<strong>GLENFIELD</strong> <strong>GAZETTE</strong> <strong>NOVEMBER</strong> <strong>2023</strong><br />
Morris Dancing at<br />
Anstey Royale Chalfont<br />
23<br />
LADIES, are you looking for something different? A bit of<br />
a challenge? Something that is great fun and has some<br />
history behind it? Try Morris dancing.<br />
Anstey Royale Chalfont are holding a workshop on Tuesday 23 January,<br />
7.30 to 9.30 pm in the Church Rooms, Quorn. Come along and try out<br />
some dances and learn a bit about this old English custom.<br />
Here are some facts which might interest you. The first written record<br />
of Morris dancing was in the 1500s. Anstey Royale Chalfont are relative<br />
newcomers, having formed just 40 years ago. There are different forms<br />
of Morris – Cotswold and Border are two of them. We dance north-west<br />
Morris, which is based on what mill workers in Lancashire and surrounding<br />
areas danced.<br />
Chaps – and non-dancing ladies - don’t feel left out! Are you a musician?<br />
Whatever you play from penny whistle to double bass, you would be<br />
welcome.<br />
