I don't think anyone here believes that RSCDS-style SCD is the only
possible way of     doing country dancing.

You would be surprised, Anselm. I encounter many who see it as a
mission to teach the poor "ignorant" how to dance properly.

I have been verbally attacked for wanting to teach Ceilidh! (It doesn't hold me back).
And
At my RSCDS exam training (ok a few years ago) - I was told that I was
more of an international dancer than an RSCDS dancer! (I took that as
a compliment).

Here in Scotland, I have heard some people call us "The pointy toe
professionals" - I wonder why? LOL
