What is Morris Dancing?

Morris Dancing is a style of traditional English folk dance. The Belles dance Cotswold Morris, which is characterised by bells worn on the legs, and hankie and stick dances. The dances that we perform today were primarily collected in the Cotswolds in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
