Pillings Diagrams

These are a very quick and easy way of reminding yourself of a dance.

Start by looking at what the symbols mean. Then take a dance you know well, say Mairi’s Wedding and read the dance on the diagram using the symbols.

Pillings Diagrams: A list of symbols. There is a link to a longer course on Pilings diagrams at the bottom of the first page.

They were invented by F J Pilling in 1955 and published in the ‘Little Green Book’ which is currently in it’s 9th edition. So sorry, Ladies are square and Men are round.
