A Guide to Scottish Country Dancing
Compiled in association with The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society
Edited by Peter Knight
Due to popular member demand the RSCDS has now taken over the publication of A Guide to Scottish Country Dancing (formerly referred to as the 'Collins Book'). The guide is a valuable resource for new dancers with clear explanations of steps and formations of popular dances, but also makes a handy reference addition to the collections of veteren dancers. Intended as an introduction to Scottish Country Dances and also including a range of ballroom or so-called Ceilidh dances in addition to more traditional style country dances. Two CD's with music for a number of these dances are available to accompany the guide.
