[SCA-Dance] SCA Created Dances

[Aaron Elkiss]

Actually, Postie's Jig (and Mairi's Wedding, which is another
non-period dance often done in the SCA, and Dashing White Sergeant,
which I've only seen done at Crystal Ball) are Scottish country
dances, which is a separate tradition from modern English Country,
with a separate repertoire and much more emphasis on footwork.
