Scottish Air is a type of traditional Scottish country dance that is generally performed in organized or patterned formations, also known as "sets." During the dance, the "sets" are usually made up of three or four couples who perform sequences of specialized footwork. The choreography is based on the rhythms of the music, and the tempo and number of repetitions are based on the length of the dance song. It is a festive form of social dancing in which small groups of dancers follow choreographed patterns of movement.
