Very Advanced Low Impact

The Very Advanced Low Impact class is for dancers who have previously danced at the Technically Skilled High Impact (or Very Advanced High Impact) level (please refer to guidelines for that class), but are now unable to maintain this high standard for the entire duration of the class. Dancers are still expected to:

Have a thorough knowledge of the steps and formations listed in the RSCDS Manual, and be able to dance them well without prompting.

Be able to maintain handing, phrasing and covering throughout the class.

Have an understanding of Scottish country dance music and display rhythmic dancing.

Be able to cope with unusual and complex dances.

Be able to maintain the standard of the class independently of other dancers.

Your teacher will be placing more emphasis on what’s happening above your hips rather than below them! If you are unable to dance every dance, you will be welcome to sit out occasionally.
