We asked the same question, and Sophie (1st lady in the 1st dance) told us that the dances were C'EST L'AMOUR (THE FLIRT) THE ROMANCE STRATHSPEY SUMMER WOOING THE TRYSTING PLACE HAND IN HAND MAIRI'S WEDDING (interlude: Highland Cathedral) THE WEDDING TOAST (The theme of the sequence was inspired by the fact that the display took place on Valentine's Day). Most dances are RSCDS or other easily accessible sources. The exceptions are "The Romance Strathspey" and "The Wedding Toast"

Can you tell me the names of the dances?

Absolutely fantastic dancing and a brilliant musical accompaniment. An expanded number of tags would make the video easier to find on youtube, because it deserves to be seen by the widest possible number of people, both SCD enthusiasts and the still-to-be-converted (this video should convert them). Bravo!

Great dancing - a standard (for me) to aspire to.
