North West Morris Dance

North West Morris Dance

The style of morris dancing from the North-West of England is very different from other types of morris dancing. The dancers generally wear clogs, and often dance to a brass band. The dances are often processional in nature, or contain figures involving complex geometrical patterns. Emphasis is on military style precision rather than elegance and grace.
