Join Us
The Belles generally host auditions for new dancers every September, at the start of our "Practice Season". If you are interested in joining one of these auditions in September 2027, please do contact us at bellesoflondoncity@gmail.com to be added to the waiting list. If you are an experienced Cotswold Morris Dancer interested in joining, please make us aware of this when you contact us! In the meantime, please do come and see us out and about - we are a friendly bunch and always interested in meeting potential Morris dancers!
We feel it is also necessary to make it clear that the Belles will always welcome trans women as dancers, as well as non-binary or gender non-conforming adults who feel a women’s morris team is the correct place for them and who would feel comfortable wearing the Belles’ kit.
