Green Man Why are morris dancers under threat from (27) RE: Why are morris dancers under threat from 19 Jun 13


Morris men are under threat from themselves.

As long as they run the Morris like a big boys club it will decline.

If it was not for women maintaining the tradition over wartime periods it probably would be in a much worse state.

The Morris Ring have their ideas and the rest don't.

I much prefer Border or Cotswold to the c loggers but they do have their place and they dress up in strange outfits (even for Morris people)

I think we are dying out in a demographic sense as we as a group are failing to attract young people to continue the tradition.
