Take it it from someone who recently got the heart-breaking comment at a wedding of 'Oh my god, you dance just like your dad!' Scottish country dancing can be really fun and help you to dance better.
For what it's worth, here are the two main things which helped me a lot.
1: There is a severe shortage of men. So the ladies are always very happy to have a gentleman to dance with and being so appreciated really helped me to start working on actually learning to dance well.
2: One of the secrets to dancing well in SCD is having strong legs and an ability to control your body.
It sounds odd, but doing martial arts really helps with this.
So, we can conclude by saying that SCD makes you a sought-after man and you have to be relatively manly to do it!
