​Teaching Points:

In my opinion, there is nothing overly complicated in this dance. The interest mainly comes from dancing it once as a strathspey and then dancing it as a reel. I have found that many dancers will arrive early for the reel of six when dancing the strathspey, and late when dancing to the reel, it really does need to be danced!
