  NB: although the dance was originally devised for 2C in a 4C set, here it is performed in a 2C set, so after the first time through there is a new top couple for the second time through (with the former top couple dancing as the second one).
  The musicality of some dancers should be improved, and one should pay attention to completing the steps at the end, but the video gives good impression of the dance choreography and the transitions between the formations and steps.

  NB the last 8 bars of the reel section in this performance differs from the version of the dance summarised in the MiniCrib (which follows the original instructions). See the Extra info for the dance for the details.

  This video shows a variant of the 40 bar Dundee Reel as described in the Border Book.  The "RHA" of bars 9-12 is replaced by 6 hands round to the L, and "Lead down and up" in [17-24] is replced by "slip down and up".  Also most of the steps are closer to walking.

  This is the most brilliant dance I know and when it turned out that several people at Pinewoods 2017 had not done it we took over a pavilion and did it (twice through).  The recording is of the original tunes by Janet Kurnick performed by Patti Cobb and James MacQueen.

  Danced in three couple sets. Starts reasonably well but  there are a variety of mishaps in later repeats and constantly flickering video.

  NB this is a variation with four trios in a square instead of the expected three trios in a triangle and is marked as "Informal" for that reason.

  During the first repeat the set struggles a bit to keep up with a fast track. This is exacerbated in bars 25-32 by them trying to follow the petronella turns with extra setting steps which are not in the instructions and therefore they do not have time for the final left hand turns. Thereafter it gets increasingly chaotic. With instructions and diagram to hand you may get the general idea of whats supposed to happen. They are at least having fun.

  The polite turn at the end of rights and lefts the second time is omitted -- Tim was explicit that it should be included, as it  is in the first time through.  The dance is intended as a 3 cpl dance in a 4 cpl set, but has been modified here to be a 3 couple set.

  This clip has four repeats (earlier in the video the camera is moving around). The very experienced dancers here are  doing the variation with mirror reels of three on the sides in bars 9-16 instead of the default figures of 8 on the sides for 1st couple alone.

  Once through as part of a longer Newcastle demo. The dance is slightly adapted:  
  - on bars 1-8 both 1st and 3rd couples are dancing instead of just 1st couple;  
  - after the hands across figures of bars 17-24 the orientation of the set is rotated 90 degrees.

  First part of a Newcastle display. Excellent dancing and a lot of fun, but all the umbrellas make the choreography a little hard to follow! The end is also adapted to lead into the next dance. Its all a bit too (delightfully) distracting to be of much use in learning the dance.

  Three times through in a 3 couple set with 1st couple slipping to the bottom each time. The half reels in bars 9-12 and 21-24 should be left shoulder but are here danced right shoulder both times. This means 1st couple dance round 1st corner position twice in a row instead of just for the first half diagonal reel. They are having fun, but its not a good example to follow.

  Open air dancing in the sun under the walls of Roslin Castle.  Long line of sets, some poorly lit.  Videoed from a lower position, and panning from set to set.  Quite some inexperienced dancers, often missing the L shoulder pass on bar 24.   Not very useful for learning the dance.  8 times through.

  One dancer obviously does not know the dance, and there is a tutor 'on stage' directing him. Everyone else is good in the figures, but the footwork is mediocre.

comment:
  From the web; shows how the dance can look in a non-RSCDS environment.

  The Kandahar reel was written by two officers of The Black Watch, 3rd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland to mark the Battalion's operational tour in Afghanistan. Soldiers of The Black Watch made frequent use of Chinook Helicopters with their signature double rotor blades and they were often supported by American Army Black Hawk helicopters with a single rotor. The dance reproduces the use of these workhorses of the sky upon which the Army relies in Afghanistan.  The rotors go 1 1/2 times round, to symbolize the "150% commitment" expected.

  The reel is danced to Mr Jamie Forrester's Kandahar Reel or the Auld Reekie Band's Speed the Plough.

  At the end the outside couples dance a 3/4 chase.  This is a common variant in social dancing; it should be 3/4 Hands Round, much more difficult.  The clapping and extra twirls are not "official".

  Beautiful dancing but the choreography is heavily modified for this demonstration. Bars 1-16 for 1c+3c and 17-32 for 2c+4c are condensed into 16 bars with all couples dancing; bars 49-64, a repeat of 33-48, are skipped as are the last 8 bars. Great to watch but not so useful for learning the dance.

  The turns on bars 13-16 should be RH.  This set uses LH; this could be caused by the fact that there are some cribs in circulation that contain that mistake.

  On [5-8] and [13-16] the top couple should make a 3/4 turn and cast off to 5th place.  In three of the four occastions, the top couple in this video dances down omitting the turn.

  Danced at the "Schiehallion SCD Group" ball in Roosendaal, Netherlands, on 3 march 2013.

  The full video is longer, but only this last time through gives a clear view of the dance.  Note that for bars [17-24]; the arch should be made on [19], and the three other couples should start to dance down at the same time; this set is 2 bars late, and therefore starts the Allemande late.

  The video has a large bit in the middle showing only the band, but it does return to the dance floor later.

  It was recorded on the 31.03.2012 during a social at "De Kam" in Wezembeek-Oppem near Brussels.
  Music was provided by the "Inverrhine Scottish Dance Band".

  The video is in error.  The Promenade is danced for bars 25-28, the Grand Chain for 29-32.  The Promenade should be from 25-32, the Grand Chain from 33-40.

