This
dance
was
named
after
the
Chequered
Court,
which
is
the
passage
connecting
the
two
main
buildings
of
University
Hall,
St
Andrews
where
the
RSCDS
meets
for
the
yearly
Summer
School.
It
is
a
general
meeting
place
for casual chats and tea/coffee - or before a party as the party room is just round the corner!
