Cogs & Wheels Ladies Morris were formed in 1995. We take our inspiration We perform a wide variety of dances from several traditions— mostly Cotswold, with some Border and some our own. The origins of Morris dancing are often disputed but even Henry VIII married six times to get a Morris side together! The traditions have survived many centuries having been rediscovered by Cecil Sharp at the turn of the last Century. It has been a tradition of Morris dancing to pass the hat around the audience. Once it was an opportunity for people to thank the dancers for driving away evil spirits; now it helps with expenses such as the Federation membership and the enormous hanky-laundering bill. We also make regular donations to charities and this year we are collecting for Dartmoor Rescue - Okehampton Branch, and the MS Society. |
