Local Morris Dancing side, Dacre Morris, returned in September for their second visit to Lee Green WI. The musicians and dancers arrived resplendent in their red dresses, decorated with ribbons, bells and badges. After a brief talk about the history of morris dancing (despite it being historically a male pursuit, these days it’s now more popular among women dancers!), we were treated to a fabulous display by the side. Then it was the turn of our members (some of whom were flashing a bit of crimson to match the Dacre Morris dresses) to be guided through the steps, turns and skips of two routines, hankies in hand….. By the end of the dancing our faces were glowing scarlet with all the music & movement – it was an excellent evening of fun!

“Thank you for an enjoyable time last night. So nice to see people engaging with the red colour and taking part with their hankies made for a very happy event and also a very well structured session.”
“It was such fun! I am in shock that my arms are aching from the vigourous hankie flicking and wafting. A most uplifting and joyful evening!
“What a good fun night. Thank you Morris Ladies for making me laugh!”
