Amazing what you can do after a bowl of porridge !! The Scottish people really know how to enjoy themselves . Scottish dancing is so exhilarating and joyful .
@@josephineboase7440 I love dances from the Brittish Isles. I will try The Eightsome Reel in my new dance group. Last Sunday I taught them Postie's Jig. They loved it too. Always when we have a party, we dance English and Scottish dances. They are perfect party dances.
Weddings usually have simpler "Ceilidh" dances - so that beginners can join in. Certainly not this one, but I love the look of it. These "Reelers" do it differently to the RSCDS - much wilder!.
The whole square grows wider and wider, with the dancers too far apart to reel properly at this fast a tempo. Add the whirling twirling antics of guys who know better, it was a wonder the whole thing didn't break down! That's how you can tell.
