| Description: | "Chester. With famous Racecourse as 'Village Green'. 2,000 dancers recapture spirit of 'Merrie England' in monster carnival of song & dance." Chester, Cheshire. Traditional Morris dancers move in time to music as they enter the arena. They wear black sashes across their chests, black bandanas on their heads and carry pom-poms in their hands. The dancers move through a large crowd. More men in odd costume walk through the crowd. View of a third group of dancers actually performing in the center of the arena. They almost look like your typical pom-pom squad doing a dance routine, but the costumes are a little off. And the music that accompanies the routine is folk in nature. | |
