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

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

[@jennybyers1705]

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.

[@richardpaxman8519]

Fair point, but of course they aren't doing it to create pleasing symmetrical patterns, they are doing it to have fun, and the spins and twirls that are added to 'Scottish Country Dancing' to make 'Reeling', are what make it more fun and attract younger people.

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