Chelmsford Morris dancing at Pleshey, on Boxing Day 2007.
-------------------------
The origins of Morris dancing have been lost in history, but prevalent opinion is that Morris is based pre-Christian fertility or luck bringing ceremonies. Over time, these 'pagan' dances were assimilated by the church (first the Catholic, then the Protestant) and by the1500s Morris was being performed for Easter, May Day and other parish feasts to help rise funds for the local church.
However, even with strong church ties, Morris was still danced during spring fall planting to insure a good crop, or on any important times during the planting cycle. Today, Morris is still performed in England on days such as Plough Monday, Easter, and the start of spring. Some of the dances have not changed in over hundred years and because of this long tradition, Morris dancing is considered a living tradition.
-------------------
La Morris dance est une danse traditionnelle anglaise qui faisait partie autrefois des processions et autres fêtes célébrant surtout le mois de mai.
Elle est attribuée aux Berbères. Le nom Maures est devenu en anglais Morris.
Elle est apparentée aux moresques décrites par Thoinot Arbeau dans son Orchésographie en 1589 et, notamment, aux danses des căluşeri roumains et des rusalii macédoniens.
--------------------
Il ballo del Morris o Morris dance è un ballo popolare inglese.
È basato su passi ritmati e nell'esecuzione di figure coreografiche da gruppi di ballerini. Implementa delle sorti di bastoni, spade, pipe e fazzoletti che vengono maneggiati dai danzatori.
Ci sono menzioni a riguardo del Ballo di Morris che risalgono a prima del 1448, benché danze con nomi simili e caratteristiche simili sono menzionati nei documenti rinascimentali in Francia, Italia e Spagna.
Le origini del termine sono incerte, ma una delle teorie più accettate è che il termine derivi da "moorish dance" e "Danza Moresca" (in Spagna), che infine diventa Morris Dance. Un'altra, forse più semplice, spiegazione è che "Morris" proviene dal latino "Mores" che significa costumi.
