I've had a reply from E Ferguson which I don't think was on S'pe, but I would add - even stress- that I do not think variations of a personal (couple) nature should involve other dancers at all; that is a rule of courtesy which I assume as a given and inviolable rule. But I certainly think dancing for fit young 20yr olds should be different from that for pensioners. Standardisation has limits, and I think the Soc tends to overdo them, in general. Anyway, I prefer the styles of R Burns, when dancing in Edinburgh or that when dancing with his witches! But then, I like most of R Burns' enthusiasms!
