Due to popular member demand the RSCDS has now taken over the publication of A Guide to Scottish Country Dancing (formerly referred to as the 'Collins Book'). The guide is a valuable resource for new dancers with clear explanations of steps and formations of popular dances, but also makes a handy reference addition to the collections of veteren dancers. Intended as an introduction to Scottish Country Dances and also including a range of ballroom or so-called Ceilidh dances in addition to more traditional style country dances. Two CD's with music for a number of these dances are available to accompany the guide.
