Etcetera Morris Men are back at the Museum of Enfield!
Morris Dancing is a form of English folk dance based on rhythmic stepping in choreographed figures by a group of dancers in costume, usually wearing bell pads on their shins or shoes. They are accompanied by a band or single musician and the dancers use handkerchiefs or sticks.
In September 1974 a group of friends, led by Colin Roker, a local teacher and subsequently head of Winchmore Primary School, started practicing in the Enfield Teachers Centre (ETC). This was the formation of Etcetera Morris Men and they have been dancing in and around Enfield, throughout the UK, and even twice in Europe, ever since.
2024 marked their 50th Anniversary! They celebrated with a fantastic Day of Dance in September 2024, along with a pop-up display at Museum of Enfield. The celebrations continue with another co-curated display in the Museum’s display space at Ordnance Unity Centre Library.
