SCD = SCOTTISH COUNTRY DANCING
People have been enjoying Scottish country dancing for about three hundred years. It has
undergone an explosion in the twentieth century - and, now, in the twenty-first
century, you can find Scottish country dance groups around the world. For instance: Nairobi,
San Francisco, Osaka, Chicago, Berlin, Tucson, Paris, Kansas City, Bandar Seri Begawan,...
as well as St. Louis.
SCD is social dancing. You have a partner, and you dance in lines of men facing lines
of women - this is like the American dance: The Virginia Reel. The music for Scottish
country dancing ranges from energetic reels and jigs to the stately strathspey -
a form of music found only in Scotland. Violins and pianos provide music, and sometimes
bagpipes do as well.
Highland Mist welcomes beginners at every class - no prior dance experience is needed -
and you may come with or without
a partner. You don't need to have a Scottish background.
Just wear comfortable clothing, and dance or athletic shoes.
