You may be wondering just what is Scottish Country Dance. Scottish county dancing is a lot like American square dancing. It usually involves groups of 4 to 8 people forming sets or lines.
You are not required to have partner with you when going to a class or event. This is a very social form of dance and often of mixed sex, meaning that it is perfectly acceptable for the women to dance on the men's side of the line, since there are usually more women then men at a function.
The music is usually upbeat and played on various instruments. Such as fiddles, accordions, flutes, pianos, and drums and on rare occasion yes even the Noble instrument itself the bagpipes.
