One distinct aspect of Scarborough faire is the strong presence of country dance. Quite a lot of people at this faire have a broad and deep knowledge of country dance. Here, you wil find literally scores and scores of cast members, crafters, hired hands, and even ren addicts like me who partake in it. Below are a number of shots exemplifying the dance skills of the Scarborough cast.
