Morris dancing is said to date back to early to late 15th century. It is a form of folk dancing accompanied by music and based on rhythmic stepping and choreographed group dancing. Sticks, swords, hankerchiefs, and bells are often used in Morris dancing. During the Oyster Festival, there was a special area exclusively set aside for a whole afternoon of Morris dancing. I'm sure you will find it as satisfying as I found it when I was there watching it live. Please note that there are two parts of Morris Dancing articles. Stay tuned for the sequel after your perusal of this one.


莫里斯舞蹈是一個英國傳統舞蹈。據說最早興起是在十五世紀初或末期。主要的特色是節奏性的踏步以及團體的舞步。常用的舞蹈道具有木棍、劍、手帕以及鈴鐺(鞋子上)。在牡蠣祭當天,有一個特別的區域專門安排給莫里斯舞蹈表演。我想看完這上下兩集,大家也會跟我當時在現場看的時候一樣滿足~

天仙念:各位讀者們,對於本篇文章裡所附上的歪歪風照片,天仙想說,此時還沒注意到自己拍得有多歪。等到最近已經「改邪歸正」後整理這批照片才發現原來以前的歪歪風這麼嚴重!其實有點可惜,不過也因為這樣我看到自己的成長(雖然速度很龜)。
