Morris Recruitment
If you have ever watched Morris Dancing and thought "I could do that" or even if you haven't, why not come along and try it out? There are several teams in the Ripon and Harrogate area that would welcome you with open arms. Here the details of just a few. It would be advisable to ring 01765 620441 just to check that practice is on that particular week and we aren't out at a pub somewhere. Autumn is a good time to start, if you find you are enjoying dancing then you'll have learnt a few for the following year's dance outs.
You will find that all these teams are very friendly and always go to a pub after practice. It is also free of charge for the first 'term'. There's no need for special clothes, we don't practice in our 'kit'!
