22. Here's To Our Morris We Love It So Well. . . Morris dance is a form of traditional English folk dance usually done in the Though I dance morris, I am not a pagan or a wiccan; nor are many who dance http://www.gweep.net/~h/new_pages/Morris/

Here's To Our Morris We Love It So Well. . . Recently, like this Fall I began practicing with the Commonwealth Morris Men and hope to be dancing with them in the coming performance season. And then, as if this wasn't enough, Lemon and Capers merged with Middlesex Morris (to my knowledge the only other Mixed (men and women) adult side in the area) to form a new, as-yet unnamed entity. This is Exciting, because both teams have a long history and bring a lot of enthusiasm and energy together. So, watch for us this coming season! 2 March 2000: News Flash! We are now officially Red Herring Morris! The official team page is hosted elsewhere. 12 May 2000: After 3 glorious seasons with Lemon and Capers/Red Herring, I have ended my tenure with that team. But, Whut Izzit? Morris dance is a form of traditional English folk dance usually done in the spring. It is distinct from English Country Dance (the stuff you saw in all those Jane Austen movies over the past couple of years). There are many types of Morris (Cotswold, Border, Step-Clog, Sword, Rapper, Molly, Garland); I dance with two Cotswold Morris teams. Dances are typically done in sets of four, six or eight, dancers wear bellpads on their shins, usually white trousers and shirts with team-specific "Kit" (waistcoats, sashes, baldrics, jackets) which usually includes ribbons and rosettes. We dance to live music, typically a fiddle or some sort of squeezebox or accordian (though other instruments are used too, up to and possibly including a grand piano on a flatbed).

23. Post-War History Of East Surrey Morris Men district who had come together to dance morris (and sword) at local festivals, of 1214 year old boys anxious to dance morris out of school hours. http://www.esmm.org.uk/html/history-section/post-war.htm

History Hist Post-War History Revival Although the war brought an end to normal life, Reg Howes said that a few of the older members continued to attend Morris Ring meetings and that in 1947, the side was represented at the Thaxted Ring meeting. By 1948, there were a few men in the district who had come together to dance Morris (and sword) at local festivals, but their efforts were uncoordinated and a full side could not always be mustered. Grace Meikle, who had moved back into the area after the war, again took the initiative and, on 22 October 1948, wrote to all the local men known to have an interest in the Morris, inviting them to a meeting in Ewell with a view to reforming a side. The meeting was held a week later and ESMM was reincarnated with Robert Ash as Squire and Charles Rowse as Bagman. Although Kenneth Constable did not attend this meeting he was invited back and played an active part as Foreman until his retirement in 1960. He also served a further 2-year term of office as Squire. ESMM are lucky enough to have the log-book which Reg Howes started in 1948. This records every outing of the side for the next 10 years, including the names of the dancers at each event.The number of dancers was generally quite small and the names most frequently appearing at this time were Bob Ash, Cecil Capp, Walter (Wally) Wakefield, Charles Rowse, Reg Howes, Eddie Reavell, Fred Higgins (the musician - concertina), Cleeve Mason and Bert Aldis.

Cotswold Morris: What is it? Series of recordings Order the discs History Folklore Mailing List THE BEGINNERS GUIDE TO COTSWOLD MORRIS All you really wanted to know, and some things you didn't. By Steve Douglas Introduction This article attempts to explain the essence of Cotswold Morris and gives some insight into the form of the dancing and how the dancers organize themselves and perform. These days most people in the United Kingdom have either seen Cotswold Morris dance, or know about it. However, it is a serious presumption to expect that everyone in the world knows what a pub is, never mind how Cotswold Morris dancing works. Some things here may be obvious to you and me but not to the majority of non-English people, in other words, most of the world. Please therefore bear with me when I say something obvious, or say something slightly inaccurate for the sake of simplicity. The Cotswold Style of Morris Cotswold Morris is not restricted to the geographical region of The Cotswolds. It is danced all over the country, and all over the world too. If you had to sum up the Cotswold style in a few phrases you would have to say that it was typified by a light, jumping style, and the use of bells, sticks and hand-kerchiefs (or wavers as they are sometimes known). The expression 'light, jumping style' is a relative term, other styles of Morris involve a heavier 'stamping rhythm' type of dance coupled with shouts, more akin to the African tribal dancing. It is relative because not all Cotswold Morris sides perform strictly 'light' jumping. Some dances for example involve heavy footwork and, especially with a double or triple team (12 or 18 dancers) the expression 'light' does not come to mind. For example, on one memorable occasion Eynsham Morris, who dance the Cotswold Style, broke the stage at the Chippenham Folk Festival dancing a double set of

Subject index Making History Professor Alun Howkins, professor of social history at Sussex University, discussed the origins of Morris dancing. He said that, as with many folk customs, the origins are hidden in the mists of time and coloured by later perceptions, which may or may not have been correct. According to Professor Howkins, when people recorded these customs in the 1890s, they were obsessed with seeking out ancient beginnings. In the seventeenth century there had been suggestions of a connection with Moorish dancing and it was adopted as a convenient theory. It fitted in, for example, because some dancers blacked up their faces and attached bells to their legs, which was believed to be something to do with North Africa. Similarly, there is no evidence that Morris dancing has any connection with pagan festivals.

Cotswold Morris: What is it? Series of recordings Order the discs History Folklore Mailing List A BRIEF HISTORY OF MORRIS Some of the documented facts about the Morris dance By Steve Douglas Origin One question that is often asked of a Morris dancer is "What are the origins of Morris dancing?" If you ask this question of half-a-dozen different people you will likely get six different answers. I used to think that no-one really knew. In one sense that is true, in another it is not. The problem comes down to what you actually mean by the question. If what you mean is "How did the dance come to be in England?" the answer is fairly clear-cut. The English Morris dance is probably derived from the Spanish or Flemish Morisco. Dictionary-writers began to assert this fact in the 17th century: Morisque: f. A Morris (or Moorish) daunce; also, the mizzen sayle of a Ship.
