Hollytree Morris Dancers

Morris dancing is a centuries-old traditional English folk dance. Hollytree Morris is Canada’s oldest Morris side, we celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2024. You can find more about us and about Morris dancing here – https://hollytreemorris.ca/ –

We practice every Tuesday from 7 – 8 PM at the Scout Hall at 459 Chester St (near Cook St Village), our practices are always open to new dancers. We also welcome new musicians as, unlike most folk dance groups, we have live music. We also go to the pub (Christie’s Carriage House) after practice, its part of the tradition!. We dance out at events and public spaces in the summer, starting at dawn on May Day (May 1st) – a tradition followed by all Morris dancers around the world (and there is a strong global network of sides) because if we don’t, the sun won’t rise! We also continue to practice Tuesday evenings all summer, but outside, usually at St. Anne’s Academy.

If you would like to attend our practice (any Tuesday night, not just in Dance Week), please e-mail Trevor Hancock at [email protected].
