Foreword
These pages summarise basic details about the traditions we dance. The content of these pages was never intended to be a treatise on Morris dancing, but a guide as to the finer points of these different traditions, for members of the audience and supporters who would like to understand a little more about what is going on.
For details of the dances, the interested reader should refer to a more comprehensive book, such as Lionel Bacon's A Handbook of Morris Dancing (The Morris Ring, 1974), the source texts themselves, or better still ......join a Morris Team
