Quick TempoIt is convenient to categorize Reels, Hornpipes and Jigs under the heading Quick tempo since, from the dancing point of view, they are performed using the same steps, the same form of the Figures and at the same speed (when defined as bars rather than crochets per minute). The RSCDS recommendation is 58 bars per minute (i.e., a little slower than 1 bar per second) though most Scottish Country Dance bands play the music slightly faster.
