Ah, If only the Society did what is on the label! Traditional Country
Dancing, all the bits of it, and all the different styles of it (i.e.
both before and after Dr M/1945)And yes, I am an ancient member, and
don't think changes to the whole concept of the society should ever
have been allowed.We are now the Jean Milligan School of Dance, pure
and simple, with no reference to the style of dancing we were formed
to preserve; which is why one has to go to the EFDSS style to get near
to how Robert Burns danced, or to historical dance groups to get as
close as possible to it.Sad, really.
