Fall 10 - Morris Dancing

Morris Dancers - Mary Ashlyn Dohoney

CRAZY men dressed in bells and flowers waving sticks that they very well may whack you on the head with, dancing enthusiastically in traditional dance = The Morris Dancers for Nottingham. They were accompanied by a group of lady cloggers who entertained and educated us on the art of clogging during intermission.  This was truly a fun filled night!  The performance ended with their traditional New Year’s Eve skit which symbolized the old year passing, but being revived by the new one to come.

After everything, the whole lot of them decided to come down to the Bistro to mingle with us. The students and Morris Dancers had a sing-off which was fun, yet embarrassing on our part.  Old fashioned drinking songs combatted with Journey - “Don’t Stop Believing” and “The Lion Sleeps tonight”.

We finished the night by participating in a dance that the group taught us spur of the moment.  

Brilliant night!!!!
