Nice dancing!

@meandmymandola That comment I made was a response to someone saying what does Morris Dancing have to do with the Renaissance, and then said "Stupid aculturalist Americans." You probably didn't notice that because it was before YouTube added the feature where a response comment automatically says that it's to a specific person.

True, he did not in the 10 days he later wrote about in his book but he did do it. In england a morris dance was clearly known from the later half of the 15th century the two earliest reference date to 1448. However we have no ideas how they dance, what they wore or what they danced to. It still remains that the dances shown here are doing a very 19th century morris dance...especially to english country gardens :P
P.S I with we had Ren Faires over here :)

Actually, I discovered that one of Shakespeare's actors was one of the first Morris Dancers to do a publicity stunt. Will Kemp Morris danced from London to Norwich. That's what Morris Dancing has to do with the Renaissance. Confused aculturalised Americans? Maybe about everything else, but not about Morris Dancing.

They also sell American pickles at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, food on plastic and styrofoam plates, soda pop, they have plastic port-a-johns, and musicians out there who busk might play instruments like clarinet or acoustic guitar. The Minnesota Renaissance Festival doesn't even care about being accurate, and everyone out there knows how inaccurate the festival is. There have been several jokes about the inaccuracy made by several performers.
