MADISON SCOTTISH COUNTRY DANCERS
Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society

​

In the 1990s, John Stott gathered our oft-danced dances and their briefings into a publication named One Hundred Favorite Dances. In April 2001, Mike and Norma Briggs (with the help of numerous others) updated John's booklet with a new publication, Briefs for 100 Dances and 63 More, and distributed it at our annual ball. Graduates of our Madison School and Community Recreation classes also received a copy. A revised edition with corrections came out in October, 2002. It is now out of print. Here is the list of dances that we considered our favorites in 2001. Easier dances were indicated with an "E" in the table of contents, and are indicated here with bold and italics.​​
