The Highland
Fling
The
oldest of the dances, said to be based on the movements of the stag.
Arms are held aloft like antlers, the feet dance and the body turns
around suggesting the stag's love play. |
The Sword Dance
Credited
to Malcolm Canmore, King of Scots, who, after slaying an opponent
placed his sword and that of his enemy on the ground in the form of
a cross and danced in triumph over them. |
