It is done in couples and sets. If you are interested in learning more about it, don't worry about needing a partner because Scottish country dancing is social dancing and you will always be changing partners anyway.

The dances include reels, jigs and hornpipes, which often call for some fast footwork, but they also include the majestic strathspeys, which are performed at a much Illustration: Monica Pine slower pace.
