In a typical Open Level class, we review a point of technique or styling, and then practice the patterns or formations needed to do a particular dance. Then we dance it! And so on through the class.
More about Scottish dancing:
Scottish Country Dancing is descended from the English dancing of the 17th century, but soon after being introduced in Scotland, evolved into its own style with the adoption of distinctly Scottish figures and technique from Highland dancing, as well as from French ballet. A social dance form, Scottish Country Dancing is done in a set of (usually) 3 to 4 couples in two lines facing one’s partner, dancing with all the others in the set, and changing partners for each new dance. Scottish dancing emphasizes teamwork and sociability, as well as the correct technique for doing the footwork. The goal throughout is enjoyment!
No prior experience is necessary, there’s no need to sign up with a partner, and no special footwear is required (comfortable flat-soled shoes or sneakers are fine).
