Very nice but too restrained. English country dances always have a skipping step; so much livelier. No wonder everyone thinks that we're so stiff.

English country dancing! Where men and women can flirt with each other, be coy, suggestive (or not), show off their fine clothes (or not) and have fun, even WITH the local vicar present! I say this in admiration and I'm Dutch! :)

Susie, we call it "Stinkin' Billy" because of its reference to English royalty... it's a Scottish thing some of us have... :-)