  Also, on 13-16 the Women should dance Left Shoulder round the Man and out, not dance backwards.

  Dancers clothed in "Old Style".  Camera position and coverage very erratic, often showing only a small part of the 8C set. It is impossible to really follow the dance. The set deviates from the instructions on bar 5-6 and 13-14 by making lines across. Danced twice through, with the third time finishing in a muddled way.

  Demo, danced in a 3C set. Poor viewpoint (too low). Systematic errors: 1M starts Lsh to 2cnr in the Figure of 8 and 1c makes a LH turn to face 1cnrs; at the end 1c makes RH turn to side instead of Petronella).  Not suitable for learning the dance.

  Open air demo on grass, in a 4C set.  Reasonable point of view. Systematic formation errors: in the figure of 8 1M starts Lsh to 2cnr.  The 1c meet below 3c, and do the "hello-goodbye" setting with 3c (moved up to 2pl) and 4c, and step to 4pl (4c up) after their turn. At the end 1c turns RH instead of dancing a petronella to the sidelines.  Unsuitable for learning the dance.

  In this video, first couple start and finish on opposite sides. 1C does not make the full turn after the Ladies' Chain to enter the Poussette.  This option makes for a more natural transition from the hands across to the line across.  In the "Pilling" diagrams, 1c starts and finishes on own side.

  The deviser, Darrick Wong, gives background information from 0:40, with a quick recap starting at 1:07.


  The dance itself starts at 2:31, and is danced 4 times through (of 8).  It is an older version of the current dance, where 1c turns 1 1/2 instead of 2 times on (11-14), and the arches on [15-16] are missing.  The Baratte is danced facing down, and there is only a (too) short turn to face 1st corners.

  This is a video of the dance being taught; no actual dancing. It contains no information that is not available in the dance description.  In addition the video has bad lighting and is fuzzy.

  This is a poorly recorded video, and the dancing is mediocre. The set goes wrong, and starts again on 1:12.  That failed part has been blocked here.  The video has the name "The Glens of Angus", but it is Drewry's Tappie Toorie.  Another video from the same occasion shows this dance being taught.

  The video was uploaded by "Heidi Afschar".  Her photograph can be found on http://rscds-losangeles.org/PDFs/GC_Mar12.pdf.

  Demo at Summer School 2012 - week 4.  Twice through. This is a dance for a 3C set.  On 2nd time through, the old 1c+4c also dance a 2c knot to change places. At the end, the final bars are modified to link to the next dance of the display, in a square set.

  In the first part of this video the MC gives a recap of the dance.

  Johnsonville SCD Club hosted the New Dancers' Celebration in Wellington, New Zealand this year. The dance was held at the Newlands Centennial hall and Lynne Scott and Associates provided the music. Jean Malcolm and Richard Hardie are the band's other members. "The Kingston Flyer" was devised by Noeline O'Connor and takes its name from a well-known South Island tourist train. Our MC was Johnsonville club tutor Rod Downey. Oh, and please note the bunting around the hall - this was its first outing. Several of Johnsonville's new members held a bunting bee, using donated tartan and plain fabric.

  The dance should end with the 1s pulling back right shoulder to swirl into place, optionally they may swirl round each other into place.  Note that the figure in bars 17-24 is quite long, it is based on the Thomas Wilson's (no relation) 1811 description of the figure that morphed into what is now called Double Triangles.

  The final swirl into place is omitted by the second couple dancing.  The optional long swirl into place is not performed.  
    
  Recorded at the interval at the San Francisco monthly party March 3, 2018.

  Five couples Round the Room. Twice through.  Contrary to the instructions, the cross [7-8] is danced LH.

  For this demo, the dance has been modified by keeping the couples together. In the original instructions, the Men stop the final promenade on bar 28, and the Women dance on, past one man and join the next as their new partner, to continue.

  The dance ending of the second time through has also been modified, the dancers moving into the longwise set for the next demo.


  The information for this dance has been derived from the video taken at Birmingham, Scottish dancing at Friday Folk New Year's Eve Party 2012. See http://youtu.be/S_6xmqAc9RE, from 2:20 to 3.20

  The video calls the dance "Mairi's Wedding", but 1c always passes R shoulder in the middle ("Mairi's Divorce").  There is slight change to the figures, so that 1c ends in 3rd place, and then makes a turn and cast to reach 4th place when the next couple starts. 4 times through.

  Towards the end of the dance, most couples finished the dance with a birl instead of turning with the right hand. 
  There were one or two 5 couple sets in the Hall so Ian Muir kindly played the music 10 times through.  Therefore the first and second couples in the other sets got an extra turn.

  This video was made at Kuckucksnest, Schluechtern, Germany.

  It shows a truncated, 40-bar, version of this 48-bar dance. Basically, bars 9-24 are replaced by parallel figures of 8 round 1c and 3c.  Changes are also made to the reels.  Consider this video as giving a general impression of the original dance, not as an example from which to learn.

Three were old dances from the 18th and 19th centuries and three were modern dances. This was the third, a modern Scottish country dance devised by Avril Quarrie called Going Dutch. We used music by Bob McMurtry, "The Devil's Quandry", downloadable from cdbaby

  The pipe tune used is not the Jigtime Polka, but the dance is in fact the Garry Strathspey, contrary to what someone states in one of the comments. It is danced by two all-female sets viewed from behind the ladies' side. (You can tell it is behind the ladies' side because first couple dances up the middle on bars 13-16). Some mistakes and false starts, but a good overall impression of the dance.

