Earlsdon Morris

Earlsdon Morris formed in 1971 and perform North West clog dances that originated during the industrial revolution, particularly in the cotton mill towns of Lancashire in the north west of England. The ordinary working men of the time danced in their everyday clothes – knee breeches and heavy iron shod clogs.  To add colour to their drab costumes, bright sashes were worn and flowers were woven into garlands and placed around the traditional bowler hat.  The dancing thrived with every town and village sporting a side. The standards were extremely high and the competition fierce. The team strives to maintain that tradition and heritage.
