Liberty Hill North West Morris on Ball Bridge Sheffield 

I love the way women's sides are shaking Molly (dances) by the ears!

This is North West dance originating in the Lancashire &Cheshire areas & traditionally danced by men and women or mixed groups. You can find historic film in archives showing both girls and boys participating. Molly dancing comes from East Anglia. Cotswold Morris comes from around Oxfordshire. All these and Plough Morris from Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire, exist alongside each other in modern morris dance culture. You make your choices - and officially there are now more women morris dancers than men and mixed gender sides.

@@moiraruff3292 Even 50 years ago…as Cotswold Morris began to infiltrate the 'back-to-the-land' movement in New England…it became obvious that male dominated anything was not going to suit all…for everybody… big and small...as the communal families had already begun to fall apart...with misplaced spouses and ‘Stolen Children' of all ages following their own fairies hand in hand down mysterious paths…some of which might have led to today and beyond…correct me if I am wrong..

Thanks!!

Some dancers are members of more than one team. The lady in jeans was also dancing with Cutlers Gate Border Morris and is wearing their outfit.

@@stewartward1352 Oh right, thank you, I appreciate your response.

How would it make more sense? That is just a fude comment.
