A strathspey is a type of dance tune in 4 4 time. It is similar to a hornpipe but slower and more stately, and contains many dot-cut 'snaps'. A so-called Scotch snap is a short note before a dotted note, which in traditional playing is generally exaggerated rhythmically for musical expression. An example of a strathspey would be the song "The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond", provided it is sung staccato:
Other examples are Auld Lang Syne (based on Sir Alexander Don's Strathspey) and Coming through the Rye (based on an old strathspey tune called The Miller's Daughter).
Because the strathspey rhythm has four strong beats to the bar, is played quickly (generally ranging from 108 beats per minute, for Highland Dance, up to 160 beats per minute, for step dance), and contains many dot-cut 'snaps', it is a rhythmically tense idiom. Traditionally, a strathspey will be followed by a reel, which is in 2 2 with a swung rhythm, as a release of the rhythmic tension created during the strathspey.
The core group of generic top-level domains consists of the com, info, net, and org domains. In addition, the domains biz, name, and pro are also considered generic; however, these are designated as restricted, because registrations within them require proof of eligibility within the guidelines set for each.
Historically, the group of generic top-level domains included domains, created in the early development of the domain name system, that are now sponsored by designated agencies or organizations and are restricted to specific types of registrants. Thus, domains edu, gov, int, and mil are now considered sponsored top-level domains, much like the themed top-level domains (e.g., jobs). The entire group of domains that do not have a geographic or country designation (see country-code top-level domain) is still often referred to by the term generic TLDs.
Shut Out is the debut album by American actor, singer and songwriter Paul Jabara.
The album which was released on the Casablanca Records label in 1977 includes the singles "Shut Out" (a duet with Donna Summer), "Dance" and "Slow Dancing". The original LP was pressed on red vinyl.
"Dance (Disco Heat)" is the title of a 1978 single by Americandisco singer Sylvester James, who performed using just his first name, Sylvester. The song became Sylvester's first Top 40 hit in the US, where it peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the fall of 1978; it also reached #29 on the UK Singles Chart. The song appears on his 1978 album, Step II.
A 12" single was released in 1978, with "Dance (Disco Heat)" as the A-side and "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" as the B-side, and these two extended dance mixes proved to be very popular in the dance clubs at the time. The two songs held down the top spot on the BillboardDance/Disco chart for six weeks in August and September of that year and helped to establish Sylvester's career as a noted disco and dance music performer, both in the U.S. and abroad.

Scottish Step Dancing - Jig, Strathspey and Reel
Gergel School. St Andrew's Night in Kiev 2012
Step dancing is indeed the tune is about. The fiddle is the preferred instrument for step-dancing as it allows the dancers and the audience to appreciate the percussive sound of feet on the floor. The subject of traditional dance is one which, to date, has been under-researched in Scotland and, while the paper can only touch upon it, perhaps it can appeal to serious researchers to take it up. For most of this century, not only the nation but the world has been influenced by modern ideas
of dance as presented by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. Because the R.S.C.D.S.'s more famous co-founder, Miss Jean Milligan, was principal dance teacher at Jordanhill College of Education in Glasgow, she was in a position of great influence in Scotti...

Because the R.S.C.D.S.'s more famous co-founder, Miss Jean Milligan, was principal dance teacher at Jordanhill College of Education in Glasgow, she was in a position of great influence in Scottish Education. All teachers who trained at Jordanhill and at Scotland's other Teacher Training Colleges were subsequently taught dance according to a new and strictly imposed Schools' Curriculum, where dance still holds a time-honoured place. It is relatively easy to see, therefore, how an entire nation was converted to "correct" dancing practices while the old styles were set aside and labelled "wrong". All the more reason, then, to study the dance styles of areas which were outwith the influence of the RSCDS. (Margaret Bennett, School of Scottish Studies. Edinburgh University, U.K.)

A strathspey is a type of dance tune in 4 4 time. It is similar to a hornpipe but slower and more stately, and contains many dot-cut 'snaps'. A so-called Scotch snap is a short note before a dotted note, which in traditional playing is generally exaggerated rhythmically for musical expression. An example of a strathspey would be the song "The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond", provided it is sung staccato:
Other examples are Auld Lang Syne (based on Sir Alexander Don's Strathspey) and Coming through the Rye (based on an old strathspey tune called The Miller's Daughter).
Because the strathspey rhythm has four strong beats to the bar, is played quickly (generally ranging from 108 beats per minute, for Highland Dance, up to 160 beats per minute, for step dance), and contains many dot-cut 'snaps', it is a rhythmically tense idiom.
