SRFAN: Events: 2007: Dance Displays

Traditional Dance Displays in the South Riding: 2007 Season

The region has a large number of teams or "sides" dancing various forms of Morris, Sword, Rapper, Garland and Clog, many of which may be seen at public events during the "dancing out" season. It is notoriously difficult to extract information from Morris dancers, but we will be adding information as it comes in. We also include details of public events further afield where we can get them.

As ever, dates, times and locations will be correct so far as we know; but it's always a good idea to check before making a special trip, as such things are subject to change. Contact details for these and many other teams are available in the Network's Online Directory on the Dance Teams & Clubs page.

Note: the directory is temporarily offline. It is away at the mender's.

Any additional dates or corrections to the information we have here would be welcome. Email : info@folk-network.com
