Seabright Morris Third Annual Small Ale

Scores of Morris Dancers come to Santa Cruz

From the 17th through 19th centuries there were shire-wide fairs known as ``ales'' held all over England during the week following Whitsunday. One of the sports contested at the ales was morris dancing. These ales died out, and with them went much of the morris. A century ago morris dancing was rescued from the brink of extinction. The revived morris teams now produce their own ales.

Santa Cruz has long been a favorite touring spot for the Bay Area teams. Seabright Morris is now pleased to host them as they visit. The dancers will strap bells on their legs, colorful ribbons on their clothing and perform to the sounds of pipe, fiddle, and squeezboxes. In this way we help close out this year's Whit-week of festivities being celebrated in England and elsewhere in America.
