couples, then all four couples. This clip starts with the dancing. The whole video also has an introduction to the dance. This explains the symbolism of passing a flag across the strait between north and south islands.

  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.

  Unfortunately you can only watch this directly on youtube.

  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 !

  This video starts part way through the dance but I left it because everyone finishes in the correct position at the end of that one but on the last one the dancers overshoot their places and don't end correctly.

  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.

  RSCDS Vienna Branch - dem at Christ Church Bazaar, 19.11.2016

  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).

  German Team at the 2016 Newcastle Festival. The Carnforth Book 2 instructions for 9-16 indicate dancers turn BH almost once round and “open out” into 4 hands round to the left. In this performance they release hands between the two figures.

  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).

  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.

  This clip just shows the first strathspey section. The LA dem team continue with their own, very different, version of the quicktime section (in reel time).

  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?).

  This video shows the original version of the dance. Subsequently there has been a slight revision to the turns in bars 5-8 and 27-28. So this video is downgraded to Reasonable.

  The revised version (2024) is shown in video #2.

  The E-crib and diagram have both been updated to show the revised 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.

  A clear demo, though it looks as though the dancers do not dance down for all of bars 9-12, perhaps due to restricted space.

comment:
  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.

  Twice through as part of a longer demonstration. The end of the 2nd repeat is slightly adapted to lead into the next dance. Good demonstration but rather dark video.

  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.

  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.

  Sadly this video now seems to be completely unavailable.

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.

  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.

  There are a few differences from the original instructions: 1st couple are on the opposite side for double triangles and diagonal reels so they enter the reels across the opposite way and skip the final turn.

  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.

  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".

  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.

  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.

  This video has now been replaced with a better one by the same "scotbordersdancers" group.

  This display shows some serious errors, such as not making clear facing lines across on bars 8, 16 and 20. Much of the charm of the dance is lost.  Do not use it to learn the dance.  Eric Ferguson, editor

  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.

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.

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.

  Twice through, in two back to back sets, as part of a longer demonstration. The last 12 bars of the 2nd repeat are adapted to lead into the next dance in the medley.

  For our performance at the Kaiviertelfest 09/2023 we danced it as a medley in a mix of 1x32 bars Strathspey and 1x32 bars Reel. A beautiful dance that is ideal and has proven itself for our small group in Salzburg. Many thanks to the inventor Jane Lataille.

  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.

  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.

  Small mistake that's immediately corrected in bars 11+12, where 1st and 4th man don't complete the half Rights & Lefts.

  Dance deviser and dedicatee dancing as first couple. 
  Small mistake in bar 25+26 (2nd time through) where first couple turn RH 3/4 instead of setting.

  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.

  This 5 couple dance is here being done in a 7 couple set. Good dancing, but its a slightly wobbly and distant view of only part of the whole set, so not always easy to understand whats going on.

  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.

  Twice through as the first part of a longer demo. The video frequently cuts between two different camera views but its still fairly clear to follow.

  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.

  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.

comment:
  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.

  It shows the last two repeats (preceded by the last few bars of the previous one).

  At the Watford and West Herts Scottish Society Caledonian Ball 2017 with Marian Anderson, Isobel Hodgson and Max Ketchin.

  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.

  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)

  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.

comment:
  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.

  This clip of the dance is preceded by a long recap of the background and of the instructions. The sets on view often omit to turn partners for the last two bars - but are clearly enjoying themselves.

  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.

  Twice through, in four sets arranged in a cross shape, as the final part of a longer demonstration at the Oxford & Cambridge Highland Ball 2020. Dem quality dancing, but in the last 2 bars of the poussette the instructions have turn RH while the dancers here set to partners. 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 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.

  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.

  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.

  Twice through.  High intensity, hyperactive, many "extras".  Good dancers.  Fun to see, but not to teach from.

  The set dances the original version of this dance, where [17-24] are just Fig8 for 1c, and not reels across. This is again the preferred version of the dance.

