Well done to Scoteesh Productions - this is absolutely great! A complete learning package in a CDROM for Ceilidh and Scottish Country Dancing. (It is also a full length music CD for use in your usual CD player.) Used as a CD-ROM, you can read all about the 10 popular dances in detail (there are animated diagrams, steps and formation) then watch a team of dancers on video while they demonstrate how to do each of them. Tracks 1 - 10 of the music CD are short versions of the dances (twice through) with spoken instructions. Tracks 11 - 21 provide a suggested dance programme, concluding with Auld Lang Syne. The music is provided by the excellent Lochside Ceilidh Band. Very easy to use, All Set is perfect for the complete beginner, but also ideal if you've already done some dancing and want to refresh your memory or learn new dances. Use the interactive format to learn dances, steps and formations in the way that suits you best.
