Scottish country dance

Scottish country dancing or "SCD" is a form of social dance involving groups of mixed couples of dancers tracing progressive patterns according to a predetermined choreography. SCD is often considered a type of folk dancing although this is not strictly true - it derives from the courtly dances of the Renaissance and, as a form of ballroom dancing, predates the more modern styles of the quadrille as well as couple dances like the waltz. Related dance forms include English country dancing, contra dancing, ceilidh dancing, Old Tyme dancing, Irish set dancing, or square dance.
