What are the National dances?
The national dances are a series of dances that were added later on. Some are ladies dances (e.g., the Scottish Lilt, Flora MacDonalds Fancy, and the Village Maid, etc.), while others are mens dances (Highland Laddie and Wilt Thou Go to Barracks, Johnnie? and so on). The ladies dances are generally softer and more Balletic, whereas the mens are reminiscent of the 4 Highland dances.
