Beltane Border Morris Dancing
Thursday 9th June 2005 at 8.00pm
Beltane are a mixed Morris team dancing their interpretation of Border Morris
and are based in Stokeinteignhead, Devon. The name Beltane was adopted being
the old name for May Day - often a traditional time for Morris dancing.
Musically, the team's band comprises a mandolin, mandola, guitar, whistle, fiddle,
drums and until recently a didgeridoo.
Beltant can be recognised by their predominantly black tatter jackets, black faces,
black boots and top hats. The women wear short black skirts and fishnets while the
men wear black jeans. Tatter jackets, black faces and top hats tend to be a distinctive
part of most Border Morris team's costume - fishnets and short skirts are not!
They paint their faces black in common with many other Border Morris teams. There are
many different reasons given for this and the quick answer is that it is a disguise.
Come and join us and be entertained!
