Scottishness to be able to do SCD (Was pas de basque coupe - CORRECTION)

Feb. 12, 2006, 9:28 p.m. (Message 44221)

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.
   
  Regards,

  Attention! You did not think you came into RSCDS and Scottish Country
Dancing to actually enjoy yourself? Did You? 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!
