I was once approached by a man who I'd never spoken to before to see if I would be interested in joining his Morris Dancing group.

Seems I was the 'right sort'.

That coupled with 'the cow incident' has led to years of self-doubt and insecurities.

Which 'sort' I wonder Hurdy....

The most common type of Morris performed is known as Cotswold. which is a region located in the western half of England. Cotswold dances typically consist of a series of show (or distinctive) and chorus figures (a figure is a particular maneuver). Show figures are generally very acrobatic and display the strength and still of the side, while chorus figures highlight the precision of the side. An interesting variant of Cotswold dance is the challenge dance. The chorus figure of the challenge dance are the same as other dances, however the distinctive figures are performed by two dancers at the same time, each one challenging the other to deliver the best performance of the figure.

There are several traditions of Cotswold dances, with each tradition named after the town of its origin. Such as Adderbury, Bampton, Ducklington and the oldest continuous tradition Headington. The difference between the traditions usually is in the style of the distinctive figures. Some use handkerchiefs, others clash sticks. Some tradition are precise, Adderbury for example, while traditions such as Border Morris are wild and unruly.
