Scottish country dancing (SCD) or "reeling" is a form of social dance involving groups of mixed couples of dancers tracing progressive patterns according to a predetermined choreography. Country dancing is often considered a type of folk dancing although this is not strictly true because it has its roots in the courtly dances of the Renaissance.[citation needed]
When it first became popular around the 18th century, it filled the niche that is occupied today by ballroom dances[citation needed] such as the waltz or tango, as a fairly refined form of entertainment. Related dance forms include English country dancing and contra dancing.[citation needed] The connection to styles like ceilidh dancing, "Old Time" dancing, Irish set dancing, or square dance is more tenuous.[citation needed]
Also, Scottish country dancing should not be confused with Scottish highland dance, which (today) is closer to a sport rather than a social pastime, mainly being danced in competition and displays. There is a certain amount of cross-over in that there are Scottish country dances that include highland elements as well as highland-style performance dances which use formations otherwise seen in country dances, but other than that the styles do not really have a lot in common today.
