re BBC : Can I just warn against just looking at a film to see how a dance
is carried out - unless it is a direct performance piece or an amateur film
of a performance.
Sometimes the Directors idea of what looks good in film, doesn't necessarily
correspond with the way things were / are done. Directors and Producers
have certain ideas on how all things scottish should look and feel and as
their word is law in a film ..... and of course some things are more
difficult to film than others.
Just remember it was danced by men only - women being in short supply :>)
