One of the best Scottish Country Dancers I know was a former competitive
Highland Dancer in her youth. In fact, I've known several so it does happen,
admittedly it is rare. For some young folk, Highland Dance is a competitive
sport rather than an art. The same is true for Irish solo dance. Likewise,
how often does one see a former Irish solo dancer dancing Irish Ceilli
Dance?

However, for some, the joy of dance carries over into SCD.
