For some time during the “naughties”, every year the RSCDS recommended some dances for inclusion in social programmes. It was hoped that this would promote a sense of unity and familiarity between branches, groups, and dancers all over the world. (It also seems that they wanted us to try some dances that for some reason or other never seemed to show up on programmes on their own merit, but that’s that :^).)
Incidentally, what’s so great about Jimmy's Fancy that it made the “featured dances” list for the second time in four years?
Update: With the publication of the core repertoire of dances, the Society seems to have gone off the idea of publishing annual lists of dances.