  Dedicated to Inna Savitskaya of St Petersburg and Appleby who enjoys dancing, walking and wild swimming. 

     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.

comment:
  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.

  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.

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

  Music is by Stephen Carcary and the Strathmore Sound - track 8 - Jigs (8x32 Bars) - from their 1998 CD The Band Boys. Tunes are Joe Foster's Jig/The Pomander Jig/My Dungannan Sweetheart/Donald Iain Rankine. Track has tempo slowed a little using Audacity.
  There are a couple of occasions where a dancer gets out of position briefly.

comment:
  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.

  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.

comment:
  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.

  Some lines are a little late in coming in and some dancers lose their place but danced with good teamwork (and mostly energy and flight) and gets better as the dancers relax. Videoed from excellent angle in good lighting but closest side of the set is partly out of frame. NZ Summer School Hogmanay 2015/16, band: Reel of Seven.

  Leftmost of the two fully-visible sets is a 5-couple set rather than standard 4, so there are some extra participants and embellishments particularly during the reels. Some extra interaction between adjacent sets. Very good fun social atmosphere and excellent music!

  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.

Danced to demonstration quality standard, but a minor slip of forgetting the targe in the 3rd and final repeat, quickly corrected, down grades the dance.

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.

  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.”

  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.

  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.

  Twice through as the first part of a longer medley. The last 4 bars of the 2nd time are slightly adapted to lead into the next dance.

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"

  This is a teaching video of a Scottish Country Dance. There are on screen instructions and a bar counter together with audio instructions. The dancers wear number coloured tabards to help the learner follow a particular dancer through the dance.

  The video was made by the Ochil Country Dancers in August 2014 in St Ninian's Parish Church Hall, Stirling, Scotland.

  Slightly adapted for a 3 couple set with the former 1st couple turning down to 3rd place as a new 1st couple starts.
  Also the corners here start bars 9 and 17 by casting whereas the instructions are to simply dance up/down the sides - as pointed out by the deviser in <<https://my.strathspey.org/dd/issue/1995/|issue 1995>>.

  The Milwaukee Scottish Country Dancers demonstrate "Loving Loraine," a 32 bar Strathspey for 3 couples in a set dance.

  Terry Garner (Milwaukee Affiliate Group and the Madison (WI) Branch) devised this dance, and Rebecca Winnie taught it, as a surprise gift  to his wife, Loraine Garner, for a milestone birthday during the Milwaukee SCD class in November.  They are the 1st Couple in the set. “Loving” (in the title) is used as both a verb and an adjective.

  The music is "The Silver Thistle Ball” by Mara Shea & Dave Wiesler on the Heather Hills recording. Terry selected it because it is a beautiful tune with leads by both piano (Loraine's favorite) &
  fiddle (Terry's favorite).

  Published on Nov 21, 2016
  'Snow Flurries' was on the programme for the Johnsonville SCD Club's final night for 2016.

  This strathspey was devised by Charlotte Williams (née Dunn) for the Lower Hutt SCD Club's 60th Anniversary. Snow is very rare in Wellington and the Hutt Valley, and the dance title refers to a time in 2011 when the district experienced just a few magical days of snowfall.

comment:
  The first half of each time through is fugal (really a canon, but everyone calls it a fugue) in which 2nd lady does exactly what her partner does, just two bars later. Patti Cobb was bandleader and arranged three tunes to be canons so the women dance to the recorder and the men dance to the fiddles.  Jim Oakden is on recorder and the fiddlers are Shira Kammen and Caroline McCaskey (the 2019 US Scottish Fiddle champion).  The jig tunes are Sailor's Wife, A Hundred Pipers, and Lady Elizabeth Cole.

  Cranberry Tart danced by members of the New World Dancers. This is part of a dance medley that also includes Lake Geneva and Second Salute to Miss Milligan. Taken from a performance at the Dixon Highland Games, CA in September, 2011. A rare opportunity to watch Greg Reznick dancing with the New World Dancers, the dance troupe he helped to form. 

