It's a slow dance from Scot1and's Spey Valley. May I have the next dance? The Morettis dance the Strathspey, a type of step unique to Scotland. 42-1 This could be square dancing, but Mr. Moret- ti's kilt would be out of place: it's Scottish square dancing. The Morrettis execute a two- handed turn.

I 's the thinking man's square hatis this? Men Wearing tar- tan kilts? Knee highs? Peo- ple in ballet slippers? They seem to be having fun, but Whats going on? Wait a minute-one of the faces seems familiar. Hey, it looks like Mrs. Duncan- Moretti, the English teacher. What's she doing here? This seemingly unusual scene is actually a weekly meeting of Scottish Country Dancers. And yes, Mrs. Duncan-Moretti is one of them. She and her husband Freddie, dancers for several years, belong to the Baltimore Scottish- Country Dancing Club, a branch of a Scot- land-based organization. According to Mrs. Duncan-Mor- etti, Scottish country dancing is known as the thinking man's square dancing. Existent since ancient dancing times, it is similar to square dancing in its formations and patterns, yet differs in its ballet-like steps and graceful movements. At the beginning of a typical class, the instructor reviews some of the hundreds of dance formations. The dancers then practice the formations accompanied by recorded music. Having reached intermediate abil- ity, she and her husband are prepar- ing to become dance teachers. In or- der to do so, they must pass a vigor- ous screening. First they take a written exam, fol- lowed by a practical exam supervised by an experienced, usually Scottish, dancer. The Morettis plan to in- crease their proficiency by traveling to Edinborough for two weeks of summer school. They claim that they enjoy danc- ing because it is an excellent exercise. The couple adds that the people in the club are like a big family. Another benefit the dancers derive is the pleasure of performing before an audience. They have participated in dance parties and formal dances. The Moretti's wedding celebration featured Scottish dancers. Also, the club exhibited its talents on channel 13's Evening Maga- zine. Although participants take their dancing seriously, they have fun as well. After all, that's how the Moret- tis met each other. Faculty! 131