  The sets are on stage in the back of the hall, viewed over the heads of the audience, and show only the heads and bodies.  It is well-nigh impossible to follow the dance, unless you know it well.  Useless for learning or teaching.

  This is German folk dancing, using walking steps. The figures are exactly the same as for the SCD dance of this name, except that the final birl has become a BH turn R and L. Until there is an SCD video, this one can be used to show the dance.

comment:
  On bar 21 - 24 instead of a right hands turn, 1st couple dance or lead down below 3rd couple and cast up to 2nd place.
  There are some more mistakes, but the video still gives a reasonable impression of how the dance goes.

  Good dancing in a social setting. Good view from above.

  A note by Robb Quint :  the right-shoulder pass of W1 and M3 on bars 7-8 the first three times through in the video is incorrect.  Elizabeth Campbell was kind enough to confirm directly in Northern Ireland that left-shoulder pass is correct.  Elizabeth herself begins in M1 position; it is not until she is herself dancing M3 fourth time through that the left-shoulder pass is danced correctly.

  The recording started late; only the final 2 times through can be shown.  The music quality is poor.

  There is another (3x through) video of this same demo taken from floor level behind 3c position.

  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)

  On first time through bars 17-24 are wrongly danced as a 6 bar chase + a 2 bar turn.  It is done correctly the second time (start at 1:05) as a 4-bar chase + a 4-bar turn.  The couples following have difficulties.

  Jim Stott, who is on the Management Board of the RSCDS and an active member of the Aberdeen Branch, began teaching P4/5 pupils at Meiklemill Primary School, Ellon in September 2013 to promote 'Jigs and Reels'.

  The class learned a lot of Ceilidh dances, then were introduced to several dances from the Jigs and Reels pack offered by the RSCDS.

  Jim worked with the teacher to practice steps and formations with her class during the week, and they all gained a Bronze Accreditation Medal and the school got its 'Bronze RSCDS Accreditation'.

  The children passed their Introductory Medal Tests in June 2014 and then learned how to dance 'The Honeymoon' for their Headteacher's retirement in December 2014.

  Medley: Jig - Strathspey - Reel

  This dance has been changed since this Rechberg workshop, where Fred DeMarse taught the original version, which starts with 1c+3c set, petronella.   The definitive version starts with 1c+3c petronella into the center and set.

  Note: Different to what is shown in the video, the final description says that on bars 15-16 ALL couples should set and the final turn on bars 29-32 should be done giving both hands if danced in Strathspey time.

  The video shows "Back to Back" danced on the Saint-Petersburg Lermontov Ball (October 2014). The dance is danced 4 times, once for each couple. For bars 29-32 a variant is danced: instead of dancing out the ends and casting R to 2pl, 1c here dances out the sides, casts R and crosses in to 2pl.  1c then steps/dances down to 4pl.

  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 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.”

   Dance devised by Mary Cant to celebrate the opening of the new Fowlis Easter Village Hall in southwest Angus on June 22nd 2002.

  The hall was designed by Iain Dunsire of Battledown Studio, Forgandenny, Perthshire, taking inspiration from paintings of Angus stackyards by the eminent landscape artist James McIntosh Patrick.

  The formations in the dance reflect the architecture of the building. The wheels represent the round stacks of corn; the chase represents the passageways outside the main hall; the reel of four represents weaving in
  and out of the various rooms; and the dance finishes with a celebratory circle representing the main hall, comprised of the two largest stacks.

  The dancers in the video are: Jim McNicol and Joanne Reid, Bruce Marshall and Christine Cant; Bill and Mary Cant, and David and Morag Dorward. The musicians are: Jim Lindsay (accordion), Gillian Ramsay (fiddle), and Graham Sherrit (drums).

  The tunes are: The New Fowlis Hall by Jim Lindsay; The Spider’s Web by Bill Cook; Davie’s Brae by Jim Johnstone; and Hoddum House
  (Traditional).

  Geneva Park on Lake Couchiching was for many years the location of the Toronto Branch Annual Workshop Weekend. This dance was popular locally, as was the devisor, Bob Campbell.  In remembrance, the dance was on the programme for the 40th Tartan Ball in 2016.

  From an open air display;  once through.

  Note:  bars 3-4 and 11-12 are done incorrectly.  They should dance "Set and Link", normal for the Women and mirrored for the Men.   In the video, the lower couples do not loop into their new places as in "Set and Link", but dance up, hands held, and slip into place the "short way".

  The music is Miss Gibson's Strathspey by Donaldson, Gaddis, et. al. from the CD "Memories of Scottish Weekend"  (SW01).

  During the 3rd round of the dance the reel goes south in a serious way (at 2:44 in). The dancers regroup at the end of the phrase and continue without any other major errors.

  Systematic deviation from the instructions. 

  1c omits the second Inveran crossing to finish on opposite side; the instructions say to make a full Inveran Reel and 1c cross at the end

  At bar 16 1st couple ends on the sideline at the bottom, and then sets to 3c up/down. They should end back to back between 3rd couple and set across.

  At bar 24 in the video 1st couple ends on the sideline at the top, and then sets to 2c up/down.
  They should end back to back between 2ndcouple.
  But apart from that is a very good and clear video.

