Witham: Clog dancers team up in town centre

4:00pm Tuesday 29th May 2012 in Braintree and Witham News

Witham was all clogged up when two groups of Morris dancers teamed up to put on a show for spectators at Grove and Newland shopping centres.

Sylvie Bullen-Bell, 48, who dances with Maldon's Alive and Kicking Morris, said it went really well.

She added: "We were very well received by the Witham public, especially the young people. I was quite surprised."

Mrs Bullen-Bell, of Wood Road, Heybridge, said the teams handed out leaflets to educate people about traditional dancing.

Alive and Kicking Morris is a mixed group that dances in the traditional North-West Clog style.

Rumford Morris Men, from Romford, do stick and handkerchief dances mostly from the Cotswolds.
