Скачать или смотреть Northwest Morris Isolation Dance: Celebration

Another 'isolation jig' from me during the COVID-19 lockdown in the UK.

In this video, I dance and also provide music via fiddle to perform a solo version of the dance 'Celebration' which was developed in the 2000’s by John Earnshaw. This dance can be done for as many or as few people as are available, though usually it's seen performed by a group.

For this dance, I am wearing the kit of Fiddlesticks, a Norwich based Northwest Morris side whom I've been dancing with since 2008, and which formed in 1983. Northwest Morris is a style which originated in the northwest of England, in the cotton mills during the industrial revolution.

The tunes I am playing are called Wiltshire Six Hand Reel and Bertie's Polka. I start with Wilshire and then play the tunes alternately.
