Inwards

The dance term In(wards) in Scottish Country Dancing means toward the Inside of the Active set.

For example, here are bars 1 to 4 of the Scottish Country Dance The Highland Rambler -
1s Dance Inwards and Cast.

Here are examples of those Scottish Country Dances for which we have instructions on this site and in which the term, Inwards, either appears explicitly or is implied; note that for a common term these will be a small selection; for a rare term, these may be all that exist:

Bright And Breezy
Charlotte Square
Corn Rigs
Etta Gibson's Strathspey
Lochearnside
