Star Wars Morris! (and young morris dancers)

[watervole]

 I want one of those standees!



For the full article, see here.

After all, don't you want to know about Belles of London who dance Cotswold Morris in corsets, and Hammersmith Morris - who are so popular that they have more dancers applying to join than they can cope with?



The site has an even better picture of the lassies in corsets - just in case you needed an incentive...  (It's actually to do with a movement to get morris involved in the Olympic ceremonies)

And while we're looking at handsome young morris dancers, the ladies among you may enjoy Earlsdon Morris, who dance North West Morris.



You can read more about them here. (and more pictures too)

Oh really? Earlsdon is walking distance from my house (that's where we went to Millsy's bar that time). I must keep an eye out.

They dance in a range of places. Their web site is http://www.earlsdonmorrismen.org.uk/index.html Their calendar is under the 'this side' tab.

(There's older dancers in the side as well, but a lot of young ones)

I'd love to know what their standard of dance is like (the article implied that it was high). A good North West side with young men could be seriously impressive. North West can range from a dull, twee dance, to something with serious drama. And the good sides tend to be the ones who turn out in full traditional gear, like Earlsdon.

They certainly look a likely bunch!
Do they know the Stick & Bucket dance?

For that dance, you need to watch http://www.lancre-morris-men.co.uk/plussite/index.html in Durham...

Hmm, morris-dancing stormtroopers... that it something I'd pay to see.

Thank you for posting this article. Not only it is fun but it really nice to see those enthusiastic young people.
Haha, those troopers there - great!
