It was a sad day when Old Spot stopped dancing. A great bunch of lads [and the odd girl I seem to remember!]. You got fit when you danced with this lot!
Wonderful performance! I'm from the States and we don't have Morris dancing in my area. I love how everyone is having a great time (with fun music too)..but I imagine it takes a good deal of practice to master this routine. Thanks for posting.

@ptpeaty why did the side stop? lack of numbers?

@brinwins I think it was lack of numbers. I danced with Old Spot for about 6 months in 1993 and they were reduced to about 8 dancers then.

@ptpeaty such a shame. I can imagine this lot going to all the top festivals like Sidmouth ect.

I just love morris dancing - I wonder if it has its origins in Irish dancing?

in America, people pay to do the same thing in a gym. They call it "aerobics".
This looks like more fun.
