Subject: RE: Info on William Kemp of 'Kemp's Jig'
Morris Dancing is not generally a form of progression, except in a couple of dances, ie. Winster. The majority of Morris Dances are also performed by a Set of dancers, numbering 4,5,6 or 8. The form known as Jigs, are performed by 1 or 2 dancers. I guess that the individual moves could be extended in a linear fashion. Anyone who manages to dance from Norwich to London has my greatest admiration. I was knackered the last time I did The Nutting Girl (the dance that is) 4-5 times in one day. OK so i did other dances too. I guess if you were really trying you would make about 1 mile out of that, I can still see the tower of Norwich Cathedral. JohnB
