Maypole - with morris sticks!

Aug 18, 2013 14:56

 I really wasn't going to post any more maypole dances today, because I thought you'd be sick to death of them, but I've started work on a group of dances with Spanish ancestry (looking quite different - on  the basis of the ones I've found so far - to the Portuguese ones)

Just look at this one from the Dominican Republic.  How could any self-respecting morris dancer not post this one!

I think there may possibly be an overlap with mattachine traditions here, but the explanation as to why this is possible is far to long to go into here.
