The main types of Scottish dance are country dance, ceilidh dance and highland dance. Much rarer these days in Scottish dance is Scottish Step Dance. Our country and ceilidh dances have the character of ballroom or social dancing, while Highland Dance is performed solo. These have precise, difficult movements, with standardised steps and require much stamina and coordination. Read our guide to Scottish dance music. Check out our Scottish dance music section.
