Subject: Strictly Morris Dancing From: Les in Chorlton Date: 06 Feb 09 - 04:49 AM Just received a flyer through the post from Keith and Tony of Manchester Morris Men: "Manchester Morris Men are holding free taster sessions for dancers, beginners and musicians at St Matthews Church Hall Stretford, next door to Stretford mall 'The Arndale Centre', on Chester Road" Saturday 21 February 11.00am 1. 00pm & 2. 30pm More details Here Cheers L in C |
Subject: RE: Strictly Morris Dancing From: VirginiaTam Date: 06 Feb 09 - 05:36 AM Hi Les I thought this thread was mocking referral to the BBC news reader yesterday who announce a report on the Morris movie. Her announcement prior to the actual report/reporter was Strictly Come Morris Dance or some such. People who saw the news report and are following the Morris: a life with bells on thread might be likewise confused. Tam |
Subject: RE: Strictly Morris Dancing From: Les in Chorlton Date: 07 Feb 09 - 04:21 AM It looks like a really good idea - a chance to sample some dancing from a venerable Morris side. L in C |
Subject: RE: Strictly Morris Dancing From: GUEST,LTS pretending to do housework Date: 07 Feb 09 - 04:46 AM There are moves afoot to write a morris dancing programme for the Wii balance board, but although it allows weights up to 23 stone (a must for many morris dancers), it is not robust enough to allow jumping so that idea won't go. However.... there are those children's dance mats that might be adapted.... Good luck on the recruiting drive! LTS |

Subject: RE: Strictly Morris Dancing From: Phil Edwards Date: 09 Sep 11 - 12:18 PM Manchester MM are still going, and they're recruiting again - at least, they're distributing flyers. They dance Clog Morris & some Cotswold - so no facepaint and tatters - and they're a Morris Ring side, which I guess means it's M only. But it's Morris & it's local; I'm thinking about checking them out. |
Subject: RE: Strictly Morris Dancing From: bfdk Date: 10 Sep 11 - 04:54 AM They were in Whitby this year. Turns out I've been ceilidhing with one of them on a regular basis for the past 4 years at Whitby, but it's only this year I realized he has this dark secret.. ;-) |
