    I am from a small village in Scotland and we learnt these dances for gym class at school. We used to go down to the local community hall on weekends and show off what we learnt!
    It is really, really fun! Especially when everyone knows all the moves.

      QUÉ SUERTE TUVO USTED EN NACER EN UN PAIS DEL PRIMERISIMO MUNDO. YO, SIN EMBARGO, NO TUVE SU SUERTE. POBRE, MUY POBRE Y EN UNA DICTADURA FRANQUISTA. PERO MIENTRAS ENTREVEÍA EL VIDEO Y LO ESCUCHABA, SOLO ME ACORDABA DE LOS PAISES AFRICANOS, SIEMPRE DOMINADOS POR TERCEROS. NIÑOS METIDOS EN HUECOS EN LA TIERRA Y ESCALVANDO PARA LOGRAR ALGO DE ORO PARA SOBREVIVIR. SUS GOBIERNOS CONNIVIDOS CON LAS MAFIS DE OCCIDENTE.
      SEGURO QUE TODOS LOS DEL VIDEO SON CREYENTES , PARECE QUE LOS POBRES NO TIENEN A.LIENÍGENA QUE LOS PROTEGE.
      COMO MI MADRE DECÍA: UNOS NACEN CON ESTRELLAS Y OTROS NACEMOS ESTRELLADOS. ME MORIRÉ SIN COMPRENDER EL REPARTO DE LA RIQUEZA TAN DESIGUAL QUE GOBIERNA EL PLANETA.

    Factoid for all you fans of Downton Abbey: This is the reel that Anna learned from Rose during the family’s trip to Scotland (Season 3 Christmas special). The music playing when Anna reels is a slower-tempo version of the music playing when the lady in the blue dress (and later, her partner) steps into the center of the circle.

      Venus Gillespie Where I’m from in a small town in the North East of Scotland, Buckie, ceilidh dances are very lively we learn them in high-school and then perform them at a yearly Christmas party. And mostly likely any wedding you attend to will definitely have at least two ceilidh dances no doubt! It’s such a fun way to express the Celtic music and so heart lifting, another thing that’s nice is when I play my fiddle with my fiddle group at the church or in homes and we play Auld Lang Syne and everyone just grabs each other’s hands and sings! : )

    I used to round and square dance all winter long when i was younger, and i come across the scottishfiddle orchestra about 20 years ago. I truly miss watching the sfo on public tv; john mason was a true pioneer in his right.

      I know! I've tried so many times, but one of my feet is longer than the other and both of my legs are too short...
      But I DO enjoy watching other English folk getting it wrong!
