Joint Morris Organisations Day of Dance, Stockport
26th April 2025

A tough day for a smaller than hoped for team with a limited repertoire.
A long parade followed by 14 dances (no repeats).
We were also pictured on several Stockport social media pages - Brilliant!


L-R: Del, Bill, Henry (kneeling), Andrew, Matt, Geoff, Steve, Jasper (kneeling), Rick


Setting off on the Parade to town from Viaduct Park

A 60mb movie of our route to town


In town, passing some Bollin dancers


1st Dance of the day - Nutting Girl, Ducklington


Third pair move up to do their bit


Heading across for "half gyp" of Banbury Bill, Bampton

  
Andrew crosses back to place [the pretty way, via the music men] - only to find Geoff on his way to the same place


The end of Banbury Bill - Bollin and Pebworth watching


The standing start of Little Johnny England, Moulton


Moulton "Small Rings" (on the top)


Second half of Moulton's "diagonal back to back"


Rounds


End on Little Johnny England, not unlike the start


Step up of The Quaker, Bampton with....


...Side steps up and...


...on the spot out


Sticking for Ring O'Bells, Lichfield  - 6-dancer version


Ring O'Bells, Lichfield - 6-dancer version


Heading up - playing the 2-2-2 formation with wingers, rather than the "traditional" 4-2


The correct finish!


Last dance of the day - Old Tyler, Ducklington


Steve (2nd left) seems to have confused the dance with "leapfrog"


Rounds - all preparing to change direction


I have no idea what part of the dance this is !


The end of Old Tyler and our performing for the day
