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. Tom Mungall Baton Rouge, La, USA
