The AGM followed by The ancient English Morris Dance

Where does Morris Dancing come from? Why will you find men and women dancing with bells on their legs outside country pubs all through the summer, waving handkerchiefs or clashing sticks? Do you believe them if they tell you it’s a pagan fertility ritual? This talk disentangles the myth from the real history, uncovers the different kinds of morris dancing, and reveals where its origins lie and where it is going.
