To the left is a list of Elizabethan country dances currently in the Guilde of St. Ives repertoire.  Each link will eventually contain several files.

A sound file of the music we use at the Faire (either .wav or .mid or both).
A printable version of the melody.  Most melodies are 400+ years old and, therefore, are not copyrighted.
A link to acquire the copyrighted versions of Faire-arrange harmonies.
A text file describing the step sequence of the dance.
A file containing the dance step descriptions in line with the music.
Any reference source information that has been provided to us.
A demonstration of the dance (either animation or video).

When we locate professionally recorded versions of this dance music that we like, we will also add links to commercial sites for purchase of these recommended recordings.
