The crib links go to the Scottish Country Dancing Dictionary where there are further links to dance videos.
Please note that when we have novice dancers attending, some of these dances will be substituted with simpler ones. Dances marked * are simpler and included to teach specific figures of technique. Also, dances are sometimes carried over to the next week if it was not possible to complete the planned programme, e.g. because of time or numbers.
