Morris dancing

Last Wednesday a group of Morris Dancers came to our school to show us some dances.  I learnt that because the Morris Dancers used to dance in barns, they wore bells around their ankles to scare away the mice, but the bells also help keep the beat. They also used big hankies for some dances and they used them to scare away any witches that might have been about.  Morris Dancing is usually about things that happen in their everyday lives, like a rain or sunshine dance.   My favorite dance was the Lollypop Dance.
