commonly referred to as shoddish
[edit] Chotis
Is this the same as Madrid chotis?
[edit] Scottish
To me, "Schottische" sounds like the German for "scottish". Is this type of dance originally from Scotland, or imagined or represented as of Scottish origin? Even if not, the article should probably say so. PeteVerdon 15:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Article now says definitively
-
- this dance has no direct relation with Scotland
- But also mentions
-
- Highland Schottische
- ...
- Drunk, Blue Bonnett, MgGinty, and Douglas
- which might perhaps be taken as direct Scottish references.
- The Scottish country dance page uses 'common schottische step' as a synonym for 'strathspey step', and mentions 'highland schottische' as a step borrowed from Scottish highland dance.
- Arguably there may be no common ground between the name of a step and that of a dance (like mambo in salsa).
- Some explanation for the name would be useful - I would presume it is a foreign imitation of Scottish dancing, or dancing learned from Scottish emigrants ?
- The words 'Continent' and 'Continental' are ambiguous in a global context (or lack thereof): what do they mean in the US ?
