Author Biography
Chloe Elizabeth Middleton-Metcalfe
After becoming fascinated by both folk dance and garment making, Dr. Middleton- Metcalfe’s earliest research was into morris dance costumes. Her undergraduate thesis ‘Rags, Bells and Baldrics’ collected information and kit histories from over 300 current teams, and its historical analysis provides the basis for this resource pack. She continued her research into English folk dance costume with an MA in Investigating Fashion History, where her thesis focused on step dance and sword costumes. Her TECHNE funded PhD ‘Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020: An Examination of Non-Specialist English Social Folk Dance’ at Roehampton University, focused on a non-performative dance genre, often engaged in without special costumes. Dr Middleton-Metcalfe is an editorial board member of The Folk Music Journal and a member and trustee of the Instep dance research team.
