Reel Life in Montreal is a blog dedicated to the Scottish country dance class in downtown Montreal. Each week we will report on the dances we’ve done in class as well as share fun facts and news of special events, so check back often! Submissions are welcome!

Lots of information about dances, dance events (mainly UK-based), and more

A veritable treasure trove of information

While we should all support the people who publish dance books and also refer to complete dance instructions, this is an excellent reference that brings together very brief dance instructions, dance diagrams (Pillings), videos, information about available recordings, and discussions about the sticky technical points in one place. This is especially valuable for teachers but the dance videos are great for anyone to watch to see the SCD style.

Another good reference to SCD in general and also specific dances

Results of huge digitization project by the Library of Congress Washington DC which includes just about all known country dance manuals especially those from the 1700s and 1800s. This was when country dancing and quadrilles and couple dances etc. were largely pan-European, that is, before they become stylized by various societies of the 20th century.
