Morris Dancers: Dorset Buttons
21st July 2010 - 8PM Onwards.The Dorset Buttons Ladies Morris Side was formed in 1978 and is based in Wareham in Dorset. They dance in the Northwest tradition and wear the wooden clogs that were everyday footwear at the time the dances were first performed. The team name originates from the hand made buttons that were widely made in Dorset until the invention of the button-making machine in the 1860s. The team's colourful dresses and vibrant dancing have become well known throughout the country.
The Dorset Buttons Mens Rapper Sword Dance team was formed in 1991 and performs dances that originate from the mining villages of Northumberland. Their intricate weaving swords together with their accompanying characters of 'Tommy' and 'Betsy' are a spectacle not to be missed.
