After a significant hiatus the #Binghamton Morris Men had a practice today! Went over some of the small set dances we've been doing and started working out a new one. Looks promising.

What’s it like to grow up in Riga, Latvia? | Young and European

Snappy dresser, because he's a sewist as well. Reminds me (superficially) of the kid who was a bystander in a Louvre photo, which caught him in vintagewear.

@JaneTomlinson Not many people know that the conflation of hoodeners (we don't dance) with customs such as #MorrisDance all started because an EFDSS fan asked a chap in Kent to make a *hobby* horse based on Abbots Bromley... but instead of a tourney horse (as seen in your video) he made one looking like the local *hooden* horse. This appeared at a 1939 #folkdancing event, and the founder of Folkestone's #Folklore Festival then chose the #hoodenhorse as a symbol for local dances, handbell-ringing and other folkie things. 🐴

Excellent contradance tonight near Syracuse, part of the Phylla Mae Fall Festival. Not a big event but great music, calling, and dancing. This year's featured caller is Michael Karcher with music by Stove Dragon and Raven & Goose. Continues all day tomorrow with English country dancing and more contra.

About 30 or so contradancers swinging on a dance floor with Michael Karcher and the Stove Dragon band up on the stage. There are festive pennants and strings of lights overhead, and several pumpkins in front of the stage.

Still hasn't worked for me

Six morris dancers with white vests, shirts, and trousers, decorated with red, blue, and yellow ribbons, are dancing around a circle in a street that is wet from recent rain. Behind them are more morris dancers, some dressed similarly and some in black vests, watching. At the back is a large Tudor revival inn.

We came we danced

Two morris dancers in white with multi color ribbons and rosettes, bells on the legs, hands with hankies high in the air, dancing in a parking lot; other morris dancers are partially visible at the sides.

One of the Binghamton Morris Men tested positive for covid the day before, so we had only five for the Hudson Valley #Garlic Festival and had to borrow one Bouwerie Boys dancer for each dance. And of our seven brand new sticks, two broke. Still, a good day ending with a nice dinner at sunset at the #Saugerties lighthouse.

The Bouwerie Boys Morris Dancers, wearing white with black vests, bells on the shins, colored ribbons, and red roses pinned to the vests, dance in a circle with hankies high. Audience members watch from the background.

This Saturday, the Binghamton Morris Men are doing a more or less unprecedented (at least in recent years) second event in the same week: We'll be performing at the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival in Saugerties, NY together with the Bouwerie Boys Morris Dancers from New York. Always a good time!

Morris dancers in a group photo at the Binghamton (NY) Farmers' Market on the occasion of the Much Ado In the Garden event. One is holding a sign reading "B. F. Harridans & The Binghamton MorrisMen [sic] / Outside the Farmers Market 12pm"

I on the other hand once met a donkey that seemed to be very appreciative of Cotswold morris.

Charles River Rapper performs an unusual dance at the Museum of the Earth, Ithaca, NY on 16 August 2025. I don't know what it is called or where it comes from, but maybe it is a Flag and Bone dance?

I keep wanting to set up an online community called "How Many Morris Dancers Aren't On Facebook" but I'm afraid the answer would be "depressingly few".
