I agree that 2 looks Scottish. I've never seen Robin Hood portrayed
wearing a kilt!
Yes. and the man on the right is playing a bagpipe. The crossed swords under
his feet make it a sword dance.
7 looked to me more Australian Aborigine than African, with the heavy
beards and the body paint.
I looked at the pictures before reading other people's comments.

The headdresses in 4 reminded me of ancient Cretan art.

of a music scholar to tell you when these appeared in a
posh dance setting.
Cant help you with the other folk dances. Not my cup of tea,

My take on the pictures is:
13 is definately Russian, look at his shirt - proto-typical of Russian
historical shirts.
I have seen sleeveless over pieces like hers on historical documents/ pictures.
Most likely worn during the 'hot' summer days.
14 appears to be from the Tartar Mountain region

Oh, my. Tastes in art have certainly
I need help...please! I am so much out of my comfort zone. I have a slideshow
online of the ballroom ceiling of the Ringling's Ca d'Zan Mansion in Sarasota,
Florida. The ceiling is called Dancers of the World. There are 17
hand-painted medallions of cultural dancers. I need help with what
Mostly questions. Curious about the other pictures. is there a specific
dance for them as I can see that picture 2 is a Scottish sword dance.
Picture 10 is Plains, Lakota but what they are doing don't look like
anything I have seen.
18- looks like fox trot
19- Lindy hop?
20- Square dance? which
Interestingand beautiful!
Number 18...well the quintessential dance of the 20's is the
Charlestonby today's recollection. But the Fox Trot was danced more at the
time and
these dancers don't look like they're doing the Charleston. The couple in
number
19 look teens to me so maybe

De4ar Penny,
Here's a few more guesses to throw in the ring.
#4 - looks Aztec or Mayan from
4- might be Mayan. :) Though as you say the liberties taken could be that 4
is a blend of the 3. The first figure seems to have a Khamahamai (sp?)
Hawaiian headdress. After looking at some of my stuff on central American,
the seconded figure is Aztec.
5- Ancient Persian or Assyrian?
7- not Maori
