    Wyld,
    Keep in mind Scottish Country Dancing (SCD) is different from Highland dancing, which is what first came to mind when I read your original post.

    As McMurdo alluded to, SCD is the social style of dancing. (Think 'line' dancing or square dancing.)

    Highland Dancing is the solo, 'bouncy' type of dancing - a lot more vertical in appearance, with a more rigid stance and fixed arm and hand positions. If you've been to one of the Scottish Regiment concerts (Black Watch, Seaforth Highlanders, etc.) when they toured the States, that's the kind of dancing that was featured.

    Here's what I found when I Googled 'highland dance':

    Georgia
    Atlanta Carissa Koontz
    Atlanta Towns Killough Paolucci (404)256-2189
    Tucker Mary Recknagel (770)934-3016
    Winterville Jennifer Porter (706)742-7089

    Ok I see. I'm more into the social dancing, my knee's couldn't handle the bouncing LOL.
