Scottish Country dancing is a traditional but living form of dance. Some dances
date back to the eighteenth century while others are being devised and published on an
almost weekly basis. It is the living heritage of Scotland and an enjoyable form of socialising
that has spread to all parts of the world.
The main difference between Country Dancing and Highland dancing is that Country
Dancing is done as a group. The dancers form into sets, usually of 6 or 8 people and
interact with each other throughout the dance. Highland Dances, on the other hand, tend
to be done by individual dancers.
There are different types of Scottish Country Dance including Reels, Jigs & Strathspeys.
Reels & Jigs are danced in a quick, exciting tempo whereas Strathspeys are slower and more
elegant.
There are a number of dance groups around the north of Ireland, details of these
can be found on our groups and links pages.
