Je réfléchis aux changements qu’a connus cette danse au Cap-Breton et à la manière dont on conçoit la danse à claquettes en Écosse, plus particulièrement aux niveaux visuel et kinesthésique, car il n’existe pas en Écosse, contrairement à l’Île du Cap-Breton, de points de référence et de lignes directrices pouvant soutenir une communauté de danse à claquettes.
