Morris Dancing has been
recorded in history for many hundreds of years, it is the traditional
ritual male folk dance of England.
It is very good exercise
and can keep you fit, as long as you don't go mad on the beer!
Even if you do go mad on
the beer, it is still a good way to have a social drink with friends
Most Morris men are reasonably
normal and have normal jobs. Don't be fooled into thinking we are all
a load of weirdos, only some of us are.
Don't think it is difficult
to join a side, your local library will often have information or you
can ask someone at a barn or folk dance, someone will usually know someone
involved.
A lot of people poke fun
at us but more look forward to seeing us, particularly visitors from
abroad where they often have similar dance traditions of which they
are proud.
Don't be put off by the
kit we wear, it is just a traditional uniform and lots of people are
happy to wear some sort of uniform, even if it is just a football kit
or cricket whites.
