Abstract:

Roland’s dance studio in Fayetteville, offers North Carolinians a unique experience—Scottish dance classes. Originally created for male warriors as a form of calisthenics, Scottish dance today is more frequently performed by female dancers. The studio, interested in expanding their offerings, reached out in 2015 to a local instructor who specialized in the dance. Fayetteville itself has a longer history of Scottish dance—a club was formed at Fayetteville High School during the 1950s to celebrate the State’s Scottish immigrants.
