That the Parliament celebrates Dance Scottish Week, from 17 to 25 September 2010, along with countries spanning the globe; commends the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society, established in 1923 with 170 branches across the world, for what it considers its tremendous work in promoting and developing Scottish country dancing worldwide for fun, fitness and friendship; acclaims the society for continuing to preserve a dance tradition with the aim of ensuring that country dancing remains at the heart of Scotland’s heritage for generations to come, and notes the success of the Kandahar Reel developed by serving Black Watch soldiers in Afghanistan, which it considers was danced to perfection in the Scottish Parliament on 14 September.
