After a significant hiatus the #Binghamton Morris Men had a practice today! Went over some of the small set dances we've been doing and started working out a new one. Looks promising.

What’s it like to grow up in Riga, Latvia? | Young and European

Snappy dresser, because he's a sewist as well. Reminds me (superficially) of the kid who was a bystander in a Louvre photo, which caught him in vintagewear.

@JaneTomlinson Not many people know that the conflation of hoodeners (we don't dance) with customs such as #MorrisDance all started because an EFDSS fan asked a chap in Kent to make a *hobby* horse based on Abbots Bromley... but instead of a tourney horse (as seen in your video) he made one looking like the local *hooden* horse. This appeared at a 1939 #folkdancing event, and the founder of Folkestone's #Folklore Festival then chose the #hoodenhorse as a symbol for local dances, handbell-ringing and other folkie things. 🐴

Excellent contradance tonight near Syracuse, part of the Phylla Mae Fall Festival. Not a big event but great music, calling, and dancing. This year's featured caller is Michael Karcher with music by Stove Dragon and Raven & Goose. Continues all day tomorrow with English country dancing and more contra.

About 30 or so contradancers swinging on a dance floor with Michael Karcher and the Stove Dragon band up on the stage. There are festive pennants and strings of lights overhead, and several pumpkins in front of the stage.

Six morris dancers with white vests, shirts, and trousers, decorated with red, blue, and yellow ribbons, are dancing around a circle in a street that is wet from recent rain. Behind them are more morris dancers, some dressed similarly and some in black vests, watching. At the back is a large Tudor revival inn.

One of the Binghamton Morris Men tested positive for covid the day before, so we had only five for the Hudson Valley #Garlic Festival and had to borrow one Bouwerie Boys dancer for each dance. And of our seven brand new sticks, two broke. Still, a good day ending with a nice dinner at sunset at the #Saugerties lighthouse.

This Saturday, the Binghamton Morris Men are doing a more or less unprecedented (at least in recent years) second event in the same week: We'll be performing at the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival in Saugerties, NY together with the Bouwerie Boys Morris Dancers from New York. Always a good time!

I on the other hand once met a donkey that seemed to be very appreciative of Cotswold morris.

Charles River Rapper performs an unusual dance at the Museum of the Earth, Ithaca, NY on 16 August 2025. I don't know what it is called or where it comes from, but maybe it is a Flag and Bone dance?

I keep wanting to set up an online community called "How Many Morris Dancers Aren't On Facebook" but I'm afraid the answer would be "depressingly few".

American Travelling Morrice at Arts Off Main festival in Cortland, NY

#morrisDance #morrisDancing #folkDance #folkDancing #AmericanTravellingMorrice #Syracuse #SyracuseNY #concertina #whiskey
Three morris dancers, wearing white shirts and trousers, navy suspenders, and navy, grey, and burgundy rosettes and arm ribbons, two with bags slung over their shoulders and one of them also holding a concertina case, are standing facing the front of a booth decorated to look like a stone castle. To the right is part of a sign reading "DRAGON DISTILL MARATH" (with the rest of each word not visible). Across the top of the booth, white flags bear letters spelling the word "WHISKEY". Two people are staffing the booth, behind a row of whiskey bottles. Two other people are standing nearby.
