Morris Dancers

This is what we saw on New Year's day at Stoke Bruerne. It is called Morris Dancing and is a traditional type 'dancing' here to folk music. It is generally done by middle aged men who are looking for an excuse to get together and drink real ale. The dancers usually wear white with colourful accessories and often have bells attached to various parts of the costume (you can hear the bells in the video when they start jumping around) and hold wooden sticks or handkerchiefs in their hands.
