Subject: RE: BS: Morris dancing in the rain
Actually, I forgot we do have some high grip rubber soled shoes for use in the wet, or on very hard surfaces, as our normal ones have no padding or structure to them, and very little grip. I try to block the rubber ones out of my mind as I hate wearing them.

It's normally the choreographer or big boss of dancing* who decides if it's wet enough to change, as its not good having half the team in rubber, and half in leather. We move somewhat differently in rubber, as you have too much grip, and it looks very odd if half the team has changed.




Normally someone who's injured themseleves, or is spare for that day, so is free to run around organisisng, ie shouting at, others, without having to worry about where they're supposed to be. Very useful
