The Thistle

The Thistle is a Scottish ladies' solo step dance devised by Irene Fidler and published in 2007.[1] This elegant dance performed to a set of waltzes[1] builds on a rich yet relatively little known tradition of Scottish step dancing as maintained within the frame of annual St. Andrew's Summer School of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society[2] The flower of thistle is reported to have been the symbol of Scotland since 1470s.[3]

gollark: But there may be a better approach for your particular problem, so what is it for exactly?
gollark: The Σ bits are just "sum of", which are really easy to implement with for loops.
gollark: That's not too terrible.
gollark: What's this for, exactly?