  Please note: Despite the fact that the dance was recorded during a demonstration performed by good dancers, the video had to be down-rated to 'reasonable' for technical reasons. Due to the view-point it is hardly possible to use the video to understand the choreography of the dance from the video (but this is also required to get ratings 'good' or 'demonstration quality').

  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.

  Contrary to the final credit on the video, the Fiddle Solo is being played by Jimmy Ritchie, not Jimmy Shand. The two tunes are Jimmy Shand Junior (reel) and Jimmy Shand MBE (jig) both composed by Jimmie Ritchie.

  This video would be “demonstration quality” if it used the official music for the dance. The producers of the video can't be blamed for this because when this video was recorded the official music for the dance hadn't been picked.

  This short video shows a simple Scottish country dance from RSCDS Book 40, "Nice to See You". This dance is done "round the room" in lines of three facing each other (as in the dance, Dashing White Sergeant). After each repetition of the dance, the lines progress to meet the next line of three towards them. In the ballroom, there would be lots of lines of three all the way round the room. Here we only have 9 dancers involved, just to give the idea.

  Milwaukee Scottish Country Dancers demonstrate Laura's Wedding 32J 3C/4L devised by Sr Dorcas Baker, the founder of the group. It is danced twice through and a bit more to show the progression. The music is Miss Welsh's Reel, performed by Tera from the recording for the RSCDS Graded Book.

  This video is of the earlier 3C/4L version of this dance. Bars 1-8 and 17-24 are unchanged but in bars 9-16 the order of setting and moving is exchanged and bars 25-32 are completely different.

  Buttermilk Falls is a beautiful series of waterfalls in Ithaca. I seem to remember the elements of the dance were inspired by the shapes in the water. This was danced in Tawa in 1993, here for the first time. It does have elements I would no longer put in dances. Resurrected from VHS by John Patterson. Music by Peter Elmes.

  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.

comment:
  Based on a low-resolution video by Sabine Meier-Ude – this was transferred from WhatsApp on Sabine's mobile to WhatsApp on Marie's mobile to Telegram and then to my PC for editing, which was a slow process even so; I shudder to think how long it would have taken at full resolution! I replaced the original sound from the video (except for the applause at the end) with the recording I played during the dance, in order to get rid of my very loud prompting over the music. The recording is the audio track from the YouTube video Malcolm cites in the dance instructions – note how between the three parts of the dance there are “breaks” of two bars in what the pipe band plays, which the dancers cover by setting. The dancers deserve credit for doing this with very little practice; this is the second time we did the dance at the workshop and the first time was quite a bit more chaotic! More notes on the video are <<https://www.anselms.net/blog/the-making-of-the-highland-cathedral-video.html|here>>.

  An exuberant performance of a dance with unusual phrasing inspired by music from Pirates of the Caribbean. The dancing starts around 1:30 into the video after a little introductory pirate drama. The deviser and his wife start as 1st couple (though there are substitutions of couples each repeat during the performance).

  - schiehallion reels have additional people passing through the centre in promanade hold with the men (ladies dancing schiehallion reels as normal)
  - at the end of the schiehallion reels, set splits into 2 sets, and the rest of the dance is done as written, but in 2 sets

  Complete dance. 8 x 32 Reel devised by Jim Rae.
  No allocated music but "Rest and Be Thankful" seems to suit

comment:
  This video shows a demonstration medley of Seagreen and Two Furlongs interlinked. The dancing is good but this has required major changes to the dances. This clip shows the second occurrence of Seagreen where the last 4 bars are slightly changed to all dancing off.

comment:
  Part of a longer demonstration medley. This extract just shows the first 24 bars of Two Furlongs. The dancers then repeat bars 1-8 (instead of doing the Rondel of bars 25-32) in order to move into the next dance.

