Cotswold Morris

When speaking of Morris dancing, the first thing that comes to mind is Cotswold Morris, which may be thought of as the "regular" kind. This is generally danced in groups (or "sets") of six dancers, arranged in three rows of two. The dancers hold hankies in their hands, or perhaps sticks, either two short or one long one. But they always have bells, on pads tied at their knees, which make a loud and cheerful rhythm as they dance.
