Scottish country or ceilidh dancing is a social, group-based dance, usually enjoyed in groups of two, three or four couples, dancing in lines or squares. It’s energetic, engaging, and above all, great fun.

This vibrant tradition has been enjoyed for over 200 years, based on Highland reels of Scotland and elegant dances of 17th-century Europe. Today, it’s danced everywhere from ballrooms and town halls to festival stages and local pubs — all around the world.
With more than 15,000 documented dances (and new ones still being created!), there’s always something fresh to learn and enjoy.