  Three times through.

  The instructions refer to the outer dancers as 1-3 and 4-6 on the sides and the central dancers as D1 and D2. Here all the dancers are wearing domino style numbers from 1 to 8 which get increasingly progressed. 1 and 2 start in the middle with 3-8 around them.

comment:
  The first six repeats look excellent, the last two have a few mistakes. However in all cases the corners are here dancing the final reels for 8 bars whereas they should finish in 6 bars.

  Danced by an amateur demonstration team in a 5-couple set, with deviations from the normal progression, and a few errors.  This is a part of a demonstration of several dances chained together.

comment:
  This clip is part of a longer medley. It shows the first 80 bars of the dance with a couple of changes. For the rondels in bars 17-24 the instructions say the outer couples should make the arches, but here the inner couples do. Also in bars 45-48 the promenading couples loop round clockwise rather than anticlockwise. Then, from about 19:52, the last 16 bars (hands across & casting then circle) are replaced with other choreography to link into the next dance in the demonstration.

  Complete dance - 4 x 40 Strathspey for 4 couples.
  Original music by Scott Band has not been recorded.
  Here Fifty Sixty-Five Strathspey played by Iain Cruickshanks.
  The final cross by 1st couple should be right hand (it is done once left hand here).

  The Quality might be considered reasonable as most of the dancing is correct.

  Music is performed by Tabbies' Delight (Kirsten Erwin and Adlai Waksman).  Tunes are "Lift Every Voice and Sing," "We Shall Overcome," and "Freedom and Liberty," arranged by the musicians.

  Unfortunately this video seems to be landscape mode but enclosed in a portrait frame which is then shown in landscape, so it is displayed in miniature.

  Cornelius McLean Sterling won a tune to be written by Elke Baker and dance to be written by Sue McKinnell at the 2024 Midwest Scottish Weekend (MSW) silent auction. Cornelius decided to dedicate it to Tim Wilson because of the profound impact Tim’s teaching and gracious care for dancers had on him at the 2018 MSW. Ceud Mìle Taing Tim Wilson is the result.

  The original tune  is "Ceud Mìle Taing Tim Wilson” by Elke Baker, played by Dave Mullen on fiddle.

  NB the deviser gave the option of using either standard or waltz hold poussette in reel time so both choices are seen here.

  And in the instructions the Philabeg is explicitly a variation where couples open out to dance out to the sides and back in again.

  Generally good, albeit with a few hesitations, but the music track seems to get progressively out of sync with the dancing. Devised by Anne Thorn to celebrate RSCDS Helensburgh & District's 40th Weekend School, danced at the 41st Weekend's Dance. Music played by Glencraig (Nicol McLaren)

comment:
  I have discovered a new video of Lauderdale Lads...sort of!...which I am however NOT going to distribute generally via SCD-SoCal-mail because although it is indeed announced as Lauderdale Lads 
  1. it is done as part of a round-the-room medley, 
  2. both its beginning and its ending have been altered, 
  3. at the end of the men's LH turn, W2's step-up has been eliminated, and 
  4. within the continuous eight bars of pas-de-basque half of them are not so, and at the end thereof the repositioning has been altered as well!  
  Interesting how a dance can (often with good reason) be altered for performance purposes but this is hardly the same dance and certainly of no value whatsoever as an instructional instrument!...and as far as I am concerned the SCD Dictionary (with which I personally have no connection) should not have posted it as Lauderdale Lads, and I am fairly confident that the SCDDB (with which I do enjoy a personal connection) will reject (or perhaps already will have rejected) it as such.  
   
  But merely FYI and for interest's sake, here 'tis...if you set your timing marker at 3:35 you'll just manage to catch it!

  In bars 17-24 1st couple should lead down followed by 2nd couple and back to progressed places, but here only 1st couple lead down, back and cast off.

