But just what is Border Morris? There's no hankies (that's Cotswold), but rather we dance with big sticks, rag jackets, and lots of gusto! The tradition originally comes from the Welsh Borders, but had mostly died out until it was revived at the end of the 20th century. Now, there are many Border sides around the country, some of whom re-enact traditional dances, some who perform modern dances, and many who do a bit of both. We're very much at the modern end of the spectrum, and like to write our own dances that are fun to dance and awesome to watch!