  The SCD Group Hong Kong published this new video, but mistakenly titled it "The Fireside Reel".

  Comment received on 2016-06-07:  This version is incorrectly danced. 1) After the advance and retire, then two hands round with your partner, the 1st couple should cast off and touch hands between the 2s in the centre of the dance, then cast up from below the 3s, meet in the centre after casting in between the 2s, and cast off at the top of the dance to 2nd place. 2) The 1st couple should turn 1st corner and then PARTNER and not go straight to 2nd corner. For these reasons, I don't consider this is a "good" version, at best it's "Social/Informal" and it is misleading.

  True.  Quality set to "block", in agreement with Anselm's suggestion.

  The deviser writes:  In this video the dance is performed incorrectly.  The original instructions clearly state that first woman and second man pass by right shoulders to finish the reel of four across.  This allows dancers to flow from the reel of four into the 'little spiral'.  PLEASE, do not teach dances from a crib unless you already have danced it, and, even then, double check with the original instructions. This plea applies to all dances not just mine.

  Danced at the Spring Fling 2015, held over the weekend of April 17th to the 19th in Hounslow, London.

  On the last day of Spring Fling a dance competition was held to choose a dance for the upcoming Book. In total, 46 dances from around the world were submitted and trialled, with 7 finalists chosen to be voted on by Spring Fling attendees.

  The winning dance, shown here, was the culmination of many hours of devising, dancing and deliberation. It was danced by Spring Fling attendees who, after a long weekend of dancing, with a lot of energy spent (and sleep lost), were up for one more dance!

  Thank you to all who submitted a dance and we are proud to present to you "The Spring Fling Reel".

  In his leaflet for this dance, Roy Goldring instructs the 2nd couple ONLY to step up on bars 3 and 4.  In this video the 3rd couple steps up too and down again.  That disagrees with the instructions.

  Filmed during Summer School 2016 for the RSCDS by Red Barn Studios.

  Note that this video shows 2nd corners, on bar 32, dancing directly from the half diagonal reel of four
  into the left hands across. This is not in the instructions but was unilaterally added by the Summer
  School teachers. In fact, the deviser's original intention was for 2nd corners to finish the half reel of
  four and then pivot right about in place to be ready for the left hands across (as seen in the video
  from the 2015 Spring Fling).

  The video begins with a title mentioning Ian Muir of Prestwick.  I am interpreting this to be the name of the band, not a dance name.  About 15 seconds into the video, the dance title, "The Findlays' Jig" is provided. 

  The video spends much time panning around the room or showing the band.  What is shown here the best we could find, a short section, giving a reasonable impression of the dance once though.

  Note: the video was assembled by alternating two videos, taken from top and bottom of the set.  They are beautifully linked, but the switches between the two views, occuring at odd moments, are confusing as one cannot follow individual dancers, and so learn the dance from the video.  Let's hope for a new video that does not switch viewpoints; that would be more useful.

  These sets still follow the outdated instructions to make nearly a full turn om [1-2] and [9-10], puttting M below W on the midline.  This makes it nearly impossible to do the associated setting neatly.

  In this video the dance is performed as a S32+R32 medley, four times through. The dance description says “This may also be danced as a strathspey”, so doing it as a medley is only logical in order to give each dancing couple the opportunity to experience it both ways.

  The dancers take allemande hold rather than promenade hold in the last 8 bars.  The caller blocks part of the view at times.

  Danced in two 3C sets, joined bottom to bottom, which rearranges itself from 6 longwise to 6 crosswise after first time through.  After the second time through the finals bars have been modified to make a transition into a 6C square set for the next dance,

  This is the assembled party-goers dancing after a demo and talk-through.  The honoree Roy Hayter is the man in the orange shirt in the center of the room, dancing with his daughter-in-law, Joy Hayter.  The band was better acquainted with the tune in this version than in the demo video.

  In this display all couples have replaced the "half turn partner" on bars [5-6] and [13-14] with setting.  
  That makes the couples end up on the correct places at the end, but the dancing is just wrong. This error makes the video useless for the database, so I have blocked it.  Eric

  There are lots of great videos of Scottish country dances available, and I use them quite frequently if I want some details about a dance.

  But those video always show the dance from the outside and do not catch a dancer's point of view. And dancing is so much nicer when you are part of the set rather than watching from the sideline.

  I wanted to make a video, which is shot from the inside and provides some immersion feeling. We ran through the dance more than a dozen times and I collated one version from all the takes. I did not succeed of really catching a single dancer's perspective, as the clip from the body cameras were too hectic; but I like the result well enough to share.

  Contains some variations; danced according to description until bar 48 and for bars 81 - 88, but:
  in bars 49 - 64 it's the Grand Chain+Setting (which should be in bars 65 - 80)
  in bars 65 - 80 there's arches+setting, where the description (for bars 49 - 64) specifies couples dancing past each other w. slip-step+BH turn

  Wearing/not wearing the yellow sash is not distinguishing W from M.

  This is a teaching video of a Scottish Country Dance. There are audio and 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 dance was recorded in St Ninian's Church Hall, Stirling, Scotland in February 2016.

  For bars 17-24 the original instructions say:  1st couple turn by the right hand, lead down the middle, cross below 3rd couple and cast up one place on the wrong side (2nd couple move up on bars 19 and 20)

  This agrees with the crib and the diagram.  The video deviates slightly from the instructions, in that 1c already moves down on the second half turn..

