There may be some forumites who do not know that the Cotswold Morris Jig is an opportunity for an individual performer to show their skills. This can be by a change of emphasis, or expansion of style, without the constraints imposed by a team of dancers. As well as frequently being used in a ceremonial role to distinguish the solo dancer, the Jig is a valuable device for the Squire of a club to present a varied and more interesting programme.

I'd like to thank my esteemed colleague Peter for the above instruction.

I'd further recommend interested parties to check out the Website of The Morris Men of Foggy Bottom

It will be really good to see this form of dancing being introduced. After all there have been elements of Salsa, Tango, WCS, Hip Hop in MJ!! Can't wait to see if Amir takes on the challenge!

Oh and be careful where you hang your bells guys!