  Charlene Lam was a member of the Livermore Class of the RSCDS San Francisco Branch
  for many years. Her constant good cheer and love of the dance kept everyone smiling.
  Sadly, Charlene passed before her time, leaving us all greatly saddened. In 2024, her
  husband, David Chang, announced a competition to devise a new dance in honor of
  Charlene.

  This reel by Mark Burt, with tune by James MacQueen, won the competition. A book of all submitted dances (Dances for Charlene) will be published in 2025.

comment:
  The animation plays at 120 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance is slowed down so people can learn the moves more readily. Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color, however the border of each dancer indicates what role they currently play so the border color may change each time through the minor set.

  Live music by Kana Otake and Akiko Kasama Saito.

  The dance was taught during the afternoon session, put on the evening social dancing programme, and subsequently encored. This video shows the encore. As such, exuberance has clearly got the better of some of the dancers and this should not be considered a demonstration performance.

  Twice through as the middle part of a longer display.

  The original instructions for bars 15-16 say 1st half turn as 4th couples turn once round into promenade hold so both have the men on the left for the half reels of 17-20. Then 1st couple need to cross out and cast while 4th couple do not cross but just divide and cast in bars 21-24. However the team here have both 1st and 4th couples doing half turn in bars 15-16 so that 4th couple have the woman on the left for the half reels and then both cross out afterwards.

  Danced in 3-couple set twice through.  

  On the second repeat, as the 1st couple go around each other (bars 21-24), the set chases around half-way in preparation for the next dance in the set.

  Taken from a very long distance.  Three times through in a 3C set, with modified progression (2,3,1).  The turn on [33-34] is not always done correctly.

  The dance may be done in strathspey or quicktime rhythms. Here it is an alternating medley of strathspey and jig.

  Blocked as the uploader will change the credits (which originally stated its strathspey and reel) and upload a new version to youtube.

  Gorgeous dancing to singing by Fiona Mitchell. This clip starts with the dancing. The whole video begins with a solo of the song.

  The performance here is adapted from the RSCDS Book 12 version for a 4 couple set (henced only graded as Good). The first 48 bars are done in three 2 couple sets and the turns of the last 16 bars are extended among all 6 couples.

  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, an old country dance in a square set called Round Reel of Eight. The music we used is by Muriel Johnstone's SD Band from their CD "Dancing Live from Blair Castle".

  Demo in a bar with roving camera so rarely showing the whole set. The back to back is often just two bars after extra setting. The LH changes in the diamond rights and lefts are in the opposite direction to the instructions (but still end in the right places).

  Once through demo at the summer school ceilidh. This clip starts with the dancing (to music by Ian Robertson). The video starts with a longish explanation of the dance as an escape from writing lesson plans for the Unit 5 teaching course. Coaching over the music is because exam candidates are expected to do this.

  Inspired by the golden camel statue in Hastings Street, London WC1H (near where the video was made). The central part of the dance is intended to show camels with single humps and two humps.

  There are a couple of quickly recovered minor glitches, otherwise fine.

comment:
  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.

  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 June 2016 at St Ninian's Church Hall, Stirling, Scotland.

  NB the deviser's surname is spelled incorrectly in the youtube video. It should be "Henrikson" (no C).

  The video was recorded at Scottish Weekend, Camp Saginaw, Oxford, PA, on September 22, 2024.

comment:
  Twice through, once each couple, in a three couple set as part of a longer display. The last few bars are adapted to get 1st couple to the bottom. According to the instructions 1st couple should half turn left hand in bars 3-4 but here they use the right hand.

  Demonstration of a dance "devised by Frank Cannonito in honor of Pete and Lena Anderson; final tune is Russell Court by Alasdair Fraser, also written for Pete and Lena Anderson."

  After the opening chord (3rd and 4th couple crossing) the video skips to show the last three times through.

  Recorded during the Summer Ball 2015 in Sterbfritz/Germany.  This is the Encore, so each dancing couple casts to the bottom when they finish.