  The dancing itself is of demonstration quality.  On [29-30] only 1st couple should set (and cross on [31-32]).  As all couples here set on [29-30], the video has been reclassified as "good".

  The other videos of this dance do not show the different nature of the reels in Tulloch Gorm, instead doing them as in Cadgers in the Canongate.  In the San Francisco branch we have always danced these parallel reels with the 1s crossing home on bars 7&8 so that those bars, and 9&10 become something like a gypsy into a chase.  Quite a nice movement.

  This dance is still being tweaked; it was written in response to a story about a close encounter of the slothful kind, and because the story is so good and we just can't keep straight face, we are dancing with slothful toes.

  The Half Sloth Reel of 4 appropriately takes a full 8 bars.

  Three times through excerpt from a lovely demo display with two back to back sets (joined at 4th couple). One hesitation in moving up during the 2nd repeat.
  In principle 1st couple should give hands when changing places up and down in bars 17-24.

  Ninety years ago, in 1927, the Scottish Country Dance Society held its first Summer School here in St Andrews. In the same year Book 4 was published.  

  To celebrate this occasion the team demonstrated three dances from that book. They started with ‘Torryburn Lassies’ then danced ‘Haughs o’ Cromdale’ and finished with ‘The Merry Dancers’.  The dancers come from Canada, England, Germany, Hungary, Norway and Trinidad. The team was trained by Mervyn Short and accompanied by Robert Mackay on the piano.  Filmed at Younger Hall in St. Andrews, the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society holds their Summer School every year during the months of July and August.

  Marjorie McLaughlin writes:  There are three mistakes in the video and, as they are done the same way by all of the dancers, I assume it was taught incorrectly, as opposed to a mistake by a single couple.

  Bars 1 - 2  the ladies dance a Petronella turn to face partners on a diagonal line.  In the video the gentlemen are moving slightly right and left to form a straight line, which is incorrect.  

  Bars 5-8 the turns are Right Hand turns, not two-hand turns as shown in the video.

  Bars 29-32 both couples turn partner Right Hands to face ready for the next repetition, not two-hand turns as shown in the video.

  Cayuga Lake is a beautiful ``finger'' lake in upstate New York. This was danced for the first time here in 1993 in Tawa. Nowadays I  would have had less repetition in the dance, but it is still a reasonable entry in the Cane Toad Collection. This is resurrected from an ancient VHS tape and converted to mp4 by John Patterson. The quality of the recording had deteriorated a wee bit.

  Dance written for the boys (Carlton and Alex) ``joining'' our dancing. This is from 1993, and recorded in Tawa. The music is from Peter Elmes who selected the tunes. This is resurrected from an old VHS tape, and converted into mp4 by John Patterson, hence the deterioration of the video quality. The dancing is good, especially as this was the first time it had been danced.

  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.

  This was in fact the first time the dance had been danced. This was by a group of very experienced dancers in 1994. I have recovered this from a video taken at the time. The three tunes used by Peter Elmes are in the title page. I have made no changes to the dance since and the recommended tune is the second in the set.

  Danced in 1994 at Tawa. Resurrected from a VHS tape by John Patterson. Watching Iain Boyd and Noeline O'Connor dance together in the Cane Toad Jig is a joy with their lovely covering. Music by Peter Elmes.

  [The video starts about 2 bars into the dance].

  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 the 2nd time through, 2nd couple only turn one and a half in bars 3-6 which is very gracefully recovered at the end of the Bourrel].

  There is also a simplified version for near beginners  in the instructions. It differs at bars 9-24 which need the most phrasing.  I am not sure why everyone is slenderized. The music I am using is Nottingham Lace recorded live.

  Danced in three couple sets with a modification on bars 27-28 (1st couple cast instead of setting a second time). The first time through is the clearest - after that the camera is moving around.

  Not sure this is 'demo' quality as there is no set music for it!
  Notes:
  (1) the dance is done just three times through
  (2) the transistion to a new top couple bringing in the new third couple as the cross up into the 3pl R&L as the old dancing cpl step down behind them
  (3) at the end of bar 32 the lady may omit the polite turn may to make it easier to get into the  reel but it is possible to do te ;polite turn and get into the reel.

  Apart from a variety of individual dancers mistakes, the version of the dance being performed here seems to consistently differ from that described in crib and diagram in several places:  
  - in bars 3-4 1st and 4th couples here set on the sides and turn more than once RH instead of petronella and half turning RH;  
  - at bar 32 1st and 4th men do not end the reel of four across by taking RH;  
  - in bars 33-36 1st and 4th couples dance half way round in promenade hold instead of forming one line.  
  NB John Drewry revised this dance but the video shows another variation, neither the original or revised versions.

  I've found that it's quite often that there are people left over for the Dashing White Sergeant.  Rather than having people sitting out, below is a link to a new video showing how to do the dance with 4 rather than 3.    I know it's reeling, thus beyond the pale to many fellow SCD-ers, but please would you consider adding it to your databases.  Iain Ross

  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 second, an old Scottish country dance called Knit the Pocky. This music is by John Renton and his SD band, available from the RSCDS (Book 11). You can see a compilation-video of all the six dances we did at http://youtu.be/Z1pz7nfWj10

  Last two complete repeats (starting at offset 0:56). The video starts about 8 bars into the previous repeat.

