Yes, we really are that popular. Find us on FacebookThere's a new Dartington Morris Men Facebook group , where you can share your pictures or comments, and get a discussion going. You'll need a Facebook account to join, but these are free and easy to set up. Join Us!
We always welcome new members, both to the men's side and the boys' side. Autumn is the best time of year to start dancing, when we are practising our dances, but you can talk to us about this at any time - you will always be welcome. If you have a desire to learn to dance the Morris or
enjoy live traditional music, do come along and let us know. Contact
the Foreman for further information, or talk to any member of the side when you see us out and about. Don't worry if you aren't sure - there's no coercion!
Manx Scallop Dance
This ancient tradition was recently discovered through extensive research and the first performance in living memory (or any memory for that matter) took place in private at our Morris Ring meeting. Fortunately, this event was captured on video, and you can see it on Youtube, eloquently introduced by our special guest and Honorary Squire, Geoffrey Hughes. You can see it here . Also on the websiteUnder the Tunes menu, you can find a collection of printable sheet music for a variety of tunes that we play, (or are practising in HLH's 'Melodeon Masterclass'), either for dances or (more likely) in the pub sessions following our performances. |
