- 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.
