Rag Morris | Morris Dancing teacher

Rag Morris — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:39:58 +0000

Rag Morris has acquired its own inimitable style over the last 27 years – free-spirited, energetic, colourful, comic, and very rarely normal.

We wear brilliantly coloured rag shirts and bells, inspired by the traditional costume of the Welsh Borders. Our dances come from the Cotswold Hills and the Welsh Borders.

We dance with sticks, hankies, bare hands, and occasionally plastic chickens, to the accompaniment of accordions, melodeons, fiddles, whistles, and drums, and with the assistance of our trusty steed, Rags the Horse.
