  • How to Dance the Early Schottische

    • Era: 1850s-1870s

    A short, performance-oriented summary for those who want to skip the background and just go out and schottische.  This is intended as a summary for those already generally familiar with couple dancing, not as a way for new dancers to learn from scratch; a live teacher is always to be preferred to a written description.

    A fuller discussion of and list of sources for the schottische may be found in The Early Schottische.
