And that is the difference between 'Scottish country dancing' and 'Royal Scottish country dancing.'

When you learn the regular old way there is a lot of showing off, fitting in extra turns, whooping and waving.
Going to an RSCDS ball after that... well... it's stull fun and wonderful and glamorous, but very different.
