Morris Dancing

What is Morris Dancing?

Morris Dancing is a highly aerobic, traditional dance style from England. Although this is traditionally done as a street performance, no one in this group will be required to perform.

Cotswold Morris Dancing, from the Cotswold region of England, dates back well over 500 years. Shakespeare refers to Morris dancing in many of his works and often describes it as an "ancient dance." Dances are usually done as a group, with sets of 6. Dancers often wear bells around their legs and wave hankies or clash sticks.

No experience is necessary wave your hankies and join in the fun!
