Fantastic to hear Happy Hooligans of Wembley being played. Probably not the tunes' official name, but I was singing along. Great tutorial as well🎉

I wish I could take part in this

they really had fun in the middle sections, love that, i didn't know you could bust it down like that, we never had that at our classes

I help run a dancing group and I was wondering what tune you dance to.

Thanks for the upload!!! Wow, you need to research S M Z E U S!!

Looks like you are all having a Merry Christmas already!

Good one. Merry Christmas

Unoordinated young kids, probably pissed, that don`t know exactly what tey are doing.

Love this xx

NY Scottish Ball tonight, had to stop in for a refresher. Thanks, London Reels!

As a Scottish Dancer I find this extraordinary! Its certainly nothing like the true Scottish dance.

Now that is fun xxx

Brilliant!!

This is very good and I'll reference it when I revise my Scottish Reeling eBook.

Omg! I've been waiting for this since dancing in Durham during my erasmus, I will spread these dances in Italy now! ❤

Marvellous. Greetings from Koprivnice in the Czech Republic. ## My knowledge of a few moves made me "a hit" with the lovely lassies there, without any resentment from the lads.

Thanks, I needed this!

Superb Instruction.

This is fun!

Interesting how the couples are numbered going to the left instead of to the right. Also, HOW does set work?

Lovely to see so many young folks enjoying the dances and making them their own.

It's obviously fun but they're all so intent on putting their own variations and twists onto their performance (which is what it is) that the symmetry and lovely simplicity of the dance is completely lost and it just looks a huge mess.

This is an interesting variation if you haven't enough people for another full set, so you can "distribute" those dancers to other sets. Thank you for that idea.

Thanks for explaining this dance so clearly, I have to call it next week when our classes start again. I thought the "Postie " was a postman, dancing on his rounds!

live your life like headband guy.

hvor kan få noderne til de melodier

Wonderful, but would it be any less good if the dancers went at it at one half of the speed, - or even lesser?

Speed the Plough? More like turbo-charge the plough! Nice dancing though! Love and peace.

what does "set to your partner" mean? I've watched people do it multiple times and I still don't understand. Can someone explain how many steps and what you do exactly. Thank you!

What fun!

Great Instructions!

will this be on the programme for 21 sep, pls? my scottish reeling ebook says its less common than the other ones. author points out the rarer ones all appear alphabetically - machine without horses, mairis wedding, posties jig. is that true? it would be good to know which of the 11 dances in the book I should concentrate on beforehand. thx for your your videos

Not the right way to do this dance ...

thx! swotting up for this month's restart. ur gr8 videos mentioned in the ace Scottish Reeling ebook i found on Amazon. anyone else seen it?

Absolutely brilliant.. I love it…this is on my to do list!

Keep up the brilliant work, John. You have a pretty fair idea of how hugely your dance sessions at Pont Street were enjoyed, by everyone who attended.

*I have seen Tamsin deliberately lose her partner who she has decided she didn’t like in the middle of an Eightsome reel. When the dance floor is full and dance partners are changing continuously it is the easiest thing in the world to lose one's partner, then the dance descends into full disarray and that is what Tamsin takes advantage of* *Her partner finding they are standing outside the toilets desperately searching for her while she has paired off with someone else* *I’ve even seen people wandering around the car park looking for her, or questioning people giving a brief description of her, like distinguishing marks,moles and stuff* *She is terrible like that. Four different partners during an Eightsome reel are too silly for words*

A Triple minor

what they lack in style they have in uncontrolled abandon. I prefer to see a little more care from the males to their partners.

Que de danseurs 🙂

Could you mentioned the names of the tunes, please. (I know that the last one is Mari's wedding tune).

Awesome

definitely prefer clapping and stamping rather than the RSCDS more sedate style. A ceilidh is meant to be fun, not perfect

This chanel is brilliant for me. I live in a barn-dance desert. I used to be a caller in my university days and want to take it up again. This is reminding me of all the dances I used to do and adding a few more. Brilliant! Thanks so much.

Good content, Keep making more videos

What a lovely variation.

Excellent video - talked through and walked through and then danced through to music - with crib notes also. Very helpful.

wonderful

Really brilliant tutorial and love the supertitled instructions!
