Not quite Morris. These performers are the 400 Roses. From their website: "the 400 Roses are a unique group who combine UK-style folk dancing with more exotic tribal belly dance moves". The tune being played is Sellenger's Round which is also used for an English Country Dance (think 'Jane Austen' style dancing). Outside of this team, you won't find many (if any) Morris teams kitted (costumed) like this nor dancing like this. They are unique. But there are contemporary Morris Morris sides (teams) that like to venture into unique and distinctive territory offering a blend of traditional with new approaches. For example, see Boss Morris.

The history of women in Morris is more than can be addressed here but, in the 21st Century, there are scads of women dancing Morris. That said, the dancing in this video is only kind-of Morris.

Check out Beltane Border Morris for women with attitude.

Don’t like it all. We need to keep each of these traditional styles alive but not as a meaningless mish mash. Great disservice to folk dance.

OMG Gawd help us. What is this????? Morris it ain't. Not even remotely. UK-style folk dancing???? Oh, please. No. Not even close. Sellengers Round is (BTW) one of the Playford Dance Tunes, and is in no way connected to Morris. Self obsessed would-be traditional uninformed "take" on a tradition that the "performers" know nothing about, and have done no research.

The morris tag comes from the Hebden Bridge Web who posted the video - it is to them you should be addressing your ire. The dancers are 400 Roses - a belly dance / English folk dance crossover. And they clearly do not consider themselves morris dancers.

It is called ‘clickbait’ I am surprised it wasn’t titled ‘naked morris dancers perform in the White House in front of JFK…..’
