The video shows you Morris dancers in Exeter city centre. Morris dancing is a form of traditional English folk dance that has a long and rich history. It is a way of celebrating the seasons, the land, and the community through music and movement. Here are some unique facts about morris dancing: • Morris dancing is not a single style, but a collection of diverse regional traditions that vary in costumes, steps, figures, and implements. Some of the most common types of morris dancing are Cotswold, Border, Northwest, Molly, Longsword, and Rapper. • Morris dancing is often associated with bells, sticks, swords, and handkerchiefs, but these are not the only implements used by the dancers. Some other examples are clay pipes, broomsticks, antlers, hoops, and even frying pans. • Morris dancing has been influenced by various cultures and historical events over the centuries. Some scholars believe that it originated from ancient pagan rituals or Moorish dances, while others suggest that it was introduced by Flemish immigrants or Roman soldiers. Morris dancing was also affected by the Reformation, the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, and the Folk Revival. • Morris dancing is not only performed by men, but also by women and mixed-gender groups. Women's morris teams emerged in the early 20th century as part of the suffrage movement and the First World War. Today, there are hundreds of women's and mixed-gender morris teams across the UK and beyond. • Morris dancing is not a static or stagnant tradition, but a living and evolving one that adapts to changing times and contexts. Morris dancers often create new dances, tunes, costumes, and customs that reflect their own identities and experiences. Morris dancing is also influenced by other forms of folk dance and music from around the world. • Don't forget to subscribe and hit the 🔔 BELL notification to get notified of our latest videos.