  In bars 5-6 the instructions suggest 1st man & 2nd woman should retain hands and half turn before casting but here they just pass right shoulder.

  This dance is published as a strathspey but the choreography is here done in reel time - hence is classified as "Reasonable" despite being done well by good dancers. Twice through as part of a longer display.

  Excellent! But identical footage to video 1 (https://youtu.be/0_3-dV56y3g). So this one is blocked to avoid unnecessary duplication. If video 1 ever disappears this copy should be unblocked.

  Part of a longer demo. In many places it differs from the instructions: bars 21-24 and 45-48 should be set and turn both hands (rather than a 4 bar turn); in bars 49-56 the dancers should loop round standing dances (rather than turn them).

  In the last 8 bars of each turn the corners are supposed to cast away from the approaching 1st couple which does not always happen consistently. NB the dance was originally a reel but was subsequently changed to be a jig.

  The version of the dance being done here differs from the published version in both bars 1-8 and 25-28. Bars 1-8 are replaced by the men dancing as the women later do in bars 9-16 (instead of advance, retire and loop around partner). In bars 25-28 all set twice (instead of just 1st couple dancing back to back).

  The dancers here do LH across 1 1/4 in strathspey but 3/4 in reel time leading to different progressions. A 3/4 LH across each time would cycle couples through all four places.

  Danced twice in a 2 couple set. Since 1st couple start on opposite sides the last 4 bars of the 1st repeated are adapted to 3/4 rights and lefts instead of 1/2 so all start the next repeat on the correct sides. The 2nd time is done as expected.

  A good performance which substantially differs from the original instructions in several places:  
  - Part 2 bars 1-2: 1st couple should turn both hands while advancing, here they just advance.  
  - Part 2 bars 9-16: here done as two separate reels instead of one with all in promenade hold.  
  - Part 2 bars 25-32: 1st couple here do not make the expected arch.  
  - Part 3: the Celtic Brooch figure is here replaced with Schiehallion reels.  
  Its nice to watch but not quite what John Drewry envisaged.

comment:
  Circassian Circle is an old dance existing in many variations. This video shows 10 such variations, referred to as "Figures", each done once through. The dancing is excellent but as none of the variations demonstrated here are actually the one chosen by the RSCDS to include in Book 1 it is marked as "reasonable" due to the different choreography. Also, as it is intended as a round the room dance but is here done with two couples, they have to wheel round at the end of each figure to be ready for the next one. The comments attached to the <<https://youtu.be/ZHhcExp1iBg|youtube video>> provide more information (first in Italian, then in English).

  Twice through, in two back to back sets, as part of a longer demonstration. The last 8 bars of the 2nd repeat are adapted to lead into the next dance.

  Twice in a 2 couple set. This is normally a round the room dance, but here after the first time the couples turn once round LH (instead of cross LH) to face each other again. After the second time they cross LH and end back to back in the expected progression.

  The phrasing of the hands across, round partner and hands across back in 8 bars (in 49-56 and 57-64) is evidently a challenging feature of this dance.

  Twice in a 2 couple set. The youtube comment states that as nothing is specified in the book or the manual *we decided to extend the reel with an extra loop (bars 31-32) to enter the lead down smoothly, the alternative would have been to cut the reel at bar 6 and we honestly did not like it.*

  Note that, as explained in the youtube comments, this is danced to very slow pastoral music, much slower and harder to dance to than the normal strathspey tempo.

  Twice in a 2 couple set. There have been long discussions about how much to turn in bars 1-16. Here the 1st repeat has longer turns to the midline and the 2nd repeat has half turns to opposite places. They hope everyone will be happy with at least one of these!

  Here with just one lonesome dancer (Robert Lockhart).

  The dance may be also done with additional dancers but they would need to follow curvier paths across the centre in bars 1-8 and 17-24 than is shown here in order to avoid each other: dancer(s) and ghost(s) should all pass left shoulder in the centre.

  Twice though as part of a display. The first time as expected in a 5 couple set though the last 6 bars are adapted to repeat the dance in a 7 couple set on the other axis.

  Good dancing but the camera view is between two lines of sets with neither of them completely in view so its not always easy to follow the dance.

  Was Reasonable but no longer available (youtube channel terminated).

  Once through (in a modified version) as part of a display. In bars 19-20 3rd couple cast off to 4th place instead of 5th place (underlined in the instructions!). The LH across of bars 29-32 is completely replaced by rearrangement of the 5 couple set into two 4 couple sets with extra dancers so the final circles are two 8 hands round and back instead of 10 hands. Excellent dancing but not so suitable for learning the dance.

  Excellent dancing but this extract from the Airyhall display at the 2020 Newcastle festival only shows the first 24 bars of the dance - in two back to back 3 couple sets (joined in 3rd place). The left hand set dances a mirror version, turning LH into allemande hold for an inverted allemande the end of which is adapted to lead into the next dance. The last 8 bars are omitted.

comment:
  Last dance before lockdown. The deviser notes:
  *In the first repeat, the transition from the fugue into the reel across is not really correct. Repeat 2 and repeat 3 (even more) show the correct transition. To make the entry into the reel easier for second lady, second couple should be ready to face in at the end of bar 16 being on the outside of the set.*

  In the original instructions, the advance and retire of bars 15-16 should be across the set, towards and away from partner, not up and down the set as is done here. (The dancers may have been following an earlier version of the MiniCrib).

