to be fair, scottish country dancing doesn't involve the heel at all, so an scd dancer who wants a challenge or huge calves could do it all on their toes too
My friend was a hired DJ during college one time and he said he literally got dizzy watching dancers doing this. I miss my good friend. Rest in peace my friend.
Yes instead of P.E we had dance lessons at my high school in pre Christmas lessons because our school Christmas dance was first half Scottish dancing then after a break the disco. I think more boys danced in the first half than the second. So much fun.
I have Scottish heritage. I love Scottish/ Gaelic music. And I also love dancing. I love to watch guys in kilts dancing. I’m also intrigued by country dancing because it’s different than the usual dances in the USA. I just found your channel today and subscribed. Looking forward to watching your videos.
@@ScottishCountryDancing I'm sorry, I couldn't find a clip of that here on UA-cam, and I actually got the name of the movie wrong (sorry!) The movie was made in 1961 and it is actually called "On the Double". Kaye plays the role of an American GI in WW2 who has to impersonate a British (Scottish) General and his attempt to take part in a Scottish dance, in a kilt barely kept under control, is one of the funniest scenes in the movie. I would definitely recommend checking the movie out from the library if you've never seen it :)
@@TheJoyfulEye yes well when I looked it up I thought you must have meant On The Double! Anyway I’m glad you brought my attention to it, I will look it up. Thanks! 🤩
I love Celtic music The nun in school taught us To dance I love That Scottish Costume with the Plaid. And black velvet Top With White lace The Scottish dance is harder that Irish You have to Balance I tried to teach myself A little Highland Fling but it’s not easy Love Dancing To that tune I still can Go Round the Kitchen with Dingo My Mother Taught Me The Clare Set In Co Clare Ireland when I was A A wee.

My grandfather, on my father's side, was a Scot and my great grandpa, on my mother's side, was half Irish, half American Indian. I love everything Scottish or Irish or Indian. I suppose I'm just a mutt!
Great dancing! I can see where a lot of our American Square dance moves came from. I see you all are short in men too over there, lol! I don't know about how it is over there, but you can't hardly find a dance over here.....at least not very close.
We have quite a few dances around us in Scotland but live where several towns run classes and dances. You have much wider area to travel in the USA! Even far away in Scotland isn’t that far in comparison 😊

The girl in the red dress has to be an experienced Highland dancer. Look how she does everything on her toes.
You are indeed correct 🎉
😅😅😅 Yes, but I more like other dancers.

Very fun to watch. In this violent drugged up world we live in it's wonderful to see people bringing joy to others.

Condolences. Yes, I got dizzy too. I'd be lost if I tried that!
Wonderful to see these old traditions being maintained.
ook’aye! 😉🏴
We used to do all these at school in winter instead of outdoor games.
Super! 😊
Yeah, yes!....awesome....

In September we are invited to a Scottish wedding, outside. I hope someone is there to do the dancing. Mitlooks beautiful…and fun!
That’s so exciting! I hope you will get to do some dancing, I think it’s very likely!
I had a rehearsal for a dance this evening an hour ago and thins was the hardest dance. Incredibly impressing
It's so joyful.
As a life long dancer I was extremely impressed with the complexity of the choreography! Brilliant. Thx for sharing. Loved it
Thank you so much!
Very well performed! Enjoyed the dance and seeing these folks having fun enjoying their heritage. Kindness, Teresa
The girl in the red dress is a beautiful dancer, perfectly pointed toes.
She obviously has had many lessons in Highland Dancing.
Similarities to what colonists referred to as the Virginia Reel. Excellent. Fun to watch. Thank you.
Sometimes we dance the Virginia Reel at our Ceilidhs too
Loved this!
Thank you! Check out our other videos if you fancy it 😊

Very good
Danny Kaye takes this to a whole new level in "Double Time" :)
Ooh sorry to say I had to look that all up - can you send a link to that clip? He looks hilarious 😂

To be really Scottish it is tartan, not plaid.
I see many things in common w/ square dancing...which is part of where square dancing came from....😊
I saw the same similarities, reminded me of when I took square dance lessons decades ago. It was a blast!
Thank you!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :D
I wanna be old and dancing like that
Me too! The older dancers are fantastic aren’t they ❤
Love this 💞💞💞💞💞
Aww thank you
Super ❤
Thank you 🤩 we love it
My grandfather, on my father's side, was a Scot and my great grandpa, on my mother's side, was half Irish, half American Indian. I love everything Scottish or Irish or Indian.
I suppose I'm just a mutt!
Wow that’s great. I’d love to hear the story behind the half Irish/Native American couple! So interesting 😊
I think most of us whose families have lived here for a few generations can qualify for the mutt description. I sure can!
Jesus Christ. I got 😵💫 DIZZY just by watching that 👯♀️
Dizzy?
We learned these dances in school as part of the curriculum
That’s so lovely ☺️
It’s a good workout!
Bravoo@

Let’s dance a jig shall we!
Yes come along!
einfach suuuuuuper
Очень красивый танец, приятные мужчины и изящные дамы. Лайк разумеется и Або.
Thank you, if google translate is correct :D
One doesn't have to be Scottish to like and play Scottish music
0:13 is when it starts (for taking notes)
I can trim it if it’s better
@@ScottishCountryDancingno no it’s fine
This looks rather complicated 👌
This looks a lot like square dancing in the USA.
How do they track of who they are supposed to be with at any given time?
Haha lots of practice! 💕💃🏼
Bonnie wee Jeannie McCall
Классно......
ES LA DANZA IRIS.
You have this dance as well?
This looks similar to American square dancing
why are the men wearing dresses?
It’s a traditional Scottish kilt!
Kilts are worn with shirts. So they are not dresses. They are usually worn for special occasions and formal events
And since there’s often a gender disparity in attendees some women dance in men’s positions for some dances
Alzheimers ? Never heard of it !
Nothing promoting sex or even subtely hinting at it, makes it clean and sanctified!!!
wow it seems like everybody would get dizzy from going around in circles
Yes I sometimes do but perhaps with a different dance… you should check out our others! 😂
