Skippers Hill School dancing at the Mayfield May Fair in East Sussex, accompanied by the Mayfield Silver Band. This dance is "The Twister" from The Maypole Manual. Thanks to www.simonheaton.com for the video
I'm from the UK but I've never experienced this which is a shame. Thanks to those who organise these events so that we don't lose our cultural traditions.
All the April showers have gone away Finally in the month of May kids play Around a May pole first day of May They laugh with joy together all day Around an round a May pole in May
They're fine dancers as well, Simon. It's great to see children dancing the maypole to more traditional music: a trend down here in Kent at the moment seems to favour doing the same dances but to modern pop!
