Scottish reels
Lively Celtic dances
Scottish reels are traditional folk dances from Scotland, typically performed by groups in formations of two to four couples.
The dances feature quick, precise footwork and traveling figures like chains and circles, accompanied by lively fiddle music in 4/4 time.
Reels are staples of ceilidhs and Highland gatherings: We learned Scottish reels before the wedding.
