Extractions: Formed in the last millenium we are members of the Morris Ring of England and perform dances from the Cotswold area. Here we are in full flight! The Side The origins of these dances are uncertain, but probably lie in pre-Christian fertility rites. The sticks, bells and handkerchiefs were thought to chase away evil spirits and ensure good returns from the land. Further thoughts on this We take our colours and our 'Fishes' symbol from the Bournemouth Coat of Arms. The fishes are only presented to the wearer when he is considered to be a proficient dancer by the rest of the team. We welcome new members to the team and teach newcomers during the winter practice season Thursday nights at the Liberal Hall, Wimborne . If you wish to contact the team call the Squire(leader) Mike on 01202 691608 or the Bagman(secretary) Keith on 01202 602780. The Bourne River Morris Program Current Program The Stourvale Mummers An ugly bunch A strange thing happens to morris men in the winter; their faces turn black and they may wave scimitars about.

Extractions: PAGE CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR THIS PAGE >>> Morris Dancing Teams can be found all over Great Britain and many new teams have been found in Canada, U.S.A., Hong Kong and Australia. Many people would recognise this essentially English tradition but what exactly is it? It's origins are vague, and many different theories have been expounded on it's beginning. Some believe that the dances seen today are derived from the French Moresque or the Spanish Morisca dances of the late 15th and early 16th Centuries. Others put forward the theory that the dances are remains of pre-Christian fertility rites for soil and crops. Certainly by the end of the 16th Century Morris dancing had become established as a form of entertainment often accompanying the seasonal celebration of the coming of the Spring and Autumn harvests.
