Cotillion

Here in Boston we enjoy dancing. And we enjoy dancing English country dances (you know Pride and Prejudice style). Normally we have two "cotillions" a year where we dress up and have a dance. But this year the gentleman and lady in charge of this event decided to host a mini-series. So about every other week for the last couple months we've had a mini dance where we've learned one or two slightly more complicated dances than we normally do at the big balls (and we've focused on a different region of the British Isles each week). At our dance a couple weeks ago we learned a Scottish dance. We videotaped it and put it on YouTube. I'd say that for having learned the dance in less than 2 hours we look pretty good.
