The below dances are devised by members of the Ballarat Scottish Country Dancing group. There are many things to consider when devising dances such as transitions between formations, flow, and how all the dancers are involved in the dance. How the dance is devised, along with the music forms the foundations for an enjoyable dance.
A strathspey is defined by the Scottish Country Dance Society as uniquely Scottish, almost certainly derived from the reel and while originally lively has evolved into a slower tempo dance with steps that are elegant, dignified and smooth.
Jjig's and reels are a faster dance with steps that are lively, light and having a feel of flight and ease of movement.
