Morris DancersThere are six styles of morris dancing.
They are:
Cotswold, which is danced with handkerchiefs or sticks to accompany the hand movements;
North West, which is military in style and often processional;
Border - a simpler, looser, more vigorous style, normally danced with blackened faces;
Longsword - where swords are used;
Rapper or Short sword dancing from Northumberland and Co Durham;
Molly Dancing - East Anglian tango-style dancing by out-of-work ploughmen.
