  • Any idea how the team did? Was the tradition appreciated?

  • They won to much applause, but of course this was only part of the overall ballroom dancing programme.

    I found it very charming and a refreshing change from the standard brash medley of tune used in formation dancing.

  • brilliant

  • P.S to all you 'big wigs' (especially A.A.-hopefully you will at least recogniseYOUR name even if you didn't know who I was when I walked in to your VERY social wee gathering at Corrie)many thanks for putting me up,or should I say putting up with me & my incessant chatter about dancing.'Please can we talk about something else my dear,& remind me of your name again'.Only I could manage to bore a Society VVIP witless )-; (Luckily he has a wicked sense of humour,& lovely Rachel to remind him.

  • OOPS,hit delete in my haste to visit my hero nb 'A.A'.It was Ron Watsons' beloved 'Thistles' team mainly from RSCDS Bournemouth dancing at the Bic.They were a late replacement for Glasgow,who couldn't get their team so far South.Ron is seriously ill in Bournemouth Hospital as I type this,hence the posting.All are still 'dancing'albeit with a new hip(Keith)or worse!Let's hope he'll be teaching,dancing & 'Oh DEARING' to all of the New Forest (we all LHTB really),in his own inimitable style soon.

  • I played this and similar for NYE

  • Rocking step.... oh how I miss dancing. Thank you Anselm for forwarding this link to my email! I remember how you taught us to dance that dance in Frankfurt!!!

  • Sorry, that is the rocking step. My computer was actually a bit behind the timer.

  • That would be the Highland Schottishe setting step. It's a nice one.

  • I've heard it called the rocking step. If you search on "Highland Fling" you will see something similar

  • Can anyone tell me the name of the setting step at 0:45?

    And this was a lovely video. It's especially nice to see the dancing overhead. Most of the time this isn't available.
