Learn Cape Breton Step Dancing

200 years ago, settlers from the Scottish Highlands and western islands immiigrated to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. They brought with them a form of hard-shoe dance that has largely died out in Scotland but is preserved in the New World. Similar to clogging, Irish step and tap, it is performed to fiddle, bagpipe or puirt-a-beul (a cappella singing).
