Schottische in Madrid August 2017
The schottische is a partnered country dance that apparently originated in Bohemia.[citation needed] It was popular in Victorian era ballrooms as a part of the Bohemian folk-dance craze and left its traces in folk music of countries such as Argentina (chotisSpanish Wikipedia and chamamé), Finland (jenkka), France, Italy, Norway ("reinlender [no]"), Portugal and Brazil (xote, chotiça [pt]), Spain (chotis), Sweden, Denmark (schottis), Mexico (norteño music), and the United States, among other nations. The schottische is considered by The Oxford Companion to Music to be a kind of slower polka, with continental-European origin.
The schottische basic step is made up of two sidesteps to the left and right, followed by a turn in four steps. In some countries, the sidesteps and turn are replaced by strathspey hopping steps.
Schottisches danced in Europe (in the context of balfolk), where they originated, are different from how they are danced in the United States. The European or Continental version (often pronounced "skoteesh"), is typically danced to faster music and is quite restrained in its movements. The American version (often pronounced "shodish", after the German/Bohemian pronunciation) is often large and open, with a slower tempo than the European schottische. The first part is often expressed equally as promenades, individual or led twirls or similar moves, and the second part is most often expressed as a close pivot.
