    I am told repeatedly 'If you're not flirting you're not dancing!' which I think came from Bruce Herbold himself.
    I think that is a wonderful sentiment and echoes especially well in Strathspeys.
    That said, I do love a good reel for the sheer exuberance of it.
    It's hard to choose a single one of the three, but I'll go for reel.


    I just love the dancing in general!!!

    Yeah, Bruce said that in Portland last spring, and a fellow from our class adopted it as his mantra. Bruce said that while teaching Strathspeys, which can certainly be very expressive because of the extra time. I don't think a quick dance warrants any less flirting though, as you may have noticed from how I dance. :P
