@RatherLargeAllan Morris dancing, derived from the term "Moorish" dancing. It was taken from the dancing style of the the Moors, who were the mixed Arab and Berber (North African) race of people who conquered Spain. Very interesting to see how culture evolves!

We were taught Morris when I was at school, along with other traditional forms of dance and music. It's so sad that we are losing such wonderful traditions.

The "gangsta rap" or more accurately called break dancing, is really incomparable to that of Morse dancing, and you make yourself sound very silly in trying to compare the too.

Yes everybody on the media takes the piss out of Morris Dancing. They are tested for it in their job interviews - honest. "Do You Like Morris Dancing" is one of the questions they get asked ... it's TRUE.
Seriously there has been a general attack on all English cultural traditions over the last few years from the same kind of loud voices that dominate PTAs and complain about church bells on a Sunday morning. It's time we fought back - Morris Dancing should be COMPULSORY!
