Dance Legacies of Scotland compiles a collage of references
portraying percussive Scottish dancing and explains what influenced
a wide disappearance of hard-shoe steps from contemporary Scottish
practices. Mats Melin and Jennifer Schoonover explore the
historical references describing percussive dancing to illustrate
how widespread the practice was, giving some glimpses of what it
looked and sounded like. The authors also explain what influenced a
wide disappearance of hard-shoe steps from Scottish dancing
practices. Their research draws together fieldwork, references from
historical sources in English, Scots, and Scottish Gaelic, and
insights drawn from the authors' practical knowledge of dances.
They portray the complex network of dance dialects that existed in
parallel across Scotland, and share how remnants of this vibrant
tradition have endured in Scotland and the Scottish diaspora to the
present day. This book will be of interest to scholars and students
of Dance and Music and its relationship to the history and culture
of Scotland.
