Until Mick caves in to public demand and gives us a morris dancing board, we will have to content ourselves with creating threads in GC. Here's a poll to get the ball rolling. There are 6 main morris dancing traditions. Which is best? Cotswold morris Dances from an area mostly in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire; an established misnomer, since the Cotswolds overlap this region only partially. Normally danced with handkerchiefs or sticks to accompany the hand movements. please log in to view this image North West morris More military in style and often processional. please log in to view this image Border Morris From the English-Welsh border: a simpler, looser, more vigorous style, normally danced with blackened faces (or sometimes otherwise coloured, given the negative connotations for some of blackface). please log in to view this image Longsword dancing From Yorkshire and south Durham. please log in to view this image Rapper From Northumberland and Co.

I have actually witnessed all of these at the Whittlesey Straw Bear Festival and those long sword dancers often end up slicing the skin off their fingers, double-hard bastards.
