Hi Nick,

You mentioned wanting to add two dances which did not have cribs. I presume one of them was the Gay Gordons Two Step (rather than the standard Gay Gordons?) as you submitted the issue from that page. But I didnt see what the other one might have been.

The strathspey database aims to have records for all known scottish country dances even if we do not have instructions for them, just that they exist. And for many obscure dances no one may have bothered to write a crib or draw a diagram. There may also not be videos. However I would have expected any dance you are likely to add to a reeling type program would have all three.

For the Gay Gordons Two Step I see that the scottish-country-dancing-dictionary site has a video of this so I have just added it to the strathspey database too in case thats what you really wanted.

If you let us know what the other dance is I will see if we can do anything about that one.

Cheers, Murrough.
