Dartington Morris Men

On Saturday 18 September 2021 we invite you to join us to have a go at Morris dancing. All are welcome, regardless of age or ability, although a basic sense of rhythm is helpful!

We will give an introduction to Cotswold Morris, the style of dance performed by Dartington Morris Men. We will cover a little about the history of Morris dancing and give examples of Morris and other traditions that we perform, including the Mummers Play. There will be a chance for you to have a go as well.

Dartington Morris Men once again hosted their annual Day of Morris Dancing in Totnes on Saturday 11 September 2021.

This event was open to all local Morris sides from the Open Morris, Morris Federation, and Morris Ring to form a Joint Morris Organisation Local Day of Dance.

Four invited guest sides joined Dartington Morris Men for a great day out, starting at 11am and finishing at around 3pm.

Dartington Morris Men resumed dancing out again after the long break, by agreement with the respective venues and where it is safe to do so.

We will be performing at Bridport Folk Festival in August and Dartmouth Regatta Family Fun Day later that month. Other events are planned but remain flexible, adapting to changing circumstances as we go, but you can see our programme in the list of events on our calendar page.
