Background

Wednesday Evening Border Practice Session

Wednesday practice session from 7.45pm to 9.15pm. All welcome, whether potential dancers or musicians. Please note that while we can teach you to dance we cannot teach you to play an instruments so musicians need to be competent on their acoustic instrument. We can help you learn to play the tunes we use. Youngsters are very welcome but they do need to be accompanied by an appropriate adult. We will practice our Border Morris repertoire in preparation for our end of November to mid-January Winter programme.

Welcome to the website of Leicester Morris. We are a group of ordinary people of varied ages and backgrounds, who share a love of life. We have been enjoying dancing Cotswold Morris, dressed in our Summer kit of white shirt and trousers with distinctive black baldricks and flower bedecked straw hats, in and around Leicester and Leicestershire for over 70 years. If you are interested in joining us to dance or play an instrument just speak to one of us or contact the Bagman. We can teach you the steps and the tunes. It’s fun, it’s good exercise, you will make friends and get out and about. What’s not to like!

With thanks to our hosts Stuart Broad and Harry Gurney and their Cat & Wickets Pub Company we perform Border Morris dances for an hour and a half or so, with the odd beer break, in out winter guise as Red Leicester and at some point include a performance of the Sproxton Wooing Play*. Throughout our performance we will encourage our audience to contribute to our collection for Rainbows Childrens’ Hospice - last year we raised £500!
