Wiggle, stomp and spin together in this playful introduction to traditional Morris dancing from the Cotswold region of England.
These dances, which date back centuries, involve simple stepping sequences and figures, and are danced together in sets of six dancers. Learn about the different types of Morris dancing and where in the country they originate, and look at a couple of dances from different villages in the Cotswolds. Open to all ages and abilities!
