There will be a practice on Sunday 14th of April.
An additional practice has been scheduled for the 7th of April. Usual place.
To familiarise ourselves with a bigger dancing space in readiness for our performance at the 2019 National Folk Festival we will have a practice at St Margaret’s Hall Nedclands.
Just for fun Marlee Morris is going to dance at our local farmers markets. We are anticipating doing two 20 minute brackets at 9 and 9:40 AM.
There will be a practice at the Seaward Guide Hall on the 10th of March.
The big news for Marlee Morris is that we are going to be a “Display Side” at the 2019 National Folk Festival which is held in Canberra at Easter. The Australian Morris Ring organises the Morris Dancing part of the Folk Festival. Six sides are normally chosen with three sides being display sides and three being busking sides. The display sides have to provide a half hour display and a one hour workshop as well as doing other “busking” spots around the festival. Joining us in Canberra are Belswagger Morris Dancers, Britannia Morris, Black Joak Morris, Fair Maids of Perth (& Sons), and Surly Griffin Morris For more see National Folk Festival Performance
We have also been invited to dance at a Wedding. Naturally I cannot disclose too many details but it is still exciting to be able to be part of such a joyous occasion.
Practice is normally in Seaward Guides Hall in Monash Avenue. If you are new to Marlee Morris and interested in joining us – please contact the Squire on 0400 731 049 or via email marleemorris@morris.org.au
