Excellent video for those curious about the steps, which are trickier than they appear at first glance.

Lovely, professional dance troupe and beautifully filmed. Thank you for instruction on the steps -- they are more difficult than they appear.

"Morris dancing is a wonderful English tradition" ... You don't say! But the vast majority of English/British people seem to hate it like the plague ...why is that?

Because we've been systematically taught to hate our own culture. It's tragic, but a resistance will spark up at some point.

Yes that makes sense ...although, from what I've heard, when there's resentment it goes beyond just thinking that Morris traditions are a bit odd.

It’s associated with being rural and therefore fit for the dim and dull. Class prejudice I reckon.

I've watched the basic double step six times now and still don't understand it. I'll be looking for a slow motion video; there's got to be one here somewhere.

It sounds more complicated than it is. This is because it is traditional for Morris teachers to associate the words "hop" and "jump" with landing from a hop or a jump, rather than taking off, which is the opposite of the way that the words are usually used. Every bar if music is long enough for the feet to touch the floor 4 times. If R =- "right foot" and L = "left foot" then double steps are | R L R R | L R L L | etc.. Single steps are |R R L L | R R L L | etc.

New dances are being written all the time. I'm sure at least one team wrote a new dance for one of HM's many jubilees.

How is that Victorian? It is Morris Dancing, yes. I see nothing Victorian about it. It looks 21st century to me.

Try listening to the vid or reading the description before commenting - it can help to make you look less of a fool in public.

Too many different steps for a first time dance. I agree with the comment about a slomo demo.

European folk dances are so weird. Like most of them probably originated from drunken people in a tavern. XD They're usually cheerful dances though, which is good.

Wait, wait! Is this really called Morris dancing? Or is it called Super Gay?

Men's Morris culture is rich and vibrant. Jolly Boys drinking, singing and dancing is at odds with how the grey flat society would have us live. Morris lifestyle has been perfected over eons as the perfect way for a bloke to enjoy himself, we can drink all day because an approximate ratio of three dances to a pint will keep you on an even keel. We sing drinking songs, sea shanties and chorus songs, the glorious sound of men's voices raised in harmony unites us as a gang. It's tragic that there are so many people isolated from the English Street Dance tradition, there are few other opportunities for a man to live as a man aught to live.
