Devised in March 2003 to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Strathspey Server. The strathspey balance in line figure (see below for instructions) across the top and bottom of the set, and then on the sides, depicts the connections among dancers around the world through the Internet, thanks to the Strathspey Server.

Music:  John Stephen of „Chance Inn‟ (Fitchet‟s SD Collection, page 7). A suitable recording for this dance is the Selection of Strathspeys, Track 11 of Any Good Dance, Any Good Tune, by Bobby Brown and The Scottish Accent.

Strathspey Balance in Line (devised by <<ddp:Levy, Milton#501>>).

Two bars of music; strathspey (common schottische) setting.Handing as follows:  On bar 1, those with left hands joined in the middle drop left hands and all, moving to the right, join left hands under right hands, then drop right hands.  Those moving into the middle of the line join right hands.  Repeat moving to the left on bar 2, joining right hands under left hands.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
