Late Tartan Day Report- The Kandahar Reel

[Brian K]

I Googled the Kandahar Reel and enjoyed the dance a lot. I watched two versions. One with the RSCDS putting on a demonstration in Aberdeen and one with officers of the RROS in mess dress dancing with their ladies. The RSCDS were better technically than the soldiers, but the soldiers were much more exuberant and that was the version I enjoyed more!

The Kandahar Reel will be danced at the Royal Caledonian Ball in London next month.

I agree! That's what I love about "social" reeling: you don't have to be precise and everyone is having SUCH A GOOD TIME!
