    Sometimes that can be a dance in itself.

    To the left for me. I enjoy wearing the sporran strap buckle to the front, tucked behind my sporran. The buckle is on my right side. That makes it easiest to push the sporran to the left for dancing, or the men's room.

    If I know I'm going dancing I prefer to leave off the sporran and wear a vest to hold what I need to take along for the evening. In fact, Hamish taught me years ago, that kilts don't need a belt and a vest or short jacket beats a sporran. Tried his advice and find it much more comfortable than dealing with a sporran. Sporran free also lets more of the glorious tartan show.

    If you're a single gent and enjoy dancing, go to the dance wearing one of those ruffled pirate shirts like you see with kilts on the covers of romance novels. The ladies will ASK YOU to dance.

    I can remember when my daughter was competing in Highland dance, the boys all had sporrans that would, umm, bounce when they danced. Turns out their dance sporrans were very lightweight facsimiles of a regular sporran. The lesser weight and mass tended to be less punishing. You want to see something funny, go to YouTube and look up any live performance of the Red Hot Chilli Pipers doing "Don't Stop Believing." The pop tune alternates with a jig and they all bounce up and down to the beat during the jig. The drummers: no problems. The pipers: no problem. The brass and guitarists: problems. Ranging from stopping after the third hop to one hand on the instrument (minds out of the gutter, lads ) and the other holding down the sporran to spare their sensitive bits. Fun tunes, as well.
