The image showcases the vibrant Cornish Folk Dance Festival held at Poltair on a sunny summer day in 1921. As our gaze settles upon the scene, we find ourselves immersed in an enchanting display of children dancing with unbridled enthusiasm. The photograph expertly captures the essence of this cherished tradition as boys and girls clad in their respective uniforms joyfully participate in a spirited competition. Amidst the picturesque outdoors, these young dancers radiate pure happiness and pride as they showcase their skills to an eager audience. It is evident that every step taken by these talented performers is infused with reverence for their heritage. Notably present among them are members of Girl Guides and Boy Scouts organizations who add an extra layer of charm to this already delightful spectacle.
