Just luv it ,its a lovely day out each year ,and im sure everyone taking part enjoys the spirit of the dance . Well done Helston ,Cornwall ,England ,we are all very proud of you!! for putting on a real show .
Brings back warm memories of Flora Day 1997. We spent two interesting weeks in Cornwall. My husband used to say, "I never wanted to go on a "Ten cities in ten days' tour. I wanted to stay in one place for awhile-- but the Royal Cornwall Hospital was not what I had in mind!" But everyone was so kind and considerate-- and my sister, niece, & I did more sightseeing around Penzance than we'd originally planned.
Known simply as 'The Flora Dance' or 'Furry Dance' - check out wikipedia for Helston Furry Dance for more info on the days events and history of the music.

Quality....
I love the barely contained hormones>
I always wanted to dance with Natasha Samson but never got the chance,
@alfiesgirluk really the only years they didn't dance was the War years because of a lack of men.
And they all had a gay old time!
Cheers.

This was banned at one time for it's ribaldry...............seems like it has been tamed down. To be honest I don't know if it is shame or not
