    Hmmm. Semi-galleys, I'm afraid: neither proper galleys or hooklegs, but something vaguely in between. A quick read of Cecil Sharp's careful descriptions of morris steps or Lionel Bacon's helpful instructions might be worth the effort. All the clubs I played for in my time paid particular attention to galleys, and practised them rigorously. American morris sides are worth watching: their galleys are usually impeccable.

    • @MorrisDancersUK
      @MorrisDancersUK 12 днів тому

      I actually asked them that question the other day and here is their reply. We dance 'longsword', which is a different tradition to rapper. Rapper comes from the NE (Tyneside / Northumberland), whereas longsword comes from Yorkshire. Longsword is, unfortunately, largely dying out compared to some of the other morris / folk dance traditions, with very few teams taking it up. But yes, in our dances the swords tend to stay joined up for the whole dance after the initial walk on / clash, although in some longsword dances (Grenoside, for example, from the other side of Sheffield), this isn't the case.

    50 years ago most New England Morris Dancers and their teams were acolytes of Roger Cartwright and John Vansorosin of the Cambridge Morris Men and their women's team Muddy Water Morris...Rodger and John both kept homes in Boston and rural Maine... both are now long dead...and neither of them at that time had retained the lightfootedness and delicate but strong bounce of Richard Arrowsmith...Consequently though striving to reach Richard's level...sadly all generally fell short...you you have done well Richard..!!... sincerest congratulations...God Bless the future of Morris in the USA..

      Hi Elizabeth, Would the women's side be Muddy River Morris. This side is on the internet A Community - Our History Muddy River Morris held its first practice at Wheelock College in Boston in 1975 during a time of resurgent enthusiasm for folk dancing. Muddy River women were among the first to challenge the notion that only men should dance Morris! Nearly 50 years later, a few original team members remain. Nearly 100 individuals have danced with the team while they lived, studied and/or worked in the Boston area. The composition of the team is dynamic with many comings and goings but the group continues to be a community of all ages and diverse backgrounds. A vibrant group of younger dancers who are high schools students,
