Scottish Dancing YouTube Videos Explained

Videos are chosen on educational merit, i.e., those which show clearly how to perform at least one Repeat of the whole dance. Nothing is implied by the order (which is often changed) on pages with multiple videos.

Choreographers of demonstrations often indulge in artistic licence and so there may be deviation from a strict performance of the dance. Very rarely is a dance video recorded for strictly educational purposes by a professional using highly-experienced dancers; much more commonly, all parties are amateurs (in both senses). However, providing the recording is sufficiently clear, this can sometimes be beneficial; when a dancer is seen to make a mistake or to be a little late in starting a Figure, that can be an important indicator of a part of the dance needing special attention.

For most desktop browsers, click anywhere on a video to start; click again (maybe twice) to pause and again to continue. Sound volume control, picture quality, full screen display and other playing options are available at the bottom of each video; for an educational purpose, the option to play the video at a reduced speed can be exceptionally valuable.

Some browsers, notably Chrome and Safari on iPhone and Android, only allow playback of HTML5 videos when initiated by a user interaction. For this reason, (particularly on many touch-screen devices), it may be necessary to click a video more than once to start or stop it, and you may even have to use the playing options available at the bottom of each video to stop the video.

When a particular dance is embedded among others in a demonstration or some other sequence, we cue it to start at the beginning and to finish at the end of that dance (or, sometimes, at the beginning and end of one or more Repeats in that dance). If you attempt to replay one of these clipped videos, YouTube will actually start it from the beginning of the video; to replay the clip only, click on the link "Restart This Video Clip" below the video in question.

Each Scottish Country Dance video page has a link at the top and bottom to the written instructions for that dance (when a crib page exists); for a full list of dance instructions, see Dance Instructions - A-Z Dance Cribs or the tab on the right of all pages.

The copyright to these videos and any music played during these performances remains the original property of the recording labels and artists; no infringement is intended.

It is fortunate for the Scottish Country Dancing community at large that amateur recorders of videos produce the material which we can disseminate. If you are planning to produce a YouTube video of a Scottish Country Dance, see our Advice On Preparing Videos.

The date shown below each video is either the performance date, or if this is unavailable, the date of upload to YouTube.
