- Beltane Border Morris dancing Huntress at the Wreckers Day of Dance outside the Cross Keys Inn in Cawsand on Sat 20th Sept 2014. The dance is one of our own created in 2004 and modified in 2012
such energy and passion, long may you dance folk of Morris.
That was awesome, a new age fusion style Morris dance.
Love the wild dance. Love the music. Just remember, without music there is no dancing. Together its simply amazing.
Well rehearsed and performed with panache ...BRAVO
Respect from the Celtic Pagans of Eire. Keep our culture strong and teach our children of who we are. One Celtic Pagan nation. Slainte agus Saoirse
It's a morris side.
And as such it is neither pagan nor Celtic (despite their name).
These losers destroying their own traditions to appease anti-white racists who hate our culture, how pathetic. Ask these clowns why they stopped painting their faces black in the past few years.
Imagine changing a 300+ year old tradition, all because some brown people who hate us told you to

Morris dancing is very ancient and there is no evidence to suggest it doesn't have Celtic or Pagan origins.
@@johnbrereton5229because it's anglo saxon dance😊
This is known as Border Morris (Welsh/English border). The village is in Cornwall, England - but they often are pagan at these folk festivals.
Love the drive in the music and the wild dancing.
I love this, we should do it more with these guys style of the dance
This is simply great! So hypnotizing and full of energy... Can't just stop watching.
Same.. Thing great vibe

About time this great island rediscovered it's culture and roots . Destroyed by the Christians so long ago .
Some say it was crusaders coming back imitating moorish dancers ? So perhaps very bloody Christians.
This is real scary Morris dancing.

Beautiful performance, and wonderful videography. However, a little pointer--when filming Morris, it's always a good idea that the mic stays on the opposite side of the Side from the band. If you get too close to the musicians, we can't hear that lovely "clack-clack" from their sticks that we all LOVE so much in Border Morris!...
Floating, flying spirits - bloody fantastic
Top class... Whoever worked the camera got some quality angles! And the music's is spot on.. Anything happening with shows this year?
Thanks Elina. It's definitely a wild dance and is set on the high open moorland in Dartmoor near Scorhill Stone Circle where, on the night of the Hunters Moon each October, Diana the Huntress is reputed to appear and chase any men she finds across the moor and into the bogs. A couple of years ago we introduced a new battle move halfway through the dance where the men try to fight back but the chase resumes and they eventually all drown (2 mins 17 secs in). Glad you enjoyed it
Looks West African hence Moorish origins of Morris.

Moorland and Dartmoor.

There is no evidence to suggest it has any connection to the Moors of North or West Africa, in fact it bears no relation to any of the dancing there.
Ulrike, if you're learning the dance here's a few tips to help you along. It starts with a chorus and has three main moves (or what we call figures). At 0mins 41secs is 'cross sticks.' After the next chorus at 1'17" it's 'battle' and the final figure is 'three tops' at 1'53". Over the years the dance has gradually got faster but I actually think it looks just as good at a slower pace. The trick with the chorus is once you've crossed the set in your two lines of three is to seamlessly turn those straight lines into as good a circle as you can make it even when you turn and change direction, the circle being the full hunters moon. Best of luck, Ant
+Ant Veal - Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately I fell on my back the day of the first rehearsal and so now... I am the drummer. I've been told a few times, "You've gotta POUND it like those drummers in the Beltane!" I'm working on it! Cheers from Les Tartes de Pomme in Lauzun, France!

love it
Great dancing, music and filming. Brill.
I love this, and the music. Bravo!
Beautiful and without any need for future cultural enrichment.
Fantastic. Love it!
Amazing stuff! Nice to see women in there. Dangerous, though! Years ago, a friend and I were taking a break from our SCA fight practice and got chatting to a Morris dancer also taking a break. We decided we were safer bashing each other with rattan swords! 😂
I saw something very similar in Lancashire on a day out. I don't know if it was for the same thing, but they were also dressed in black. Years living in Manchester and that was the best bit lol
In transilvanya we have something similar it's called ''Lole''
Yes, definite similarities. In winter one of our traditions is to wassail where we scare the evil spirits of the orchards away. And of course costumes are made of mostly black rags with faces disguised. I would love to see the Lole one day
@@antveal in our tradition we also scare the bad spirits and our costumes are black rags and we have a mask on our face we have bells tied on them
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Great stuff, keep it growing!
Will do!
Beautiful so glad I found this channel
Amazing!
superb, best of Britain..
This is great.
Wow! Just wow! Thank youxxxx
Brilliant.

Saludos desde Lancre.😊
Check out Steeleye Span, Dark Morris.
This is how I imagine all Morris was before the Victorians sanitised it
needs more hankies and jingly bells
So cool! Are they ravens or crows?

ktsenya2 Hi, at the moment we're mainly posting to Facebook at facebook.com/BeltaneBorderMorris but do have a website at www.beltaneborder.co.uk but this needs a lot of updating.
Great dancing but what does it say on the red guys T shirt?
This is awesome! So "Huntress" is the name of the tune?
Could you please post the title of the music for each dance, thank you.
The tune is "the Cuckoo's Nest"
То,что охотники,я поняла.а,вот историю не знаю.где почитать?.
Google the " Black Act 1723". It will give you the background originating in poaching in disguise and nothing to do with black face in the US.
And why is this not played before rugby - New Zealanders have hacker
I hope those hatches don't fall in
Beltane? Do you not mean Bealtaine?
Same thing different spelling
@@jasonallen9144 Wrong spelling though.
@@jasonallen9144I know they mean Bealtaine so they should spell it correctly at least.
@@OhEidirsceoil how would you spell your name in English.
@@jasonallen9144 I wouldn't.
Are two of them dressed as females? Looks like west African origins.
There are women in that group.
@@roberthickman4092 OK. Still looks like they are impersonating Mende dances.
@@HOPROPHETA Mende and Morris are two unrelated dance traditions and they look nothing like each other-for starters Mende has a syncopated rhythm and this doesn't. Morris has far more in common with Irish/Scottish step-dancing or other European folk dances than anything from Africa. The black makeup stems from the days when dancers would disguise themselves for poaching with coal dust or ash-you can see the pheasant feathers in the costumes.
It's very English, we have the oldest recorded dance in the world, the Abbots Bromley horn dance.
Nothing to do with Africa at all. This is British
It’s just as rubbish as the normal costume one
Brilliant...
