Pia, you may have made your comments with tongue in cheek, but, after I had been dancing for a few years and was still young and arrogant (not that I have changed much), I was informed by an immigrant Scottish teacher that, as a New Zealander, I could not appreciate what SCD was all about.

It is a VERY serious pastime - you must have posture, good manners, knowledge, be able to fit in and be dressed accurately BEFORE venturing onto the dance floor. And of course if you are not scottish, forget it - you can never be able to dance properly anyway - any intelligent person knows that SCD is genetic and therefore us foreigners will never be able to dance the way SCD was meant to be danced. So there! Pia :>) Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
