The Thistle
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Thistle is a Scottish ladies' solo step dance devised by Irene Fidler and published in 2007.[1] This elegant dance performed to a set of waltzes[1] builds on a rich yet relatively little known tradition of Scottish step dancing as maintained within the frame of annual St. Andrew's Summer School of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society[2] The flower of thistle is reported to have been the symbol of Scotland since 1470s.[3]
