@keisi108: Ebor Morris Dancers in York 🕺🏼 Morris dance, ritual folk dance performed in rural England by groups of specially chosen and trained men; less specifically, a variety of related customs, such as mumming, as well as some popular entertainments derived from them. Similar customs are widespread throughout Europe and extend to the Middle East, India, and parts of Central and South America. Notable examples are the Perchten dancer-masqueraders of Austria, the ritual dances such as the moriscas (or moriscos), santiagos, and matachinas of the Mediterranean and Latin America, and the călușari of Romania. The wide distribution of such dances suggests an ancient Indo-European origin. A common feature of many of them is that of a group of dancing men attendant on a pagan god who celebrates his revival after death. Often the dancers wear white clothes and dance with bells fastened to the legs or body. A feeling that the dances have magic power or bring luck persists wherever they are traditionally performed. #morrisdancing #folkdance #dancing #folk #morrisdancers #follow #wassail #folkmusic #bordermorris #mummers #tradition #folklore #morrisdancer #oldways #mayday #devon #cider #herefordshire #folktraditions #morris #greekdancing #dancingonice #hauntology #morrisdancersofengland #fun #dancer #ancienttraditions #mm #mumming #dancersoftiktok #yorkshire
