PULL on your dancing shoes and keep a historic tradition alive by joining the newly-formed Saddleworth Women’s Morris and Clog team.
The team will be meeting for the first time ever at a taster event on Wednesday, December 13, from 8pm-10pm, at Denshaw Village Hall.
They are looking for women dancers and also welcome any folk musicians to join their band.
Lucy Marstin, Squire of Saddleworth Women’s Morris and Clog, told the Saddleworth Independent: “Saddleworth Women’s Morris and Clog was quite the happy accident. Myself and Eddie Worrall (from Saddleworth Morris Men) had talked about setting up a team for about four years, but never quite got round to it.
“Thanks to a recent post by Molly Copson on the Rushcart lads facebook page, asking if anyone would be interested in supporting or starting a women’s side, we decided the time was right.
“We will be dancing in the North West and Clog step styles of Morris Dancing. There is no need for experience, just a willingness to learn and have fun!”
The team’s regular weekly practices will commence on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at 8pm, also at Denshaw Village Hall.
Public performances will most likely be starting around Easter time in the local areas.
