This framework is intended to be a resource to support those teaching Scottish Country Dancing to new dancers. It covers the basic formations and steps, allowing for progression through three levels.
The format of the framework is:
- A suggested sequence for teaching steps
- A suggested sequence for teaching formations, in three levels
- A table/grid of RSCDS-published dances which include the listed formations
The framework is not intended as a prescriptive list of steps and formations, but as a guide that can be adapted to suit the needs and ability of the class and local context.
