This is the site of one of the English sides whose dances we do. Contains a great explanation of the origins of Morris (not the one I prefer but...), some great pictures, a link to the ever famous Bell Public House and music! God bless ‘em — music! |

Royal Scottish Country Dance Society In the old days this link would have been called aiding the enemy. But as few of us are really British and few of them are really Scottish... Fun dancing for men & women! |
