Peasants dance

The Peasant's dance is an occasional dance event at Faire, intended as a less formal dance event held in addition to the Ball. While the Ball is a 'must have' on the Event Schedule, the Peasant's Dance is more of an optional event, held in years when the local dance community has sufficient enthusiasm.

Scheduling

This is traditionally an afternoon event, set for an outdoor site. Participants prefer even ground for dancing, so the Village Green is usually preferred to the Half-Circle. The Dance usually takes about two hours.

The Dances

While coordinators of the Peasant's Dance may choose a theme (e.g. English Country), this event is often seen as an opportunity to perform dances that are 'SCA traditional', with less period authenticity. Live musicians can be arranged if possible, though music for this dance is often 'canned', as this is a less formal event.
