Morris dancing clearly has indigenous European pagan roots, as does the far more widespread Maypole dancing. In fact, I have done the latter at certain festivals (albeit clumsily as I am no dancer). Be that as it may, I think the lack of male-specific dancing has more to do with modern social reasons than anything else.
This video, as well as the full article on the website, are of great quality and show profound insight. I'm very grateful that you've chosen to work to learn and share about ritual dancing and their incorporation into modern folk practice.
moriss dancing is thought to originate in spain as a celebratory dance for the banishment of the moorish from spain.

@Danboy5050 Real men are comfortable enough in their manhood and sexuality to not have to worry what others may think.

That was great. Well done! If you have enough energy left for an encore I'll look forward to it.

Excellant video , it amazes me that the link between E.folk dance and our heathen/asatru faith has not been discussed more .
