@@amz1232 their defiently not!!! Loads at side aren’t, I have no idea about Morris dancing what so ever, so why can’t they show any emotion!! Like smiling! Or like their enjoying it! And also why if you learn a routine, why do you need a leader!?? Surely if you e all be taught the dance correctly, you can work out spacing and positions without someone their? I’m not judging, I’ve just done a lot of different dancing styles, and I do not understand it…. And fine if sooooo repetitive for 20 mins’! Can you not add like don’t more moves in
@@tesnidaviesx I think what she means is your not doing the crossover step (mix between down step and kick out) but what she doesn’t realise is that many troupes have many different styles, like the troupe I used to dance for danced quite fast and always placed our foot in front of the other toe and we tucked it right in if you know what I mean. I actually think your step is harder as you actually have to think about your foot placement and where it’s going rather than just crossing it over your other foot and letting the foot do what it wants x
Hardly. I do Cotswold Morris dancing and it's NOT like that, neither are any other styles such as longsword, border, rapper, etc. These girls just started with Irish dancing and put a few vaguely Morris style steps in it. Makes me sick to see one of our wonderful traditions ruined like that.
It is Morris. I know it seems odd if you're a southerner but this is actually a form of North West Morris. And please do not call rapper and longsword Morris.
FYI the description of the "Morris" dance you posted on has been changed to "What a dance this is just shocked me in the end." But it was a search on Morris Dance that brought me to it. I found it very strange for its rigid technique, the girls' glazed expressions, and the pompoms, which for me recall American cheerleaders.
This is what used to be called "Fluffy Morris". It has no relevance whatsoever - imagined or otherwise - to genuine Cotswold, Lichfield, Lancashire, Welsh Border, or any other traditional Morris dancing, which has hundreds of years' tradition behind it, and can be traced to pre-Christian fertility celebrations and magical mystery origins. You can call it whatever you like, I suppose, but it isn't Morris, and never has been.
I suppose it might be possible for you to make a more factually incorrect comment but I don't know how. Girl's Carnival Morris ( Fluffy Morris) is actually a direct descendant of the NW processional morris tradition that became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It has every right to be called 'morris'. Morris dancing originated as a 15th century royal court entertainment. Talk of Pre-Christian 'magical mystery' origins and fertility rites is uneducated twaddle.
Dance routine very tiring and not entertaining, footwork needs improving, armwork is very stiff, lift arms up with elbows in back straight, butt in, overall the trainer needs to train her girls as champion dancers not a routine robot style to make it look clean.. terrible. Not the girls fault. But the trainer needs to watch and listen to the girls as they have ideas worth listening/ watching.
Well we have a new troupe so idc care about it well all the timing was on the right time and foot was all good and it's just morris dancing that dont need traning think you need traning look at yourself
