These songs revive the mystic chords of ancient memory. Thank you!
A great over-all cover of the many Sides - loved it ‼️ Dancing England Still Dances 👍👍💯💯✔✔
Thank you very much! 😊🙏
Good! Keep your culture alive! Enjoy and dance. A Friend from France.
Thank you for this! I miss Morris!
🎉This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.🎉
Thank you so much =)
Great example of one of Britain’s many varied rural folk traditions.
That drumming actually hits so hard!
That was fun to watch! Thank you.
Thank you for your comment 😃I'm glad you liked it!
Commentators remember that English folk styles were not high culture performances, but rural participatory celebrations and rituals.
This is such an important point to make. They are dances designed for people to join in.
HANKIES AND BELLS HANKIES AND BELLS FOR THE WIN!
Amazing English culture that no major media shows at all.
This is on local news often. Stop trying to be a victim. How much money do you donate to Morris Sides? How many folk festivals did you go to last year? How many Morris festivals did you organize last year? Traditions only die when people don’t go to the festivals. Stop being a false victim.
@@williamcaton8432 local news isnt major media, reread what he said
@@williamcaton8432 because most people dont know about them, because theres none of it on peoples news

Morris dancing after the manner of the moors
Great to see this still being practised. Im going to get into it myself and celebrate this great dance commemortaing the reconquista in Spain.
Morris = Moors. The muslim colonisers kicked out of Iberia!
Lol you should thank the moors for western civilisation
@tyrone9953 HAHAHHA. Come on Tyrone, edumacate me, boy. Let's see what trash you can bring to the table with this one
What tune is the first one? Love from Ireland btw reminds me of some of our traditions
Hi, I don't know what is the name of the first music. But you can contact the Chilttern Hundreds Morris on their Instagram page to ask them: @chilternhundredsmorris 😃
This dance is very similar with the Romanian calusarii. There is similarity even with the costume and the fact that they have wooden sticks. The sticks used to be actual swords in the past, but now it's practiced with sticks instead.
1:33 the griddy
This couldn't be any more white even if it was snowing lol
Hmm, why don`t you invite Mooris groups from Romania socalled calushi ,you`ll see there will be many interferences among Britain and Balkan folkrore.
Hi, that's a good idea, but I'm unfortunately not the organisator of this festival ☺ You can contact the organisator of the Oxford folk festival to propose. Here is their Instagram account: @folkweekend_oxford
Well, I think I know how England ended up with a empire that went around the world...
Kind of like the Johnny Cash song, "A Boy Named Sue"...when the nations of the world made fun of Morris dancing, the English were embittered to the point that it roused a great martial spirit...
Best navy in the world too. Probably because the best Morris dancer on every ship was... Well...
... Let's just say English sailors were less prone to getting lonely on the looong voyages from home because of the most excellent Morris dancers.
Britain, like many countries, has many different styles of folk dance. For a small country it has always been a very rich and varied culture from area to area. Obviously it gave the world its language, literature, law, culture too. What are you trying to say and why?
Both interesting and a bit boring
Thank you for watching ;)
Your video is perfect. First time watching this dance. Can you include how these dances came to be?
Quite the workout!
Yes it was! 🏅
Traditional dances are like that.
It's nice and all, keeping the tradition alive, British culture and all that but I just think it's a bit pathetic? Like a Britian's got talent act.
Britain has many more varied folk dance styles than many other places. This is just one ancient ritual style. We also have clog dancing, sword dancing, etc.
@@susandrydenhenderson6234 And English country dancing, as in Playford's 17th century manual "The English Dancing Master". English country dancing moved up the social hierarchy and spread to European court dancing.
Can you imagine other civilisations built the Pyramids and Taj Mahal and this is all these people can be proud of.
a somali saying this 😂
Who brought the industrial revolution to the world?
Magna Carta, maybe?
You don't know much about English culture and history 😂 silly individual! God bless though
Said, in English, on the Internet, using a pc or a mobile phone.
You're jealous, you loser. 😢😢

What are you implying? It’s one of many styles of British traditional folk dance. Other countries have theirs. What’s your point and purpose?
