Thanks =)

Incorrect in every detail.

@Wotsitorlabart I know, I was tipsy, and was thinking out loud... I have another wrong theory, it goes something like, dangit, the boys are fighting, now they're hitting eatchother with sticks, what if we make up a dance, and get them to hit the sticks in a routine, it's basically something to do, burn off energy, plus part of me still thinks it's combat training, but more giving kids something to do. I'm wrong again, and I'll admit it, haven't researched it, just hungover and thinking out loud Theoretically, if back then the most common force multiplier was a piece of wood, like a club, I'm kind of imaging at one point people were sparring, came up with the idea it was fun, then came up with the idea if they co ordinated they could kinda make music, then they got carried away, added more people and Morris dancing was invented.... We Can agree it would be a workout? Your swinging wood, hitting wood, dancing around, it's building up muscle memory and spacial awareness

@@davehart1027 Incorrect in every detail - but fantastically inventive!

@Wotsitorlabart that's why I say I'm wrong,

@@davehart1027 It really was a compliment.

Actually, those Eastern European dances are similar to these.

The very early morris dancers had fabric streamers pinned to the shoulders of their coats - by 1600 they were holding napkins.

But not related at all.

@@YorkyOne This dance style was brought by the Dacians when the Roman Empire conquered you, now it has changed a lot, but if you want to know the root, look for the Calușarii and you will see the truth!

I'd imagine there are folk dances with similarities all over Europe (and beyond). I was wondering if the sticks were originally agricultural implements - cause I can't imagine anyone but knights and the upper classes being allowed to carry swords around all the time.

Boring quote.

This is such an important point to make. They are dances designed for people to join in.

​@@kathykeeley352 But ironically the origins are as an entertainment in the 15th century royal courts of Europe.

I don't know when and where the Morris dance originated from, I am not an expert, but I see a lot of similarities with the Romanian dance "Calusarii." The Romanians claim that their dance is over 2 thousand years old, even before the romans invaded Dacia, and it was originally a ritual. Also, there are resemblances with the Portuguese Pauliteiros dancers, well the romans were present in all the regions that I mentioned. So who knows.

@@georgem1257 The Romanians 'claim'. But a simple search reveals the 'Calusarii' has no known history before the 17th century. The morris dance can be traced back to a 15th century European royal court entertainment. Earliest reference is from the Burgundian court of 1427-28. Earliest reference in England is from the Goldsmiths Company in London in 1448.

@@georgem1257 The Pauliteiros dancers appears to be a stick dance possibly of late Middle Ages origin. The earliest references to the use of sticks in morris dancing is from the late 17th century - the 'Bedlam morris' of the West Midlands.

Merci beaucoup Christian 🤩☺️🙏🙏

Merci beaucoup Aline 🤩🙏 Je l'aie vue sur le dos et je me suis dit que c'était inhabituel et qu'il se passait peut être quelque chose ! J'ai installé l'appareil photo sur trépied... Attendu... Et deux heures plus tard, un bébé puceron est né ! C'est donc parti d'une intuition, doublée de chance 😁

How they believed the Moors might dance - exotic.

@@ThePrinceofPlots why would they imitate active enemies of Christendom? Makes no sense outside of the dance world.

@@darrendin2050 there were christianized moors? You do know that right? and it’s not like people didn’t mix and mingle. It’s pretty fucking obvious they are mimicking Moors dude 😂 like super obvious This ignores that literally English definition of Morris dancing (quite literally after the manner of the moors) plus people reacted differently in different areas to the presence of moors. It’s almost the most obvious thing look at them. Lmfao FUCKING LOOOK AT THEM

​​​@@ThePrinceofPlots The earliest morris dances were royal court entertainments and consisted of several richly dressed young men dancing with exaggerated poses around a young lady (in one description she is holding an apple) - they are each trying to woo her. It isn't literally a dance that the Moors would have performed - it's how high 15th century Western European culture imagined they would have danced.

Britain has many more varied folk dance styles than many other places. This is just one ancient ritual style. We also have clog dancing, sword dancing, etc.

@@susandrydenhenderson6234 And English country dancing, as in Playford's 17th century manual "The English Dancing Master". English country dancing moved up the social hierarchy and spread to European court dancing.

It's some rural folk dancing, like there is all over the world. What's pathetic about it?

Thank you so much =)

No, it wasn't imported from Dacia with the Roman Legions. Utter nonesense!

Thank you for your comment 😃I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you so much 😃

Thank you very much =)

Thank you very much =) Yes it is!

Hi, I don't know what is the name of the first music. But you can contact the Chilttern Hundreds Morris on their Instagram page to ask them: @chilternhundredsmorris 😃

Britain, like many countries, has many different styles of folk dance. For a small country it has always been a very rich and varied culture from area to area. Obviously it gave the world its language, literature, law, culture too. What are you trying to say and why?

What are you implying? It’s one of many styles of British traditional folk dance. Other countries have theirs. What’s your point and purpose?

Lol you should thank the moors for western civilisation

@tyrone9953 HAHAHHA. Come on Tyrone, edumacate me, boy. Let's see what trash you can bring to the table with this one

The morris dance does not commemorate the Reconquista. Morris derives from 15th / 16th century variations on Moorish - how they imagined the Moors might dance.

@@tyrone9953 How's that? Did they inspire the ancient Greeks? Or the Minoans? Fool

@@YorkyOne I highly doubt one would commemorate or imitate a sworn enemy (and a heathen at that!). Especially when England was actively sending knights and retinues to aid in the reconquista itself. Highly unlikely, no?

This is on local news often. Stop trying to be a victim. How much money do you donate to Morris Sides? How many folk festivals did you go to last year? How many Morris festivals did you organize last year? Traditions only die when people don’t go to the festivals. Stop being a false victim.

@@StoptheHateJustDebate local news isnt major media, reread what he said

@@StoptheHateJustDebate because most people dont know about them, because theres none of it on peoples news

@@beeball99 gotta cover all the deaths overseas don't we!

For good reason😂

Thank you very much! 😊🙏

Hi, that's a good idea, but I'm unfortunately not the organisator of this festival ☺ You can contact the organisator of the Oxford folk festival to propose. Here is their Instagram account: @folkweekend_oxford

a somali saying this 😂

Who brought the industrial revolution to the world?

Magna Carta, maybe?

You don't know much about English culture and history 😂 silly individual! God bless though

Said, in English, on the Internet, using a pc or a mobile phone. You're jealous, you loser. 😢😢

Thank you very much 😃

Can you imagine other civilisations built the Pyramids and Taj Mahal and this is all these people can be proud of.

why you got to bring us down man?@@ramatgan1

Thank you for watching ;)

Your video is perfect. First time watching this dance. Can you include how these dances came to be?

Quite the workout!

Yes it was! 🏅

Traditional dances are like that.

Thanks 🙏
