A possible dancing myth?

[vmac3205]

According to "So You Want to Wear Kilt" the sash is worn over the right shoulder except for nobility and Scottish Country Dancers. I dance on our demo team, and the sash is worn on the left shoulder, and crosses down across the back and pins to the right hip. One end is pinned, the other end is worn loose so it can fly.

My wife dances on our demo team and is once of the dance teachers. I've heard all of the very strict rules about who wears what, how and when, but I have NEVER heard anyone who has a reason for why.
It's custom, I understand that. But before it was custom someone must have had a reason for starting it.