  Good dancing but, as the youtube comments admit, an extra 8 bars have been added at bar 9 (between 4 hands round and the ladies chain) to make it an 80 bar dance instead of the expected 72.

  Part of a display. The dancing is clearly dem quality but the choreography has been changed quite a bit, especially the last 8 bars, so is classed as "good". The sets are joined in the centre and alternately inverted. The video at least gives a good impression of the dance.

  The reel from RSCDS Book 46 danced by members of the RSCDS Western Australia branch.

  It should be noted that in this performance, arms are raised at the start of the allemande and not during the end of the previous right hand turn.  This is the preference of both the devisor, John Brenchley and of Barbara Boyd, for whom the dance was written.

  The written instructions for the dance say that on bars 15 - 16 (the last 2 steps of the allemande) 1 couple dance a full left hand turn to face their corners.  
  This is not shown by the dancers in the posted video for this dance.  All the dancers slide past each other LS to their corners.   
     
  Video shows occasional extra turn&twiddle

  Three times in three 2 couple sets (without progression). The end of the 3rd repeat is slightly adapted to lead into the next dance in the demonstration.

  Twice through, once in each orientation, starting with a dance in rather than a chord and ending ready for the next dance in the demonstration. The turns in bars 9-24 are done twice (rather than once as per Book 34 instructions).

  Three times in a slightly adapted version. The dance is for 4 couples in a longwise set but here there are two extra couples who dance the 2nd repeat oriented across. The last 4 bars of each repeat should be a slow RH cross with partner but is here changed to switch the orientation.

  NB the sound track is out of sync with the dancing.

  Note:  Danced twice through in a 2C set, one time for each couple.  In a social dance context however, the 1st couple would dance again from second place, and then third place to finish at the foot of the set.  

  Excellent dancing (from Canberra) though using "See You Down Under" rather than the recommended music.

  Thoughts of Romance est une danse crée par les ados du Méaudre Reel pendant cette période de COVID où nous ne pouvions pas danser. Elle est à retrouver dans le "Dancing in Vercors, Book 1"


  Nous avons pu re danser ce samedi 8 mai 2021 en extérieur devant nos montagnes, et tester nos danses. Malgré les gestes barrières, nous avons pris beaucoup de plaisir et le sourire était derrière.

  This is the fourth dance of a dïsplay. The first 8 bars have been modified as they are part of the linkage to the preceding 3C dance.  The final bars of once through are cut off by the next transition.

  Excellent dancing but graded as Good because of all the choreography changes.

  Highly roaming camera angle (literally wandering through the room and between sets, also showing the band in between)  
  RSCDS Chicago Tea Dance 2020

  The instructions say bars 1-8 and 9-16 are a modified Helix with half RHA in 5-6 and cross RH in 7-8. Here they are doing the original Helix with half RH turn first then half RHA.

  After one complete time through the camera angle starts switching briefly to close-ups so the full set is often not in view until the last complete repeat.

  The team here are dancing bars 33-44 differently from the instructions. As couples dance in, curve right and dance out to the next side they should end in opposite gender places. Here they change lead so they always end in their own gender places.

  The dance was written for longstanding Johnsonville club members John and Aline Homes, who are dancing as first couple in the set in the middle of the hall nearest the band.

  Naramata Scottish Country Dancers, 2013. The dancers have a tendency to arrive a little early for the next phrase. The first 1st couple loop above 3rd couple instead of the expected 2nd couple in bars 25-32. The viewpoint obscures some of the action.

  The video on youtube has the erroneous header "Craven Reel" but is correctly introduced by the MC as Craven Jig.

  Although an excellent dem quality video, one of the dancers (Jacmel Dent) asked us to take it down from the site as she suffered a serious injury while dancing and finds this clip a distressing reminder of a very bad experience. Although she struggled on for the following two dances in the medley this is the only one she objects to.

  This clip shows the last two repeats from a longer video (at a cracking pace). Even by this point there are problems with the unusual sequence of LH across followed by RH across in the last 8 bars. The camera view does not completely cover the nearest set.

  The "gypsy" turns in the instructions (a term considered offensive by some) are here referred to as "right shoulder round" - though the video looks as though hands may be taken?

  Note that this video was recorded before the dance name and choreography was finalised (on youtube its just called "Judith's Dance"). In particular the video shows two half circles separated by set and cross whereas the final version has circle and back without interruption with all the setting & crossing before and after. Hence marked as "Reasonable" despite the good dancing.

  Once through, with a bar or two lost at the very end.  Camera switches between a close up of the dancing couple and a wider view of the whole set.  This does not interrupt the flow of the dance.

  The later half of the video follows the dancing couple using a closeup shot and consequently, the other dancers tend to go out of view.  However, the oblique camera position affords a good view of the dancers and the dance can be followed reasonably well.

  This clip shows the last two times through (slightly unexpected by the dancers). The first two times, at the start of the whole video, have minor errors.

  Broadlands Sunday Afternoon Class, 2016.  Danced only four times through, the nearest set being 3-couples, so couples drop to the bottom as needed.

  RSCDS Edinburgh Branch Demonstration Team, Dancing Forth, 2010.  Danced in an 8-couple set, with 1s and 5s starting.

  Excellent, but already in SCDDB as extract from video 5 (https://my.strathspey.org/dd/dancevideo/7763/). This entry is left in case the other video disappears some day.