  In bars 23-24 both 1st and 2nd couples are here setting together whereas the instructions have just 1st couple setting (as a reflection of bars 1-2).

  "The Mirror Maze" (SCDDB: 23054), a 5×32 Reel, devised by Viktor Lehmann. Dancers: Aya Ito, Margaret Hamilton, Sibylle Dalacker, Steff Eckert, Ute Scherrenbacher, Viktor Lehmann, Peter Sakurai, Martin Adam, Yang Lim, Ek Wisoot Trakulnamphueng. Thanks to Aya Ito for recording, 07 August 2025, The Old Dining Room, University of St Andrews, Scotland.

  This dance with its central figure “Reel of 5 (and GO)” goes back to a 2025 April’s fool. The deviser, also a teacher, sent messages to everyone of his class to prepare said but non-existing figure. And they took it very seriously! So much that he felt obliged to devise a dance with such a figure which is shown in bars 9-24.

  This one time through version has a few minor glitches/hesitations in the "Reel of 5 (and GO)", but you should get the impression.

comment:
  The dance is from the Imperial books. The RSCDS republication changed the wording and left out the diagram that clarified how the final solo figure is done.  Long steps and good phrasing are required, but it is a fine and fun dance.

  Video by John Patterson. This is taught at a fugues class in Wellington, October 2025. We did not have time to polish to demonstration quality, but the dancing is quite good. The phrasing of the dance is reasonably tricky. The music chosen is Peter Elmes and the Scotsmen playing "A Mile to Ride". The dance itself was given to Kristin and me when we left Ithaca, NY, in 1994 as a present from Terry Glasspool.

  Video by John Patterson. Taught at an afternoon fugues class in 2025. The dancers found the dance very challenging particularly the 4 person back to back at the end. In the end I decided not to repeat, but to move on with the afternoon with an easier fugue.

  The video starts just after the chord. There are a few variations in which shoulder is pulled back in the swirls (should always be right shoulder) but otherwise choreographically correct.

  NB the sound track needed to be replaced due to extraneous noise during filming and despite best efforts the synchronisation seems to be slightly off in part of the video.

  The dancers here are doing just six changes in the grand chain rather than the suggested eight changes (each one bar per hand). So the progression is 3,1,4,6,2,7,5 which also works.

  This video is from one of the London Gay Gordon's ceilidhs (around 2010?). It only shows the strathspey section and starts at about bar 11 of the first time through with dedicatee Cos (black shirt) and his partner Barrie as dancing couple in the centre. The first complete repeat starts at 00:40.

  The dance instructions (Collins book, p. 220) for bars 9-16 say "Pas de Basque | Coupé ; repeat".  In this video the set dances "Coupé | Pas de Basque ; repeat". 

  For bars 33-40 the instructions tell 2nd couple not to move on bars 35-36, but to step up together with 3rd and 4th couples on 39-40.  In this video 2c steps up on [35-36]

  The turns on bars 4-5 should be danced with 1st woman passing across in front of and below her partner while he dances towards the women’s side, both still facing down. On bar 5, retaining right hands, they turn towards each other to face the top, the woman having turned under her own arm.  This video incorrectly shows the men dancing below the women.

  The couple nearest the camera are fleetingly out of view, but in this dance the top two and bottom two couples are dancing the same figures (except in bars 33-36) so the choreography is generally clear - with the occasional hesitation.

  The dance was devised by Robert Senior for Ian Stuart Gray whose great uncle Robert Scott Gray served in the Dandy Ninth.  The 9th (Highlanders) Volunteer Battalion, formed in Edinburgh in 1900, was the only kilted battalion of the Royal Scots.  It adopted the Hunting Stewart tartan, and this distinctive dress earned it the nickname of "The Dandy Ninth".  Robert Gray was killed at the Battle of the Somme in 1916.  Music for the lead tune, Robert Scott Gray, was composed by Chris Dewhurst who is playing with Julie in this video.  Ian Gray is dancing as 1st man.

