1. Scottish Country Dances are usually one of three different kinds. Name the kinds.
HomeInMyShoes: Jig, Reel
2. In American Contra Dancing, what is the usual dance formation?
3. Name as many different Ballroom (including Latin) dances as you can. (There are so many, only 1/2 point each for these.)
HomeInMyShoes: salsa, waltz, foxtrot, jive, tango, paso doble, samba, quickstep, Vienese Waltz
4. Name four steps using in English Country Dancing.

HomeInMyShoes: 6.5 points

At least 6.5 points left to get.

Nope. That's (unsurprisingly) American Square Dancing.

No-one's been to a contra dance? You're missing out.

I thought contra dance might be the official name of Square dancing.

Ah, that makes sense. American Contra is the American version of English Country Dancing.

I'll give answers this evening and declare a winner. Unless someone does amazingly well, it looks like HomeInMyShoes needs to work on a question.

I used to do Scottish Country Dancing! I believe the other one is the strathspey.

Is the cha-cha an official ballroom dance?

Yes, both right.

I'll let things run until tomorrow evening now, in case Shayne (or anyone else) has a go at the others.

I never would have got Strathspey and I knew Mazurka was flat-out wrong.

There are still at least a couple of Ballroom/Latin dances to get. I wouldn't have accepted Mazurka.

I don't need technical terms for the other answers - a description will do.

More a description of how to move rather than a step. I suspect people are over-thinking this one.
