Whittlesey straw bear Jan 11th 2024

A little snapshot of some of the things the Belles saw at yesterday’s Whittlesea Straw Bear celebrations! We’re so thrilled to have been invited to dance here this year - and now we’ve all thawed our toes out overnight, look out for us at the burning of the bear today…

#whittleseystrawbear 2025. Download complete, edit in progress. These are #Goathlandploughstots Honouring the Bear. No bears were harmed in anyway, it just looks as though that may happen...

Pics from our 1st birthday tour of Saddleworth yesterday!

We had a fantastic time dancing at this year's Whittlesey Straw Bear, we think we've all defrosted now. Congratulations to our new dancer Lily who made her dance out debut ❤️🤍🖤 #morrisdancing #morrisdancers

Boxing Day tradition.

The 125th anniversary Boxing Day meeting of Headington Quarry Morris Dancers with Rapper sword dancing, the battle of Good vs Evil, Headington Hand bell Ringers, and an appearance by Beelzebub. Great tradition, and great entertainment! #BoxingDay #OX3 #MorrisDancing @headingtonnews.bsky.social

What passed as entertainment in the countryside! The annual Loose Boxing Day morris dancing.

The Westminster Xmas outing in central London with the Belles on Wednesday.

Really enjoying this poster my parents made in 1982 to try and get people to join their morris dancing side.

Last ones from Ian Mayou photography over on Facebook. Wild Moon Morris looking fierce at the recent Pudsey Day of Dance in Tavistock.

Looking forward to our annual ‘Christmas Shopping Disruption’ day in #Norwich on Sat 7 December. The method of disruption is Morris dancing! #morrisdancing #Christmas #funandgames

Nothing says more about British customs than the Village Xmas Light Switch-On. Utterly delightful and life affirming - brass band, morris dancers, choirs, fireworks, Santa on an illuminated train and a parade of tractors decked out in Xmas lights. Thank you to all the #Slaithwaite volunteers 🎄🎆🚜

The delightful Belle D'Vain Clog Morris. In a few days a video with long dance, lots of dancers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Ri...

Another trip down memory lane. This time 2006 and unless I'm mistaken, the earliest recorded photograph featuring our George (the fish).

It's delightful to see so many morris sides turning up in our follower list - if you're one of them, reply with a picture of your dance side (especially if you've got one showing off your musicians) for a re-post.

Thoroughly enjoyed dancing with Beltane Border Morris at @rammuseum.bsky.social tonight as part of their exhibition Dartmoor: A Radical Landscape. Morris sides are often influenced by their surroundings and their members and we've loved embedding the spirit of Dartmoor into much of our repertoire.

Getting to grips with those pesky Maid of the Mill ribbons! 😂 #somerset #morrisdancing #morris #morrisdancersofbluesky #maidofthemill #ilmington

Whilst searching Morris dancing on here and already finding some good friends We came across some posts discussing 'blackface' makeup in Morris. Whilst Wild Moon do wear black 'mask' makeup we have never used full blackface makeup and never will. This tells you why. www.efdss.org/about-us/wha...

We are celebrating our 10 year anniversary! 🎉🎉 A lot has changed since that first meeting in a Wetherspoons in Southampton - we've danced at many different festivals around the country, gained new members & even changed practice cities. Here's to another 10 fantastic years of dancing! ❤️🤍🖤

Chepstow Wassail and Mari Lwyd. Come and help us celebrate this fantastic tradition. 18th January 2025 1230 - 1750.

Here are the extremely colourful, but not here (yet!) Black Pig Border Morris. Tomorrow Belle D'Vain Clog. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ-V...
