The huge variety of English folk dance styles reflect the constantly evolving nature of tradition.
19th and 20th century revival and ‘created’ traditions have now become traditional for many participants.
Traditional processional dancing in the North West of England has evolved into carnival morris, also called fluffy morris, which dates from the 1920s and bears strong resemblances to American cheerleading, using pompoms and modern costumes.
Donations provide immediate support. But even more than that, they prove that so many people value what we do – helping us to secure funding from partner organisations.
