Is that an eightsome reel?
I love Scottish country dancing at a ceilidh. Best when only two people in your set know what they are doing and direct everyone where to go. It’s the epitome of community. And so much fun. What a great way to make international friends across cultures.

No that was part of the Ukrainian contribution to the event, as you can see from the young Irish dancers - they picked up the steps with ease, there is much crossover in European traditions.
This clip is from the Breton set - Polish, Irish, Scottish, Italian, Ukrainian dancers are all taking part
