What a great performance - very clean moves, nice uniformity and !! knees up!! Not to mention you all look like you're having a good time. Well done!

Looks very fun! Great work 😁

🙋‍♀️Great side,wish some didn’t do a two step rant. Kills your knees on high rant but it looks great. Keep on dancing 🙂

5 Stars...!!.. Excellent kit and so much less stilted than the Cotswold Morris we had to dance 50 years ago... Go for it Women... the future of Morris is in your hands..!!!..

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..

This would make more sense if it was danced by young girls, not grandmas.
