Scottish Dance Beyond 1805 presents a history of Scottish music and
dance over the last 200 years, with a focus on sources originating
in Aberdeenshire, when steps could be adapted in any way the dancer
pleased. The book explains the major changes in the way that dance
was taught and performed by chronicling the shift from individual
dancing masters to professional, licensed members of regulatory
societies. This ethnographical study assesses how dances such as
the Highland Fling have been altered and how standardisation has
affected contemporary Highland dance and music, by examining the
experience of dancers and pipers. It considers reactions to
regulation and standardisation through the introduction to Scotland
of percussive step dance and caller-facilitated ceilidh dancing.
Today's Highland dancing is a standardised and international form
of dance. This book tells the story of what changed over the last
200 years and why. It unfolds through a series of colourful
characters, through the dances they taught and the music they
danced to and through the story of one dance in particular, the
Highland Fling. It considers how Scottish dance reflected changes
in Scottish society and culture. The book will be of interest to
scholars and postgraduates in the fields of Dance History,
Ethnomusicology, Ethnochoreology, Ethnology and Folklore, Cultural
History, Scottish Studies and Scottish Traditional Music as well as
to teachers, judges and practitioners of Highland dancing and to
those interested in the history of Scottish dance, music and
culture.
