Cribs and videos

The cribs and videos of the dances planned for a Wednesday evening at Saltire are now a regular weekly feature on our website under Class Nights. The link will be available each week sometime between the Sunday and Tuesday.

Clicking on the link will bring up a list of the dances on a separate tab. Clicking on a dance will bring up details of the dance, including the crib, the diagram and a selection of videos.

This is the link for the list on 5th November 2025.

One of the dances is 51st Travellers. This dance was devised in 2001 by Sandra Turton of 51st Club, Johannesburg, South Africa, to commemorate the Club’s 50th Anniversary, and dedicated to all the people of the 51st Club who travelled weekly to dance in Johannesburg throughout its fifty years existence.

Some dancers prefer not to look at the dances beforehand and, since all dances are walked through on a Wednesday evening, looking at them in advance is entirely optional.
