As a standard country dance in the United States, schottische performance follows two short runs and a hop followed by four turning hop steps: step step step hop, step step step hop, step hop step hop step hop step hop.

Schottisches as danced in the United States (and perhaps in the Anglo-Saxon world in general) are rather different from the ones danced on the Continent (in the context of a bal folk). The American version is much as is described above, that is to say quite large and open, with the first part expressed equally as promenades, individual or led twirls or similar moves, and the second part most often expressed as a close pivot. It seems to be mostly referred to as a "shodish".

so it appears both Don and Scot are correct you need to find out if they want ballroon type Schottische or "shodish".

around here if they say "shodish" they want a line dance or promenade.

Now you know you can have both ready just in case.
