4. Forward. Backward. Left. Right.

I think I may be under thinking it.
Those are also directions of movement, not the ways in which the legs and feet are moved, which is what is meant by different steps.

For instance, in several folk dance traditions there is the grapevine step. I'm looking for four steps that are commonly used in English Folk Dancing.

Yes! Or in the words of John Playford, "Longways, for as many as will".

Usually dance as a duple minor (pairs of couples, moving on one couple each time).

a point to poohbear_nc

Simpler. It's the way one moves throughout the dance, or through a section of the dance, not something like "up a double and back" which is a specific set of movements.

Scottish Country Dancing has two main travelling steps - skip change in reel/jig time, and in strathspey time. There are more steps in English Country Dancing (although, oddly, not the skip-change of Scottish Country Dancing), I could think of four off the top of my head.

1. Scottish Country Dances are usually one of three different kinds. Name the kinds.
HomeInMyShoes: Jig, Reel
Shayne Parkinson: Strathspey
2. In American Contra Dancing, what is the usual dance formation?
poohbear_nc: Two lines of dancers, facing each other.
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
Shayne Parkinson: cha-cha
Bookpossum: Rumba
4. Name four steps using in English Country Dancing.

HomeInMyShoes: 6.5 points
Shayne Parkinson: 1.5points
poohbear_nc: 1 point
Bookpossum: 0.5 points

At least 4 points left to get.

I don't think anyone can catch HomeInMyShoes now, so HIMS should post a new quiz question when he can. I'll post answers to any remaining unguessed questions later this evening.

Half a point for the Charleston, which seems to be making a comeback.


1. Scottish Country Dances are usually one of three different kinds. Name the kinds.
HomeInMyShoes: Jig, Reel
Shayne Parkinson: Strathspey
2. In American Contra Dancing, what is the usual dance formation?
poohbear_nc: Two lines of dancers, facing each other.
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
Shayne Parkinson: cha-cha
Bookpossum: Rumba
Stitchawl: Charleston
MISSED: Argentine Tango
4. Name four steps using in English Country Dancing.
Missed: Walking, skipping, step-hop, rant.

HomeInMyShoes: 6.5 points
Shayne Parkinson: 1.5points
poohbear_nc: 1 point
Bookpossum: 0.5 points
Stitchawl: 0.5 points.

Congratulations to HomeInMyShoes!

Over to you for the next quiz.
