Morris Dancing

Want to give Morris dancing a go? This is your chance to try it!

Bristol Rag Morris is the university’s very own Morris dancing side, complete with cacophonous bells, ragged costumes, and rubber chickens. Dedicated to keeping tradition alive and almost in fashion (we can certainly turn a few heads), if you’ve ever fancied throwing dignity to the winds and just jumping, dancing, or hitting things with a stick then we may be the group for you. Love of folk music, physical co-ordination and experience are all largely unnecessary – we teach our repertoire of dances from scratch every year, beginners are welcome at any point, and supportiveness and fun are at the top of our priorities. We perform to live music all across Bristol, across Somerset and Gloucestershire, across the country and frankly, across Europe. Exotic locales and free entry to ceilidhs (and even the occasional festival) are definite perks! Spare costumes, hankies, sticks, bells, and a mildly alarming hobby horse are all provided; good sports shoes are strongly advised.

 

Practice is on Thursday evenings at 8-10pm, in the Dance Studio (in the Student Union building on Queen's Road).
