Four Hundred Roses

 Alex_beecroft on LJ mentioned this group and I had to go for a look.

Four Hundred Roses are from Yorkshire and do belly dancing to morris music (and occasionally add some morris figures to their dances).


I rather like the costumes.  They make me think of Victorian pub landladies in a modern musical.

I saw them in Sheffield - thought they looked fab, but didn't care for the dancing one bit.

The redoutable Chris Ogden was one of my teachers - she completely rocks. Get them for your festival next time!

They do a bellydance and tribal festival called JOY in Saltaire in April and October. If you want to see them come to us and we'll take you there!
