I would love to say something about both the footage shown and Azizi's
Questions, but it is such a huge subject and I just don't have time.

The only real "Morris" dancing was with sticks and it was a very
average performance of an Adderbury dance called Lad's A Bunchum.

The sword dance was Rapper from the north east of England.

There is a huge difference between Country Dancing & Morris
But I suggest you go look on the web for research because there many
places information can be found.