  From the first time this was danced in 1993 at Tawa. Resurrected from an old VHS tape and hence the video quality is not what it might be. Converted to mp4 by John Patterson. Music by Peter Elmes.

  Note that since this video was filmed the dance was revised so that the setting, previously in bars 17-18, is now moved after the half reel of four.

  NB this clip starts towards the end of bar 2.

comment:
  Excellent dancing, but most of this demo uses two 2C sets joined at the bottoms, and dancing in mirror image to each other. The "down the middle and up" is modified by adding a RHA. That makes the video unsuited for learning the dance.

  Three times, once each couple, in a 3 couple set (the 2nd time the bottom couple cross up to start).

  Twice through as the second part of a longer medley. Its a 2 couple dance but here 3rd couple are adding some extra decoration which makes for a better show but is not so good for those wishing to learn the dance.

  Three times in a 2 couple set. Good fun, here with the men going first rather than the women, and little setting to partners.

comment:
  Excellent dancing. However the dancers closest to the camera are doing an adaptation for four dancers instead of three. The two pairs at each end are dancing reflected footwork in the setting parts (as are the lines of three behind them). A very impressive demonstration which is faithful to the spirit but not the letter of the original.

comment:
  This clip starts with the "Scissor progression" in bars 25-32 of the first repeat (skipping over earlier issues). It then continues with the 2nd repeat where there is some eventually recovered confusion in bars 25-32. The group here is walking rather than dancing and bars 33-40 (a circle) are consistently omitted. This is therefore not ideal for learning the dance, but so far its the only video.

  8 times through, good dancing. However, all first couples are slow to dance up on [31-32], so that they are late for setting to the corners.  Note that the Manual recommends a phrasing that disagrees with the book 9 description.

  Walked rather than danced at a costume regency ball for the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth.

  The two hand turns are here done symmetrically which looks more natural than doing both round to the right as in video #1.

  The instructions for bars 9-16 indicate that the men should turn to face up on bar 12 as the women dance down one more bar then face up on bar 13. Here they all turn together. Also in bars 19-20 and 23-24 the dancers are circling all the way round. The instructions just have "dance four hands round" but this could be interpreted as half way each time as it happens twice. At least that is the interpretation of the crib writers. It has also been noted that the music should be a pastoral/song tune style whereas the video here used a more traditional strathspey.

  I stumbled across this simple dance by Hugh Foss who wrote a lot of much more complicated dances. My class enjoyed it a lot. The 4 bar turns at the start are simple but different and fun.  The turns at the end are 6 bars vs 2 bars.  So the dance provides a good exercise in phrasing.

  The Three-Legged cat' was danced at the Johnsonville SCD Club's tartan night on September 28, 2015, in the Johnsonville School hall, Wellington, New Zealand. Margaret Bailey, who now lives in Nelson, once danced regularly with this club.

  The MC was club tutor Rod Downey, and live music was provided by Mild Heather - ie Wild Heather minus one member: Lynne Scott, Anne-Marie Forsyth and Mary McDonald. Sharlene Penman was overseas at the time.

  Just a note for anyone planning to do this dance in future: After the advance and retire, the first couple should be not so much simply dancing around each other as dancing a close 'gypsy turn'.

  The devisor writes: "The first couple are dancing the interactions between Tripod and Pinky, so dancing around is up close and glaring!"

  So just think of warring cats!

  Danced, very clearly, once each couple in a 3 couple set. 1st couple here use pas de basque rather than skip change to advance and retire. The final chase should be mostly in tandem but here some couples take nearer hands from the start.

  This clip shows twice through the standard version. In the full video this is preceded (from 57:07) by a slightly modified version where each couple dances on in turn for the fugal part.
  (This video is rated “Good” because it doesn't use the original music; otherwise it would be “Demonstration quality”.)

  The travelling steps in Bars 1 - 8 need to be short.

