Shetland backstep

This video is part of an online video glossary of basic movements for traditional Scottish soft-shoe step dancing. The glossary is based on descriptions published in the St. Andrew’s Step Dance Collection (RSCDS 2009-2013). Voice-over is provided by the book’s editor and RSCDS examiner Helen Russell (Scotland). Shetland backsteps are performed here by Anna Kochetkova, a Scottish step dancer from Shady Glen dance school (Moscow, Russia).