  'Welcome to the Stagger Inn' danced by dancers from the Ribble Valley Branch RSCDS.  This is a round the room dance with music for 6 times through and is an excellent starter and warm up dance. Here danced just over once through.

  Twice through in a 3 couple set. Both times the final 8 bars are changed with the final half figure of 8 being danced before all turn partner RH (the instructions have the turn first). The 2nd time the ending is also modified slightly to lead into next dance.

  A shaky start with a baby in arms being carried as the dance began, once the baby had been rescued, then the dance proceeded in a more assured way.

  Three times through, once each couple, in a three couple set with the last few bars adapted to get the 1st couple to the bottom. This causes some confusion restarting with double figures of 8 at the top (which do not start with setting). There are also some troubles getting into the hands across at the end of the reels. The last part of a longer display.

  According to the original instructions, only the Women set on bars 27-28 and 31-32. However, a variant description exists that says "All Set".  That is the version used in this video.  That is why this video is not classified as "demonstration quality".

  The dance would normally be danced three times through, but here it is danced four times through because of the music used to make the video. (The deviser's suggested lead tune of Loch Lomond was not available as a S3x40 recording)

  OTTB, Ruhr, Germany, 2019.  The music is fast and the dancers have fun – the fourth  couple swap sides in the Poussette on the first time through.

  Katharine Barber Country Dancers, Kirkcudbright Scottish Night, 2018.  Danced in a 5-couple set, with modification to permit the dancing couple to dance to the foot.  On bars 9-16 the dancers take nearer hands, whereas the instructions have lead back up.

  Danced in San Francisco April 2022.Start Your Engines was devised in 2012 by Ellen Ternes of Frederick, Maryland, commemorating the life and career of world-famous Scottish race-car driver Dario Franchitti.  It is published in a 2015 book named StrathsBabes which includes dances of hers and fellow deviser Pam Stephens, the latter whose Memories of Mary Ann (S32) was published by the RSCDS in its 2013 Book 47.  The SCDDB lists eleven dances by her, the majority in the aforementioned publication.
   
  Dario Franchitti was born in 1973 in Bathgate, West Lothian, (today somewhat an Edinburgh outer suburb, pop. 23,600, just a twenty-mile drive to the west from its city center).  He is a former race-car driver and now a motor-sports commentator, four-time IndyCar Series champion (2007-2011 except 2008), three-time Indianapolis 500 winner, and the 2008 winner of the "24 Hours of Daytona."  He was married to American actress Ashley Judd from 2001 to 2013 and now married to Englishwoman Eleanor Robb, and they have two young daughters born in 2015 and 2019.  Dario Franchitti may now use the suffix MBE with his name having been named a Member of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth among her Birthday Honours of 2014....

  In this performance only 1st couple turn RH in bars 21-24 though the instructions suggest all three couples should turn.

  The mid-section descends into a bit of a muddle – there's not much thinking time.  When the 4th couple dance bars 1-16 the give hands when they cross, the instruction just say cross – no mention of taking hands.

  RSCDS Edinburgh Branch Demonstration Team, Dancing Forth, 2009.  Two sets back-to-back.  Once through (with the end of the allemande adapted to lead into the next dance in the demonstration).

  Dancing is Demonstration quality, however video downgraded, since in bars 17-24 the dancers pass right shoulder in the middle, while the instructions have left shoulder.

  Katharine Barber And Her Country Dancers, Harbour Square, Kirkcudbright, 2016.  Danced in two 3-couple sets.  Initially, the camera is in long shot, then the camera zooms in on one set for a while before switching to the other, then the camera settles on a long shot containing both sets.

comment:
  Three times as the last part of a longer demo. There are a few minor adaptations for demonstration purposes. The 1st repeat ends with a slow RH cross instead of full RH turns to switch the top and bottom of the set, the 2nd repeat has some diagonal turns, the last repeat ends facing the audience. Clear view from above.

  As is traditional in Edinburgh, the two hand turns are here done with skip change rather than pas de basque.

  Once through.

  This video follows the original version of the dance, before Rod changed the way the third and fourth couples started the double figure of eight.   The change was made to allow third couple to enter the Rose Progression more easily.

  Dancing is demonstration quality, only rated as good as the dance has been adapted for a 3-couple set.  The last 4-bars modified to turn right and cast.

  Ochil Scottish Country Dancers, St Ninian's Church Hall, Stirling, Scotland, 2017.  On-screen and spoken dancing instructions.  Does not completely conform to the instructions, which have the 1s on the second time through casting to 4th place, giving a neater ending.

  Very good dancing. The instructions for bars 25-32 include a turn with both hands between dancing out each side and casting round. That is omitted here.

  Danced at a party to celebrate the birthday of the deviser, Ruth Beattie (1st Woman).   1st couple dance twice through but the other three couples just dance once each and the progression was changed.  There was little space but great fun at a very happy event.

comment:
  Nicely danced (with a few hesitations) though with a couple of variations from the original instructions. In bars 5-8 the dancers here do two left hands across (at each end) rather than one in the middle. And in the final mirror set and links, the central two couples dance through the middle rather than casting to the ends. The first variation works well but the second looks slightly more awkward than was intended.

  The second part of a lovely demonstration - though the slow crossing RH and back at the start of the reel section are here replaced by quicker turns, perhaps to make a livelier display.
