RE: R.E.History question:were SCD actually taught to girl guides

When I went to Moray House in the mid to late 60s, we were taught Swedish
Clap dances, for use in Primary School Phys. Ed. classes.  The book
concerned is still probably hiding in our basement.
 Some time in the third year at the college we had two classes in SCD, but
that was all!  Once I was teaching Primary classes I did do SCD with them,
drawing on my memories of SCD in the Girl Guides from three or so years
earlier.  The Edinburgh boarding school which I attended for my last three
high school years, did not teach SCD either, just ceilidh which we did at
the formal dance at the end of each year.