  NB the instructions for bars 19-22 say all turn "once or twice" with both hands. Here scotbordersdancers turn once (after trying to turn twice but finding it rushed).

  The dance's full name is 'Salute to Bill Hamilton of Roseneath and Netherby', referring to the two areas of Edinburgh where Bill lived. It was devised by Alex Milligan and friends, with an original tune by Iain T MacPhail. Bill and Alex both ran country dance clubs in Edinburgh for many years, and this dance by Alex picks up some of the figures used in Bill's dances. It is danced here twice through, to live music from Iain MacPhail and Isobelle Hodgson.

comment:
  The dancers sometimes give left hands in the middle of the half double Celtic reel. The class teacher has found that this is useful in maintaining the shape of this formation, particularly when inexperienced dancers are dancing. The music used is The Shetland Fisherman's Backstep composed by Ronnie Jamieson. The original tune for the dance is Ronald Cooper (also known as The Shetland Two-step) composed by Ronnie's father, Frank.

  Dancing is demonstration quality, video is downgrade as danced twice through in a 3-couple set, with the ending, first time through, modified to cater for the 3-couple set.

  Superb dancing but here it is slightly adapted as a five couple dance. Twice through ending with a flourish.

  Méaudre Reel Club, Under 12, Newcastle Festival, 2020.  Well danced with vigour and enthusiasm, but the footwork and positioning are not yet up to demonstration level.

  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.

  A good performance but constant cutting between camera angles makes it a little hard to follow at times.

  A few hesitations here and there but generally clear demonstration of the choreography.

  Wouter Joubert, who composed and recorded the music for this dance, is starting as 4th man.

  Once through as part of a longer demo with the end adapted to lead into a square set. Here danced with the expected half R&L (rather than the RHA/LHA option).

  4 x 48 Reel for 4 couples devised by P Avery and published in Geordie Diamond book
  danced several times through by scotbordersdancers

  Although approved by the deviser the last 8 Bars as danced differ from the full instructions which demand careful timing if followed to the letter.

  Music - Lord and Lady Ridley of Blagdon (Ian Thow) played by Robert Whitehead & Danelaw Band

  Twice through as part of a longer demo. The end of the 2nd time is adapted to change the orientation of the set for the next dance in the display.

  1st and 4th couples here start the grand chain by crossing whereas the revised instructions for the dance specify starting up/down on the sides (the first published version was not explicit about this).

  Twice in a 2 couple set. Although the dance is intended as a 32S+32R medley, the dedicatees of the dance here chose to do twice strathspey then twice reel.

comment:
  NB the opening chord and first 2 bars are missing. There is an occasional hesitation but generally the choreography is clear (though occasionally some loops at the top are briefly out of view).

  After this video was filmed an original tune for the dance was composed by Ian R Muir with a recording by the Craigellachie Band.

  "Seppuku Sweet Apology" (SCDDB: 23538), a 8×32 Jig, devised by Viktor Lehmann. Dancers: Sibylle Dalacker, Karin Böttcher, Steff Eckert, Eleni Lanz, Viktor Lehmann, Hartmut Munser, Clemens Mannert, Annika Böduel. Thanks to Elisa Schmidt for recording, 17 March 2026, Waldorfschule Heidelberg, Germany.

  This dance is dedicated to Aya Ito. During her stay at my home in 2025, we managed to watch „Shogun“ and to discuss Japanese bussiness apology rules in great detail. This dance is about Seppuku (better known as „Harakiri“ outside of Japan) and the Seppuku Sweet, with first couple representing the knife; the first eight bars symbolise how the slit is set; the second eight bars - well, those are about how the knife affects the intestines; the Grand Chain applies the jam to the sweet and the last eight bars wrap it all up and put the sweets in the box.

  We had done some pretty difficult dances to prepare 2 of our dancers for the Lyon Spring Fling. This was a ‘relax’ dance.
