Yes. The reels for step-dancing are a bit fast then for SCD. The biggest difference is in the strathspeys. For SCD they are *totally* different then for step-dancing, where to beat gets emphasized is different. The tempo is different, etc.. -- Toby Rider ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "He either fears his fate too much, Or his deserts are small, That puts it not unto the touch To win or lose it all." - James Graham, Marquis of Montrose Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
