Hi, Phil! Regarding your edit of Morris Dance, are you saying that before the nineteenth century it was danced by mixed sides?

Hello,

The original wording implied that before Mary Neal and The Esperence club, that the morris was exclusively male. This may have been the case for cotswold in the nineteenth century, but I was of the impression that there is evidence that women were involved in morris dancing historically. A quick google search turned up this article: http://web.syr.edu/~rsholmes/morris/realhistory.html which in the section on 16th century morris says: "Fletcher and Kemp both refer to women morris dancers; one can infer that women's participation in the morris was not uncommon in this era" I have also been led to believe that there were mixed Northwest teams around in the nineteenth century. Perhaps this line should be removed altogether.

Cheers, Phil.

Good enough for me. Your phrasing is more precise/accurate than the original, and clearly represents an improvement. I was not aware that women danced the Morris before the 19th century. Thanks for improving my understanding.
