geights

Geights, also known as geights or geights, are a type of traditional Scottish dance that originated in the late 19th century. The dance is characterized by its fast-paced, lively steps and is often performed in pairs or groups. Geights are typically danced to traditional Scottish music, such as reels or strathspeys, and are often accompanied by the sound of bagpipes or fiddles.

The dance is named after the Scottish town of Geith, where it is believed to have originated. The exact origins of the dance are unclear, but it is thought to have evolved from a combination of traditional Scottish dances and English country dances. Geights are typically danced in a circle or line, with dancers moving in and out of the circle or line as the music progresses.

Geights are often performed at Scottish festivals, such as the Highland Games, and are also popular at weddings and other social events. The dance is typically taught in dance schools and clubs, and there are many different styles and variations of the dance. Geights are a popular and energetic dance that is enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds.
