Description

On the website of Mats Melin (a link https://www.matsmelin.com/in DB under his name) I found (tab Choreography, soc.sc dances devisde by M.M) – besides the publication (Cormorant SCD Bk) and 6 dances already in DB (the Sandinavian Book) – also another 4c dance (The Russian Reel Fling) and 4 one couple dances round the room (Shapinsay Polka, Piper’s Scottische, Queen Mary Two Step, Loch Anieort Two Step) plus a waltz (Lena of Boisdale’s waltz) plus 2 video’s of the Q M twostep and The Piper’s sch.

As Jessie Stuart’s 1c RR dances are also in the DB, shouldn’t these dances be mentioned as well?

Thanks. I added URLs to the Cormorant book and the separate dances already in SCDDB (in addition to the URLs they inherit from the publication PDF).

I did not (yet) add the other dances. SCDDB does include a number of social and highland dances. However I think the general philosophy is to always add dances which are clearly SCD but others only when requested, eg if they are to appear on a dance programme among other dances.
