North West morris dancing at Odyssey

Now that I've hopefully got you briefly interested in North West morris, I should mention that I'm doing a morris workshop on Friday and Monday mornings.  (the other mornings are [livejournal.com profile] frostfox  doing belly dancing and another fan doing Lindy Hop)

No experience required.  Total beginners (which will probably be everyone except me) very welcome.

Traditionally, it was mostly danced by men.  Today, both men and women dance, though single sex sides are almost the norm.

Musicians welcome (we've already got a skilled accordion player in the form of SF writer Tony Ballantyne)  I'll bring along a bodhran for anyone who wants to bang a drum.

I'm borrowing a set of sticks from my local morris side, so there's enough for lots of dancers.

Oh, that sounds like fun! I won't be around Friday morning, but I'll definitely try for the Monday.
