'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
The printed dance sheet states: "This is a Shetland square dance for four couples. (...) The music is of a slow reel rhythm and because of the Duke of Edinburgh's connection with the Royal Navy, it has a hornpipe lilt. To a Scottish Country Dancer the Shetland steps are danced low on the balls of the feet, the setting step similar to the Strathspey step but slightly faster."

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (1). 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.
