Banbury Cross Children's Morris Dance Team Banbury Cross in the "Mass Morris" at the New England Folk Festival Natick, Massachusetts, April, 1996 Morris Dance Morris dancing is a traditional form of English folk dance that is thought to have originated in 15th-century Spain, either as a Moorish dance or in imitation of one. In rural England, the dance was a feature of May Day celebrations. The dance is part pantomime, using such stock characters as a Fool and a hobbyhorse to mime traditional English stories. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in Morris in England and in the United States. Banbury Cross Morris Banbury Cross Morris is a Morris dancing team for young people, based in Newton , Massachusetts. When the team was founded in 1981, it was the first Morris team for young people in the U.S. Today, a number of teams for young people have followed Banbury Cross 's example, but we still proudly carry on our tradition of teaching Morris to new generations of young dancers.

Morris Dancing Quick Contents: History, Contact Info, music, other WWW sites. The Morris comprises a variety of forms of traditional ritual dances from England, but The Black Jokers specialize in Cotswold Morris, as was practiced in the villages of Bledington and Brackley in the English Midlands. Past Morris Dancing is one of the characteristic Folk Dances of England. Its origins are lost in the mists of time, derived from the pan-European agrarian traditions of fertility rites and celebrations at sowing and harvest-tide. Though well known during Shakespeare's time, the Industrial Revolution cut into its constituency so that by the turn of the century the Morris was practiced only by a dwindling number of Ale-drinking pensioners in, what some would call, the lesser sophisticated villages of the English Midlands. Transition Discovered in the nick of time by an itinerant ethno-musicologist, Morris Dancing was seen as a hither-to unstudied subject of academic research, and via publications and other means enjoyed a revival in Britain. Morris became a part of the curriculum in schools, new teams were formed, and over the decades it has spread throughout the English-speaking world. Present Today, the Morris has found a home in academe, providing research opportunities and thesis topics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Teams can be found associated with many prominent institutions of higher education, among them Marlboro College, University of Indiana at Bloomington, UCal Berkeley, and even such conservative institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, and M.I.T. Students, staff and faculty alike are captivated by the potent combination of aerobic dance and fermented beverages. Ph.D., LL.D., MBA and SB join with TA and RA; engineer and mathematician dance be-side poet and architect to celebrate the changing seasons.
